(oh goody a new poll!)
A lot of people have been suggesting / demanding / discussing the return of BG1 NPCs to BG2:EE.
I think the general consensus is that it's NOT HAPPENING, but still, would be nice, am I right?
I added all the NPCs who have no presence in BG2 - so as to not conflict with Beamdog's contract to not change what's already there.
For me? Toss up between Eldoth, Shar-Teel and Skie.
Eldoth - an evil ba(sta)rd? Yes please
Shar-Teel - an evil fighter who can dual to thief? Yes please
Skie - a true class neutral thief? Yes please
There are a few issues though;
There are already a lot of 'healers' so Branwen and Yeslick are somewhat moot
There are already a lot of 'hitters' so Kivan and Shar-Teel are somewhat moot
Kagain has pretty much been replaced by Korgan
Skie would be an inferior (although more permanent) Yoshimo
And Alora (to a lesser extent Xan and Eldoth) suffer from bad stats in comparison to their BG2 counterparts
