So there I was playing SoD when...

Koyote

Bellowgulp and the Concocter burrowed up from the ground. I got a smile on my face and was happy to see them make it to (relative) safety. Beamdog has gotten a lot of flak over the content they've added over the past few years, but I have really enjoyed the additions more often than not. One of my guilty little pleasures is to take an hour or two to play the Black Pits. Baeloth and M'Khiin are two of my favorite NPCs in the series. I very much enjoyed Siege of Dragonspear. Good job guys, and I hope you don't stop making content.

Spoiler is for @Amber_Scott

I don't think many people would accuse me of being liberal minded, and all the controversy almost made me not buy the expansion. I was fully expecting something akin to a 20 hour marathon of Nancy Grace. After playing SoD, I'm beginning to wonder what planet I'm on. I didn't come across anything more offensive to my sensibilities than had I spent my time watching TV or going outside. Sorry you became the target of an internet shitstorm.

Is M'Khiin from the Black Pits? I played the BG1 version but haven't played the BG2 version. Is that where she is?

M'Khiin is a recruitable goblin NPC from Siege of Dragonspear . It's baffling, everyone seems to like her even though she doesn't have a quest, she isn't very powerful, she certainly isn't pretty, and she's about as cuddly as a porcupine. Guess she has that je ne sais qui.

Yeah I knew her from SoD, I thought you meant that she had also appeared in the Black Pits, like the Concocter cameo in SoD. I do like her character, she's soft spoken but seems knowledgeable without being a know it all. A nice change from opinionated characters like Edwin, Jaheira and Anomen.

M'Khiin isn't particularly hard to define. In a game of bombastic, screaming maniacs of every shade and description, she's a sensible and down to earth veteran who doesn't raise her voice, doesn't waste words, and doesn't make trouble (except when Baeloth is involved). She is an exception to her species: not as a rebel, but as the only grown up in a species of children, and just groans at the self-destructive stupidity of her own kind. Kind of like a goblin Drizzt, if Drizzt weren't a gods touched megastar in the metafiction and if Drizzt was just horribly beaten down by a sense of responsibility for his own kind and sick to death of their stupidity.

She is, in short, the perfect fit for a massive gaping void in the franchise's roster, and a much needed breath of fresh air. She and Corwin are practically unique in that regard, and always welcome in my party.

She is also an unusual and exotic character to recruit, not unlike Wilson, the drow, or Dorn. That's enough to catch some attention. She's then also an interesting introduction to a new class, and manages to do something that no disreputable or neutral characters before have been capable of: she doesn't complain about high reputation. In fact, she says it's a nice change of pace.

Short version: M'Khiin is pretty much everything Baldur's Gate was lacking before SoD.

Legendary

Yeah, M'khiin is probably one of the best characters they've written. Her and Glint were mainstays in my party.
