Sarevok is gonna kick ass

Remove all ads!

With Sarevok as a NPC it is chanching my whole few on evil party's. OK, Edwin maybe the best mage in the game and Korgan one of the best tanks but besides that there wasn't really any proper evil party material. I'm actually thinking of playing next time with an evil party (never done that before!!!) and all because of Sarevok. Just looking at his stats makes you wishing he was good. (For those of you who haven't seen his stats: Str: 18/00
Dex: 17
Con: 18
Int: 15
Wis: 10
Cha: 15)

So are there more of ye who gonna play evil next time with Sarevok in your party??

I only hope you can take Sarevok with you in Chapter 2 just like all the other NPC's

 

MAN!

Sarevok really kicks some serious butt. I'm gonna buy ToB just because this guy!

He's dangerous!!!

 

If I ever get ToB I'm asuring you that I'm not letting that egoistic prick in my party no matter his stats!

I'm about to play my role, not powergaming.

 

Haha, go play with your barbie-dolls then, Extremist!

 

Sarevok does indeed look robust, no doubt. And some of his bhallspawn-only special abilities will be *very* powerful. I´d bet he´ll be proficient in two-handed swords. However, I have an emotional sentiment aginst this guy.

It´s just like with yoshimo - traps or not he´s a traitor - and for me Sarevok remains to be an evil bastard slaying thousands for fun. And after beeing stopped in his ambitions once by my char, I can hardly imagine him volunteering to follow me and he wouldn´t change for me either.

The only interesting thing about Sarevok is that he´ll probably have cool sounds and conversations.

 

Da punisher, that's the most brilliant idea I've heard in last two months!

Only, will you please give them back to me? Last time you almost killed me when I tried to get them.

 

I missed out on BG1, so I don't really have an emotional bias toward Saervok.

However, I'm guessing they are going to develop a beautiful and compelling script that explains why he would be joinging the party. From a sheer roll-playing perspective, I think they will make it very hard to pass him up.

 

Stats Stats!!!!
Those are rubbish stats my fighters for a start would nearly always have 19 strength 18 dexterity and 19 constitution. (race is not the issue)

Anyway my Paladin has
str:19
Dex:19
Cons:13
Int:13
Wis:21
cha:19
Sarevock is just another let down. I would not bother with him in my party and your main characters must be REALLY crap whatever class they are if you think he is good!!

 

I'm looking forward to seeing him again.
But he won't be joining my party, he'll be getting his ass kicked.

 

Avooch how did you do that? do u cheat?

 

Allow me to defend Your Mighty paladin Sir Dargorn:

he just read all the Tomes in BG1. One of the bonusses to import a Bg1 PC.

 

Nobleman, that's one nice BI customer support. If you wanna get boost, buy all their games.

Thank god I bought BG1 before, but what about others who didn't? This is forcing people to do something, don't you think? I hate 'em.

 

No those stats can be valid. I have a Druid started in BG which rolled up 98 points and after reading all 8(!) tomes he had 106 points going into BG2.

Sarevok's stats total 93 then. That's the best of all NPC's and it should be compared to NPC's and not the protagonist. The protagonist can have better stats, especially if he's been through BG/TotSC, but Sarevok is not the protagonist.

I think it's nice that evil parties get another NPC.

Antoine!
Don't forget Viconia, arguably the best cleric in BG2.

How about Sarevok's alignment aye?

a.) Lawful evil?
b.) Neutral evil?
c.) Chaotic evil - I surely would vote for "c"

I agree, stats like Avooch´s indeed can be valid. IIRC my best roll ever was about basic 99 in BG-1. Consuming the tomes it was raised by another 6 points to 105 (I didn´t want to increase strength ).

Yesterday I looked over my old chars from BG-1 and found my old pal Brogomil (halfling thief):

str-18-0 (originally: 17)
dex-20 (originally: 19) => for the thieving abilities
con-16 (originally: 15)
int: 14 (originally: 13) => lore and pride
wis: 18 (originally: 16) => good st vs. spells and lore
char: 10 (originally: 9)

totalling basic 89 and final 96 points.

No stat point wasted , so, if there is something to critisize about Avoch´s char it is that con´s too low, wis too high (no more saving throw boni beyond 18 and no extra spells) but these are just my thoughts

To TIN_MAN: he is indeed chaotic evil

To Earl Grey: Anomen is the best cleric and not Viconia and you calculated him at 93? Either you must be miss calculating or I made a mistake because it is 95.

WOOPS, I made a mistake with his INT or WIS I guess one of those two should be two points higher but I can remember which one

To Avooch: My main character aren't crap, he just amazes me because he is the best NPC

You are right E! In Your usaul preculiar way. Buy all our games and be stronge. hehe I bet You a buck that many uses this as an excuse to raise their stats with SK though. Are you gonna cry now?

[This message has been edited by Nobleman (edited June 07, 2001).]

 

Me? Cry? No.

I'm right now trying something, and if that gets to work that will end SK career permanently.

 

OK i looked it up and these are Sarevok's actual stats (for those interested):
STR 18/00
DEX 17
CON 18
INT 17 (whatever that may be good for with a fighter??)
WIS 10
CHA 15

TOTAL 95

Intelligence is very important for a fighter, you amateur!
You can use protection scrolls if you have high intelligence and you can beat those nasty illithid and ulitharids with high intelligence. And ofcourse you know a couple of languages, so you can order dinner in every restaurant, even when it isn't in Amn!
