**** that guy
I really liked Aerie and Viconia, too. It's odd, because I know a lot of people who really hate Aerie (or rather, the fact that she's always so doe-eyed and innocent) The only people I didn't like in BG2 were Edwin and that Bloodaxe dwarf guy. As far as BG1 went, they were all just sets of stats to me Khalid was never, ever in my party. 15 strength on a fighter? That's even more stupid than a mid-level intelligence on a mage (ie Aerie)

At least Aerie had an excuse in that she was only part mage. Although to be honest the only stat that really mattered was consitution.
High Strength isn't important if you have the bag of holding or extra party members.
High Dexterity gives you a few extra AC, but you'll still end up getting hit anyway.
High Intelligence/Wisdom gets you a few extra low level spells.
High Charisma gets you better prices in stores, but you get an 18 charisma ring two steps from the starting dungeon.
It's not like NWN where casters require high intelligence, or fighters need a high dex to effectively dual wield.
