Well,my choice may be strange but my most hated NPC is Edwin.I cant stand his attitude (and his voice,too).

I have read a post in another site who described him as "He is a conjurer and a certified jerk".Cant say i disagree.

P.S : I tried all NPCs and their subquests,and most of them have stayed with my party for some time.

Edwin is definitley the NPC I despise the most. He is a complete and total loser, not to mention the fact that he's ugly. I think he might be gay. Check out his fingernails and look at all the piercings he has.....GROSS!

For Female:
Hmmhmmm letmethinkAERIE. Image Can't stand the whining!! Can't. And there's not enough pedaphile in me to CARE if she gets all horny for me... Image
Next, a toss-up between Nalia (So I'm POOR! I can make money. YOU'LL always SUCK!!") and Imoen. All right. You were a prisoner. You got free. You got ME free, and I thank you. But for daddy's sake, SHUT UP!

For Male:

Anomen. Useless, rude, corny, and a knight. Bye bye.

And to whoever it was that said they hated Haer'Dalis (I'm not being rude, I just honestly can't remember names...**blush**) cuz of his whistling and stuff: I can understand why you would, but I don't think we'd get along too well, cuz I do the exact same thing. Image With the possible exception of hitting on all the female party members. Image

Well, well, well, isn't this a cute voting?
To make it short, You have voted for ALL the potential party members in this game, but two: Jaheira and Korgan (one mentioned Korgie but forgive him after all cause of his spiffy scot accent).
So, the easy part is to say that Jaheira (who IMHO IS a ballbracker) and Korgan are the less hated NPCs.

As for the top of the tops, here are the results:

Aerie 6
Anomen 6
Nalia 6
Haer'Daelis 6
Cernd 5
Keldorn 4
Yoshimo 2
Edwin 2
Minsk 1
Imoen 1
Valygar 1
Viconia 1

And the rest:

Nalia's Aunt 2
Irenicus 1
Cromwell 1
Bodhi 1
Ellesime 1
Neeber 1
"You must gather..." 1


Interesting, huh? Maybe some people would like to add their votes so we can solve this?

Yes....and you know what this means.....that Jaheira is the most loved NPC overall......I knew I wasn't the only one with good taste.....

Angry one, YOU are the wicked here, not me. Image
Well, if there was a "who is the most wicked BG2 player" I would vote for all the Jaheira lovers like you Image Image

AND the guys at Bioware, for putting in the game a romance with Jaheira... Yuck!

I suppose Aerie could be annoying if you're not romancing her, but if you are I think the whining makes it more realistic, and more satisfying when you finally win her over. Mind I phrased that "win her over," NOT "her getting horny." I think Aerie's romance is one made for those who want a storybook romance, not sexual gratification Image She really won my heart. Too bad I didn't have Haer-Dalis in my party...and I lost him forever because I abandoned him after I found his gem, and he left and never turned up in that tavern (all the actors disappeared) Is he somewhere else?

Can't believe that someone actually posted a vote on Jaheira...(how could anyone sane choose her as "most hated")....only reason must have been to piss me off.....Renyu may Helm judge you for your actions and Ubik what did you mean by "Jaheira - 1 (Yes)"????

Anomen bites.

He left us at a critical moment and after spending a fair amount of time trying to level his arrogant, worthless a$$ up. Also, everytime I clicked on him, I got "what is it?" in that petulant tone. I really wish I had read the spoilers beforehand on Anomen because he was a giant waste of time.

Otherwise, any cowled wizard or character who greets me with the sneering "I am one of the chosen" yadda yadda... I enjoyed that fight with Tolgerias immensely. I wish there was some command that I could give to strangle a character slowly.

And as for Neeber: I murdered him in broad daylight.

woo. I'm feeling kinda evil lately.

Aerie drives me crazy. "Did I tell you about how I lost my wings?"...No, Aerie, and I don't want to know. Shut up"....whine, whine whine. And every time, in the middle of ****ing combat.

I also cannot stand her voice. It's like fingernails on the chalkboard to me. In my most recent game, I did the circus quest and dropped her the moment I got to the Copper Coronet ("no, no, don't go back to the circus, dearie, you need to wait right here in this bar, share a table with this nice little dwarf over here, you ought to get along REALLY well...hehehehe.....")

Nalia's warcry is annoying, but otherwise she is fine to me. Ditto with Ano and his "what is it now?" sass. I simply envision myself giving him a backhand across the jaw evertime he says it.

Aerie has got to (and did) GO!
