Your Top 10 NPC's of All Time!

[SteveThaiBinh]

...honestly was thinkin' hard on it, but I's always felt that Ravel was left, well, undone...jus' wasna fleshed out enuff...might not be a popular opinion, but methinks TTO was the portrayed better...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Not undone, I thought - the odd hint about her history and motivations to add depth, but not so much as to draw the focus from the impact of her two encounters with the PC.

 

Maybe we need another thread to talk about favourite non-joining NPCs?

Sulik the great from Fallout 2. What isn't there not to like? He doesn't wear a shirt, exposing those muscles of his. He carries a mean sledge hammer which he can use to knock people clear across the screen. And he's fearless.

 

Plus his lines rule! What can we and I do for you?

[Slowtrain]

I can't think of any that were particularly good or bad in any game I've played.

 

I always had a soft spot for Lenny the Ghoul in FO2. It always cracked me up when his float would say: I am the Master and you are the learner while he shot someone in the face at 10 hexes...and missed. lol.

Richard Dean Anderson was better. It was damn hard to choose top 10 of npcs and when it came down to fallout series Richard Dean Anderson wins.

[Gabrielle]

Anderson was alright. I liked the voice talents of Micheal Dorn, Tony Jay, David Warner and Kath Soucie

It's alright. Insanity is another form of genius right?

 

 

That Aerie is something else as an NOC and one you can romance. I like Viconia, I have a soft spot for drow but Aerie is sweet, while Viconia is forbidden fruit.

[Jorian Drake]

Nym for president.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I like Nym, the drow 'merchant' too

[Llyranor]

Wait, I forgot Aeris! Aeris dies! I cried for a week!

 

Man, that was hot. I mean, deep. I cried for a week!

[metadigital]

Floyd!:'(

[alanschu]

I like the mop and bucket!

 

 

Since you mentioned Daedelus, I also liked Alex Jacobsen.

[CoM_Solaufein]

Tandi :ph34r:

[Hurlshort]

I had totally forgotten Star Control 2. There were some great characters in that game. I remember the ugly race that constantly spewed insults at you in particular.

[J.E. Sawyer]

Saduj - Ultima V

Skullcrusher - Pool of Radiance

[~Di]

Haven't read this thread yet, but my favorites as far as well-drawn and fascinating characters, in no real order:

 

Ravel (PS:T)

Morte(PS:T)

Jolee Bindo (KoTOR)

HK 47 (KoTOR) ... just for the fun factor, actually, since he wasn't

terribly complex!

Kreia (KoTOR2)

Sly (Anachronox)

Irenicus (BG2) ...best damned villain evar, lol

Dynaheir a wonderful mage.

I like her soundset, which I use for BG or my IWD games.

[Magnum Opus]

1. Ravel (Torment). Easy first choice.

 

And for the rest... not necessarily in order:

 

2. The Master (FO1). Found him/her/them quite disturbing at the time. And the second time, now that I think about it...

 

3. The Guardian (Ultima 7, SI, 9). Good villain.

 

4. Nordom (Torment)

 

5. Korax the Ghoul (BG1: You look veeeery tasty today... ). A little addled, but fun.

 

6. Sulik (FO2). Like every other joinable in that series, incompetent to the point of being detrimental in combat, but a character with a fun hook nonetheless. Go grampy bone!!

 

7. Rakeesh (QfG series)... with a nod to Ad Avis.

 

8. Dupre (Ultima). Most of the characters in that series were defined in imagination almost as much as by the game until the last installation, but SI... *nods*

 

9. Morte (Torment)

 

10. The Luremaster (IWD - TotL).

Oh yeah I like her sounds. I usually rip them from the PST folder and use them in a better game like Baldur's Gate. Either use them as a custom sound for your character or use them for a non-joinable npc. I do the same thing with Annah as well.
