What do you guys think the most fun and interesting class is? Why?

I think the bard is prett fun, because of the ability to do so many things.

Well for Me it has to be the thief and just a plan old theif I like the chance to scout out ahead and do the back stab thing as well. You get the chance to get things a normal player might not like pickpocket and open locks. I tend to think if it is not nailed down I might as well borrow it for a while.

Right now, I'd have to say a Blade (bard kit) is the most fun I've had. He's been the main tank alongside Jaheira for the better part of SoA. Very versatile and so many strategy options.

A close runner up was the Cleric of Helm dualled to a mage. Lots of spell options and the Helm kit abilities really fit in well to the character.

Blade most definately.
Ever since I started playing the Blade, I changed from hack-and-slash power gamer to a strategist and a roleplayer. Playing a Blade made my use my brain by constantly utilizing different tactics and strategies.
Second runner up has to be the inquisitor. I basically slaughtered Irenicus with my inquisitor protagonist alone! Their dispel magics are very formidable and they make the best mage killers.

I was thinking that I have the most fun playing a fighter type, because I enjoy being the tough guy who hacks things to pieces.
I find that the most interesting class is the mage, however, because of all the spells available.
Hmmm, maybe I should try a Blade too, seems like a good combination of fighting and spellcasting!

Dwarf fighter I thought was a lot of fun. Not sure why though...

I love the plain ol mage. I love contigencies and spell trigggers. It's really fun to use cool strategies to beat opponents. You actually feel like u earn your intelligence score. I love chain contigency: mislead, project image x 2. Then have them cast simulacrum and you have an army of bhaalspawn that would make Bhaal cower in fear.

Better make that two Greater Whirlwinds in between Time Stops, or you will come out of Time Stop.

Wouldn't want to give your enemies a chance to actually do something while you are killing them, right? Much less have them interrupting your long casting time Time Stop.

Those are killers.

Bit cheesy, though, since you're not supposed to be able to control more than one Project Image at the same time. Nobody said anything about hordes of Simulacra, though.

@Xyx

Three Timestops are perfectly legitimate if you have a Timestop scroll tucked up your sleeve.

Is it fun? Well, that's a subjective matter. Personally, it gives me the satisfaction of beating the game efficiently as possible rather than reload after reload.

Uhh... I meant, since you only get three rounds with Time Stop (not six like the manual claims), you have to cast your next Time Stop in the third round or you will come out of it.
