Xan, Xzar, and Edwin have the best soundsets...

Edwin is obviously the best mage ever, but his inability to comprehend the "Identify" spell kind of holds him back...

I think Xan had the funniest dialogues of anyone "We're all doomed...", "What-ever...", "If you want..." Oh god just thinking of his voice makes me laugh... and the dialogue when you meet him or kick him out of the party... :D :rolleyes: ;) :cool:

I'd have to say Edwin and Dynaheir. :)

Xan made me ill. But that's just me, by all means please don't thing I'm critcizing anyone's choice, I'd just have rather had Garrick than Xan -- which should be a clear indicator of what I think of him! ;)

Identify is nice, as is Detect Invisibility and True Seeing, not to mention Wizard Eye, but...others can do True Seeing, and Edwin /can/ learn Glitterdust, which aside from revealing invisible folks also could blind the enemy. :) Edwin is just too cool, sadly, I tend to play good parties...so he can't always be there. Also, he has some of the /best/ dialog... 'Edwin do this, Edwin do that, someone get this simian a banana...'

Dynaheir was fun for the sheer damage dealing she was capable of, and she was rather pleasant too. Friendly, and all that, so long as rep was high. :)

Edwin Edwin al the way!!!!!

he's the best great spells, and a whole lot of them too :D
ad hee's funny, him changing into Edwina was the funniest thing i ever seen in a game :D :D :D

only thing is that he is evil but i always have him in any party.

Now i started a new game with only my ( a female Fighter/Thief) and Edwin.
i Just want to see if that will work.
Any comments about a 2 Party Game????

Dynaheir... very good mage and not a big fat antisocial ego like Edwin. Edwin can't use indentify-srolls!!
