Your single favorite character

nptitim

I am getting ready to do my first fun with IWDEE, haven't played the game since my first run through when it was initially released oh so long ago. I was wondering what your favorite single character was to play? I don't have time to do too many playthroughs so just curious what character you really enjoyed being?

CaptRory

I love vanilla bards. And the extra music in IWD really makes them shine.

LaVoix

I love my elven archer. So much death-dealing, even with all the skeletons about.

JLee

I have a party right now with an archer, a vanilla bard, and an avenger. I can't really say which one is my favorite, they are all great. If pressed, I'd probably go with avenger, but I'm glad to have all three.

Kenji

Good ol' single class fighters.

MrGoodkat

If you're going for a solo run I would definitely recommend Fighter/Mage/Thief.

Seconded. Druid spell selection is unbelievable.

Bawookles

I love sorcerers and I love monks. Monks are going to be a challenge in this game because they don't really get good until they are 12th level or higher. I'm still playing them though!

Sid, my Vanilla Bard, who leads her party wielding a dagger, a crossbow, and her lute.

Nimran

Stoat, the Ferret Lord, a LN sorcerer who had picked find familiar as one of his first spells.

CutlassJack

Swashbuckler. Always Swashbuckler.

Jarrakul

It's hard to pick a single favorite in a party-based game. I love my barbarian, because she kills everything and tanks improbably well. I love my bounty hunter, because there's nothing like a thorough trapping to ruin someone's day. I love my totem druid, because when the going gets tough he's always got a trick up his sleeve to pull us through. I wouldn't really want any of them on their own (except maybe the totem druid), but with the rest of the party around them, they're fantastic.

Dwarven Defender till the end... the art of defense is a skill worthy of mastering...

This so much. My elven archer is a goddess in any battle... until she runs out of arrows. After my "little" venture through Dragon's Eye, when I got back to town I bought a ammunition belt and around 400 arrows to ensure she wouldn't run out anymore.

Welkin

Will have to try an archer next time, I've always like dedicated range attackers but have tended to use fighters.

Really liking my druid and mage/thief but still can't go past Vandal the Half-Orc Fighter/Cleric

Alketir

Well, my vanilla bard does quite a lot of work, either casting his decent repertoire or spells, or simply just singing one of the many useful songs. Although he tends to be there for the song, I like to think he's (musically) leading the party.
