Least recruited npcs

Hey guy's what's up? Just wondering who is the npc that you guys rarely if ever pick up?
Personally I hardly ever pick up Cernd (but I hear he's kinda good if he's rebalanced). I also never pick up Nalia. She's just an Immy rip-off!!
Anyone care to add?


Oh and if I don't hear from you guys, Merry Christmas to everyone!

 

Edwin, Viconia, Haer, Cernd, Mazzy, Yoshimo, Anomen, and Valygar, I never use any of them.

Except I've been thinking about doing an evil party.

And in my currant game I am using Viconia.

 

I myself have never, ever used Mazzy she seems too weak for me, ive herd she is a pretty good archer but i always have some one to fill that position.

I agree that Nalia is an Imoen rip off so i never use her.

SPOLIER ABOUT YOSHIMO

After the first time i played i never used Yoshi because of the whole betrayal thing.

I also find Minsc and Jaheira quite useless.

 

Cernd, never liked druids, sure they have some interesting disabling spells but I usually whack things to death. His greater werewolf is impressive but loses its appeal in a mage battle.

 

Viconia, Edwin, Korgan. Can't do evil.

Nalia. Yup, that's about it.

 

Not taking edwin ?? He is the best mage in the game :S Even if you are going good, just dont get your rep to high before you are back from the underdark. After that Edwin will complain, but wont leave and you can still be goodie goodie..

I dont use cernd, nalia, yoshimo, mazzy, valygar at all. If I have to choose between imoen and jan, I usually go for jan, imoens thief skills are just crap.

 

@Bernanthalin.
Do you just always play the same party all the time?

I think those of you who leave out the evil-doers miss out big time.
Korgan- best fighter (except maybe keldorn), but he can grand master.
Viconia- best cleric and highest wisdom. Give her the crom fayer and your flying.
Edwin- best spell-chucker in the game bar none unless you want divine spells aswell in which case aerie is the best choice but she has limited intelligence.

Woo hoo I got my lynx-eye baby!!

 

Any magic-user in general, except for Cernd
I don't like arcane casters...

 

People who I never have in my group would be Aerie and Cernd. Even though I have completed the game many times I have never used them NCP's.

 

Since I dont remember all of the ones I haven´t used I´ll just post the ones I´ve used

Minsc - Always in party
Jaheira - Always in party
Aerie - Always in party
Nalia - Always in party
Imoen - When available in party.

Also, the first few times I played I tried Valygar, Keldorn and Yoshimo out and that´s about it.

You might think I´m a m0r0n, and maybe I am But I still like that party even after I´ve used it about 50 times. And IMO it´s an allright party.

 

Duke, did you find that you had too many wizards, or is that a good strategy?

I'm trying to figure out a good ratio of character types.

 

Never take Edwin.

Rarely take Cernd, Mazzy, Aerie and Valygar.

 

Never used Viconia - Can't handle the rep hit.
Kick Minsc as soon as - Don't like his style.
Never use Mazzy - Too attached to party by the time I get her.
Never use Edwin - Annoys me + I'm usually a spell-chucker.

I should really try and use those chars.

My Favourite bunch:- Keldorn, Korgan, Jan, Haer'Dalis, Anomen.

Strangely enough an all male party...male bonding and no female whinging.

 

Mazzy -she is just plain annoying.
Anomen -he falls to the same category as Mazzy: "thanks, but no thanks."
Cernd -I would, but his warcries just sound so banal that I doubt my ears could stand them for very long.
Edwin -heard that he is pretty good, and I find his comments rather amusing, but still I have never taken him to my party. Probably because Minsc is always in my party.
Haer'Dalis -not very much of use, and since Aerie is , like Minsc, always in my party...

 

I only ever use Valygar in the Planar Sphere.

I never use Cernd or Mazzy, mainly because they are so far away.

I always use all the mages just to get them to scribe scrolls and get the experience.

 

Not really, I occasionally switch it up.

It's just that I know which charecters I like and which I don't.

I've done all the missions for everyone so it's not like I am missing anything.

I find Edwin really annoying.

 

I never understood playing with the same party. Every time I play a new game I always try to change my party around

 

Never ever take Cernd for long or Jaheira anymore - I can't seem to kill her romance.

 

These would be the NPC's who are the hardest or most bothersome to find. They also just happen to be the strongest too though...
Valygar, Mazzy, Edwin, Keldorn, and Haer Dalis.
The only one who seems to be the exception is Imoen.

 

Frequently used NPC's from most to least.

Imoen in every game to date, not sure why probably cause she's a Bhaalspawn (I don't think of her as a sister, at least not biologicaly) and also she's a good enough to be the only thief and she makes a nice mage so she leaves room for more NPC's

Anomen - F/C nuff' said

Keldorn - Mage's worst nightmare

Haer - he's a Blade and has special resistances and can get ** in short and long sword.

I'd post more but I'm feeling too lazy.
