Absolutley LOVED his character, attributing everything to either strength or weakness. I did however think he would at least have a soft spot for his mother, and was disappointed in the fact that it wasn't so. That is however not enough to make me dislike this character already. I know that if I make a female Charname, she's choosing him over Rasaad, and DEFINITELY over Anomen!
Well, he didn't drop his mother. That counts as a soft spot for his alignment range.
@PhillipDaigle Is it possible to add links to the CandleKeep Library for the specific character on the 'new character' page for that character, and vice-versa? That way, if you don't know about the Library, you can find it when you're reading the initial info?
I like the fiction pieces, more for Neera and Dorn. It's definitely getting my excitement back up (it dipped hard when the release date moved).
Someone needs to throw up a "favorite character from stories" poll. Also a "who would win in a fight poll," although in that case the answer should vary dramatically from BG1 to BG2. (High-level monks are unstoppable.)
Dorn bristled at the sound, **more more** than that he hated his mother for making him look like a child
Either a word got left out and then replaced by "More" once more... or you just typed the word twice. I think you also need a semi-colon in place of that comma, so it reads, "Dorn bristled; more than that, he hated his mother for making him look a child."

Im more for "Who wants Phillip Daigle to reveal the easter eggs because my eyes hurts" poll...
Another typo: "He understood the common tongue, but he usually he spoke the language of orcs." - extra "he".
And "Enhancments" on Dorn's character page.
< /nitpick >
Also, in the Dorn's character page the "Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition" isn't highlighted like in Neeras page and Rasaads..
"Dorn is a half-orc Blackguard whose otherworldly patron grants him terrible powers in the form of his black sword and unholy spells. Add him to your Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition( <---- should be highlighted ) and inflict evil to the last corpse."
@Jalily Not this time. You two get in on the Beta, and we'll work something out. I really have no proofreader at the moment, and the guy who would normally help me out is moving.
The ending was bittersweet.. he found a city where he wouldn't stand out and where he could make a name for himself but ended his connection to the last person to care about him... even if she was a weak, spineless excuse for a mother.
Hmm... Rasaad and Dorn... it makes for an interesting parallel: Rasaad, an orphan, trained by monks; Dorn, almost an orphan, raising himself in Luskan territory.
How would Rasaad have turned out if his brother had died and he'd been forced to fend for himself in a city of pirates? How would Dorn have turned out if a monk had taken him in and taught him about different types of strength and what may count as weakness in a man?
I wonder to what extent Dorn would fit in with a good party... From the voice acting he doesn't appear to be a "murder! death! kill! murder! death! kill!" sort of guy but rather an "out for himself, tough luck if you're a weakling" kinda guy. I really hope good aligned NPCs won't object to his presence on principle. I mean, Xzar is being his usual happy-go-mad self, flattering the PC with sweet lines such as "your voice is ambrosia" and all of a sudden Khalid is stammering "could you be a bit less evil?". That escalated quickly. :P

Talking about nitpicking... :-p
