How come noone mentions brave, brave Sir Garrick?

I was a bit disappointed with Xan and especially his moonblade (looked cool but what good could it do? He was a mage!?!) so I never really played him for long. Was he good in the end or not?

Ajantis, Branwen and Coran.

I guess this would be a bit of a SPOILER>>>

The PC kills Ajantis right away when you get to the Windspear Hills and fight the knights under the monster illusion. Sometimes you don't learn this because Garren comes in right away, but at one point Anomen piped up immediately after the fight and said that he recognized the knights from the Order, and one of them was Ajantis

Coran (the best archer Dex=20)
&
Shar-Teel.I really believe she fits well in BG2 as an evil female fighter

If you have Keldorn in your group, he can also identify your dead knight

Shar-Teel would have been great in an evil party. I bet she and Korgan would have got on like a house on fire...

Kirvan! That guy was the pimp. I was bummin when i found out he wasn't in the deuce. That guy had a cool background, voice, and he tore things to shreads. Big mistake to drop him in the second one.

Am I too late. I'll vote for Kivan. Cool guy, great voice.

Ok I havent played the whole game and havent encountered every NPC but so far Ajantis and Branwen rule. took them instead khalid and jaheira. The bad thing is that Ajantis only have 13 dex. All the enemies aim for him.

The only lines missing from Kivan were:
"You feelin' lucky, punk!"
and
"Go ahead, make my day."

1.Yeslick, definitely. He's a good char and I like his personality.

2.Ajantis, same reasons.

Bump XAN!

Kivan was cool as an archer also Coran. These two characters with good bows are all you need archery wise!

Also Dynaheir she ruled as a mage.

Actually that's a point. Why are there only specialist mages in BG1 and 2. I would have preferred straight mages or sorcerers as if you only have 1 mage (I had Dynaheir in BG1) you lose a lot of good spells. Thats the only problem with specialists, the fact that they can'y cast all types of spells.

I suppose thats the tradeoff though for an extra spell of that sphere
