Best Character -- Khelgar Ironfist from Neverwinter Nights 2
Khelgar is crazy. There's really no other way to describe him. He's an exiled member of the Ironfist clan of dwarves and he's the first character players meet in the official campaign for Neverwinter Nights 2. It's immediately obvious during the first conversation what Khelgar's role is comic relief. After all, what other role could a crazy dwarf who lives for nothing but fighting fulfill? Even better, the reason he's on the road is because he wants to become a monk. It's not that he's looking for any kind of spiritual fulfillment, it's that a monk beat the stuffing out of him in a bar fight bare-handed and he wants to learn his techniques.
What makes Khelgar our best character of the year is the way he grows and changes over the course of the player's adventure. Should the player gain influence with Khelgar and help him in his quest, Khelgar will eventually grow out of his self-absorption and learn powerful lessons about why people fight and why it sometimes makes you a more powerful warrior to never fight at all. Along the way, he manages to heal some old wounds, make some unusual new friends, insult almost everyone in the Forgotten Realms and become a pretty badass warrior in the process. His story isn't the most profound or deepest we've ever seen in a video game, but it's much more compelling than most "comic relief" sidekicks ever get. Eventually, the player will take as much joy from Khelgar's successes as their own. When it came time to select a party, "Khelgar" was always the first name we picked, and we'd sincerely like to see more of his adventures.
