This pool has spoilers about SOD! I warned you!
In Siege of Dragonspear, after the last fight in the crypt where the game begins, many BG NPCs disappear, leaving the party with just a random sentence about what they plan to do. *Sigh*
Which NPC would you have liked to keep in the party in SOD?
Please note that I did not include in the pool Imoen, Tiax, Skie, Coran and Garrick because they still have a cameo or an important rule in the game.
Due to the 10 options limit:
- I could not include Ajantis. If he is the one you would like to travel with, please post his name
- I put Yeslick and Kagain together; if you choose this option, please specify which one you voted.

- She has a lot of potential as NPC. We know very little about her past, except that Angelo was her father, so there is plenty of room to develop her personality in an interesting way. Also, try to imagine Shar-Teel dealing with Corwin and Voghlin. Heh.
- She is evil. SOD definitely needs evil NPCs.
- She is a powerful fighter. SOD desperately needs strong warriors for the frontline.
- She can be dual-classed as thief. SOD absolutely needs a thief for evil parties.
"-grunt-"
Main Character, Shar-Teel Dosan, Viconia Devir, Edwin Odeisseron, Dorn-Il-Khan, Safana would be a nice party to have.
A character development where Kivan would have to come to turns with his loss after the revenge objective was fulfilled could have made for interesting writing, I find.
Plus his ranged THAC0 is very strong indeed, while he also holds his own in melee.
I agree. Shar-Teel and Branwen are very nice and useful NPCs.
PS: You forgot to vote
OH and he's a fighter and this game needs more front liners
We need more male elves and melee fighter ladies. But my vote goes to Shar-teel
They removed all short people from the party - dwarfs, gnomes, halflings.

(they are a work in progress however)
Shar-Teel gets my vote for reasons already stated, followed by Branwen.
Eldoth/Garrick - we also have a bard for replacement.
Tiax - pretty much the same.
Faldorn, Branwen - new goblin (I still can't remember her name even though I like her as an NPC very much)
My vote is for Kagain... angry, psychopathic dwarfs need some love.
I like that they got to interact with the first act boss. But there responses seem a little out of place. Rushed...
Especially their departure... like BG2/BG2EE they assume the protagonist acted a certain way to be the deciding factor of them just saying "This an't working out for us! We gotta go! Sorry... sucks to be you lol"
I'm not Abdel Adrian! Stop forcing your choices on me! I'm a bloody murder!!
However... I would have loved a deeper departure than that considering they spend the WHOLE! Freaking adventure with me, taking down the Iron Throne. I deserve a good goodbye!
Xzar would be up there too if it weren't for the fact that he'd need his original voice actor back for a full-length adventure. Faldorn's not nearly as reliant on hers (though I like it well enough).
TIAX RULES ALL!
... why TIAX wasn't given a spot on the voting roster is a matter that shall be dealt with when He RULES ALL!
I'm fine with Quayle not being in SoD. He needs some time to justify his personality shift after meeting Aerie, after all. The same goes for Montaron and Xzar.
I wish we'd get an Eldoth cameo, though, if only a brief one. That would be a nice little nod.
