I write about a few, but only a couple of them have become actual PCs I've played with. Nuila was shadowkeepered so she could be an elven monk, and Bree is my usual choice for an evil party -- a halfling fighter (though sometimes I make her a fighter/thief).

Mostly, though, I tend to create characters and play a bit with them and then lose interest. If I'm trying a new romance, I always create someone 'new' because I tend to attach PCs to romanceable NPCs (for example, Revel, my CN bard, will always be with Edwin, and Lara, my first ever cleric and second actual PC(!), will always be Anomen's.

(OT) Nothing wrong with that. Games I've played for the first time this year include KotOR I and II, IWD2 (and again with the NPC pack) and (soon) Jade Empire. I didn't even play Fallout 1 and 2 until last year. It's amazing how many games you miss when you are mired in MMORPG hell. :D

I have Oblivion waiting as well and also mean to try NWN2 - just need to buy some extra RAM but am plucking up the courage because I'm such a technical spaz. :D


(off topic too -- sorry, will be brief!) Oblivion's on my 'to-get' list after a recommendation from a friend:) As well as KoTOR I and II, Jade Empire... And I keep hearing about Fallout and Mass Effect, so perhaps those too after some investigations. It's been a lack of decent PC that's stopped me, but despite that excuse, it's only been in the past year I played and finished IWD I and II.

To be on-topic, I'd list the characters I dislike in GTA games, but I fear it'd never end...

NWN - I've only started playing it and I have Tomi as my henchman -- but I really wish he'd talk a bit more and, you know, be a bit more interactive...


This, IMO, is the main flaw of NWN OC. If you want interesting characters and a good storyline, I'd skip ahead to the two expansions - you really won't miss much.


Yeah -- we found the NWN CDs when we moved, and I don't think we ever purchased the expansions, though they're on my Xmas-Want list :) I don't mind the game too much -- it's new and interesting in that way, but it just feels very quiet and... uh, empty, I suppose, to a degree. Of course, I'm about 5 years behind when it comes to gaming, so I have a fair bit of catching up to do with all the gasmes around now that I still haven't tried... :)

BG - Eldoth. He's probably the only character I can honestly say I hate.

BG2 - I'm not a Haer'Dalis fan, and I find Cernd quite dull in the main, but I don't hate them. Korgan amuses me, but I've only taken him along once or twice. I don't think I hate any of the BG2 lot.

NWN - I've only started playing it and I have Tomi as my henchman -- but I really wish he'd talk a bit more and, you know, be a bit more interactive...

Starcraft - Jim Raynor and all the terran soldiers. I just... guh. I hate their voices, and I'm protoss-loyal to the end :)

In Topic: Challenge #43: Mary Sue

Oh man, the pink (I don't think I've ever used the colour so much in a picture)... It started as a Mary Sue, and ended up being whatever ridiculously stupid thing I could think of.


I normally just lurk over here, but your pic reminded me (rather terrifyingly) of Wonderwoman... and I'm not quite sure why, but I think it might have been the boots :blink: (It's very good, though!)
