Halfling F/T or Human Berserker 9>Thief

Post by Klorox »

I'm going to give an evil party a try for the first time (Korgan, Viconia & Edwin). Which is a better character?

Immediate reaction is that with Korgan in the party, a second berserker is surplus to requirements, so I'd go with the Hobbit.

Better from a roleplaying perspective? All three have some excellent dialog. As for power, each is in a unique profession. But you know this.

If you want a truly evil party, however, consider getting the Valen mod. (Mod = modification, a piece of scripted code created by a player/designer, using tools furnished by Bioware.) Valen is an evil vampire you'll encounter briefly in the game as it stands. The mod lets you offer to allow her in the party, and she will usually interrupt events where choices are required to select the one that's really nasty. She's a fighter in the mod, as I recall, so would make a good firont line with Korgan.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Assassin is the true evil choice.

The Human berzerker gives you immunity to mind stuff because of Berzerk and more weapon spec. The halfling gives you HLAs a lot earlier.

I'd go human, because I like romancing vicki.

Edit- Now, if you wanted to romance Vicki and go multi, you could go Half Orc w/19 str and whomp on people. That is really evil- thug out on everyone.

I think Vicky will work with a half orc- I think she's the exception, because she won't work with an elf.

All romances work for halflings too.

My elf never had problems romancing her.

Really? I couldn't ever romance her with an elf. I thought the romanceable races were as follows:

Jaheira: Human, half elf, elf
Aerie: Human, half elf, elf, gnome
Vicky: Human, half elf, half orc

I read that in a guide or something somewhere. As for halfings, I have no idea if they work or not- I don't really like playing them.
