In Topic: What part of BGII gameplay do you find the most fun and why?

Hmm, I think I love the story/RPG aspect the most. Plot twists, interesting characters and their funny interaction with each other... I also like defeating special, difficult enemies. Like that demon Alec...something in BG1: TosC. Epic fights, like someone put it.

But what I like most about Baldur's Gate is that in it, all these things (puzzles, fights, plot twists) are well balanced. For example, while I liked the story in NWN2, I think it was too plot-driven for a computer game. Whereas NWN1 was too geared towards small, annoying fights. So, balance is most important.

...why yes, my class would most likely be a druid if I were a D&D character...

In Topic: Least Favorite BG2 NPC!

I'm sorry, but I've always hated Imoen, even more so in SoA. Perhaps I wouldn't hate her so much, if she didn't appear on all the dreams and EVERYWHERE. Now it has escalated to the point that I always turn her away from my party at the Chateau Irenicus, and again when I save her from the Spellhold. (Of course, other NPCs will then think that I'm a nasty, evil person for not wanting her with me!) I even tell everyone that I'm hunting Irenicus instead of "I'm off to save my sister, blah blah" :lol2:

Another one I don't really like is Nalia. So naive and useless as a thief. Also, she just got worse in ToB. Why, why are all the thief characters either multi-classed and useless, plain annoying or backstab you and disappear?

I actually like Valygar very much. I admit he's not the best fighter, but if I can, I keep him around. Something about brooding dark heroes...
