- Swashbucler or Fighter/Thief
- Jan Jansen
- Jan Jansen, because he's the only good thief
- Jan and Minsc
- BG2 - SoA
- Lilacor, the Sympathic Talking Sword :D
- Bodhi
- Volo (Both in ToB and BG1) and Neeber/Noober!
- Never really listened at BG1 or BG2 musics. I usually open Winamp while I'm on the computer.

One note: I assume you are a native french-speaker. The word "demand" in english translates roughly to "exigence", so it is a forceful requirement. The "polite" translation you are looking for is "request" (from "requête" of course). Unless you are looking to anger people :) .


-Wizard (conjurer)
-Minsc! Or maybe, Boo. So hard to know...
-Keldorn (assuming I am a conjurer :) )
-Edwin
-BG2
-ALso Lilarcor; great weapon at the time as well. Too bad there aren't NPC banters with it :)
-improved ToB Boss (Not naming spoilerish names)
-first run-thru; the encounter before saving Phaere. Generally, the improved last ToB battle
-n/a, don't play it.

-Pure thief, Sorceror
-Jan is my fav, he's longwinded and very funny.
-Keldorn can weild Carsomyr, has Dispel and True Sight, and such.
-Minsc ("Don't teach my hamster to suck eggs!") and Edwin ("Someone go fetch him a banana.")
-Shadows of Amn. Throne was MUCH too overpowered. BGI was very fun, but BG2 just fit better, for me.
-Helm of Brilliance, Flail of Ages, and Daystar.
-Acsension Finale (the whole time you're at the Throne of Bhaal)
-The two encounters with the Spectator Beholder. :D
-Throne was better, I suppose. I'm not big on combat music.
If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.

-Hrrrmm...Kensai/thief multiclass or Fighter/cleric I guess
-Jan is the funniest, but I'd have to say Jaheira, I've never played a party without her
-Most useful? I don't see that having a meaningful answer.
-Coolest soundset - well, Irenicus overall, Edwin for joinables "Someone get this jerk a banana.." :D
-BG2 has, overall, the best writing IMAO
-Sanchuudoku
-The Improved Ascension fight, I guess.
- Coolest has to go to two fights: Eclipse party for sheer wickedness, and The Ritual for sophisticated use of low-stat (70 point) NPCs with no cheesy undroppable gear.
-Combat music - meh, I like the romantic music better.
I have given up all lesser evils as inadequate to my purpose.

I think he was just kidding
Yeah - but I am used to working with folks from francophile countries, and using "demand" is a common mistake (was guessing from the title, "appreciations", as well). I figured that if The Jester wasn't doing it on purpose, that someone should tell him(her?), since he can accidently piss off folks without having an idea why. Better I look like a fool than he does, I figger ;) .

Iamweaver, your intentions are really good :) I agree with you, anyway, and as Jester says above, sometimes he makes little mistakes like that, so I'm sure that was help for him.

Where do you come from, btw (if I might ask)?

Jester, the only thing that counts is that you can make yourself undrestood :D As long as the others know (or can guess) what you want, lesser grammar mistakes can be ignored, IMHO. But I still don't see what you meant by the title, though... Maybe "preferences"?

Guys, lets keep this thread on topic or try the SYM forum, unless you want fable to close it. ;)

-Archer of course, there's no contest on that one :D
-That would be either Haer'Dalis or Jaheira. Probably Jaheira, because she makes it into my part every single game. It's just no fun without her.
-Haer'Dalis. He's a blade, need I say more?
-Either Viconia or Jaheira. They both got some sort of "tone" to their voice, which makes it interesting to listen to.
-Shadows of Amn. The longest, best, most intriguing and still challenging part of the series.
-That would be either the Robe of Vecna or Celestial Fury.
-Irenicus, he's someone who you really start to hate when you play the game. His powers, voice set and actions make him the coolest boss. Draconis would be second best.
-I think the SoA fight against Irenicus (Ascension) is the coolest. It's a long, exciting and hard -but not too hard- battle. When you beat him every single time you really feel like you've accomplished something.
-Amkethran has the best music. Every time I enter the desert city I turn the volume higher because of the great music.

-Blades. They rock.
-Jaheira, she is the most "real" NPC
-Imoen, she is both a good mage and a decent thief (with some minor equipment such as the ring of lock picks)
-Sarevok. His voice really sounds bad-ass. But again, Jaheira has the most interesting voice. And don't forget that of Khalid (most interesting character ever) or Xan.
-BG2, because it is the most interesting and challenging. BG comes directly after.
-Lilarcor. You gotta love him. (and you gotta try the Lilarcor mod for Morrowind!)
-At low level, the Davaeorn battle was the best i ever had, especially when you had to fight the black horrors and Davaeorn at the same time.
-I was rolling on the floor laughing when i met the crazy Scimitar Thrower in the docks, and the meeting with the 3 adventurers in Abazigals lair was also super.
-I agree with Sytze, the Amkethran music is very nice. But i also like the menu-music of ToB.

-What is your favorite class Ranger/Cleric - ironskins and FoA/Crom all the way baby!
-Who is your favorite Npc There are a few. Jan and Minsc for their hilarity (closely followed by the spectator), Jaheira for the best romance and Edwin for his inward, one-dimensional, evil failing wizard stereotype. :D
-Who is the most useful Npc Jan - time trap (or timestop), mislead, backstab, backstab, backstab
-Which Npc have the coolest soundset Sarevok or Edwin
-Which of the the BG1 BG2 or Throne do you liked the most BG2. Throne was overpowered and storywise, underdeveloped. BG1 was good but the depth in BG2 takes the crown
-What items is your favorite. all the cool glowy weapons. the ones i get most use out of, ring of gaxx, cloak of non-detection
-Which end boss is the coolest(sarevok etc..) Jon, for the simple reason that i really wanted to beat him. My character wanted his soul, i wanted the power, my sister wanted the PC for her homework ;)
-Which encounter is the coolest bondari reloads is funny. the only encounter ive had to seriously reload in is the chosen of cyric from a mod, but improved battles goes in tomorrow :) ooooh, and adalon, she was a biatch to beat. aside from that........i would have to say draconis takes the cake, biscuits and any other confectionaries that might be lying around

-What is your favorite class: Ranger (a pure one, cos there aren't any nice kits out there)
-Who is your favorite Npc: Saemon Havarian (he's such an !#!&=$%&$&, u have to like him)
-Who is the most useful Npc: Edwin
-Which Npc have the coolest soundset: Edwin
-Which of the the BG1 BG2 or Throne do you liked the most: BG 1 (though it's funny being powerfull, the first levels are closer to a real PnP experience)
-What items is your favorite: Celestial Fury
-Which end boss is the coolest(sarevok etc..): Irenicus (I'm with Thrain in this)
-Which encounter is the coolest: Bhodi's lair in chapter 6 (I love it when some1 threatens me and I kick his/her a$$)
-Which combat music is the best: Combat? I like better the Waukin's promenade music. It's kind of a popular egiptian song or something like that, cos I heard it the other day while watching The Mummy (modern version).
