ok so i read the artical and this is what I noticed Quote:
from the artical:
Storm of Vengeance, for instance, creates a mass of purple clouds that have a chance to slay your enemies outright. After that, the clouds turn poisonous. Then they rain down fire and acid. Then they shoot out a bit of lighting here and there, just to mop up anyone that might still be standing.

Yup, the spell just sounds cool!
I don't think it could be Elminster, just because he's involved in the storyline. You'd have to only be able pick him up if you've reached a certain point in the Jaheira romance, or if you're not romancing her at all. Since he makes an appearance in BG2, it doesn't seem logical they would allow you to have him as an NPC and then meet Terminsel. Wouldn't make sense. Maybe they'll replace Terminsel with someone else. |

The new NPC could also be Khalid, or any other. They could just have changed his portrait, as with Imoen. in BG2 you'll meet Xzar, but he should be dead... So why not Khalid or someone else? |

Well regardin that new NPC - we just have to wait (unless the info gets leaked http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/smile.gif) - for all we know, it could be anybody from Drizzt over Elminister to Gorion (wouldn't be the first time somebody gets resurected http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/smile.gif)
Actually I'd like it if Gorion comes back to help you.
But if we should take the inteview word for word - it actually says
"you may have seen him in past BG games."
So my money is on somebody that has appeared in both games, like Drizzt and/or Elminister.
Therefore I don't think it will be Irenicus |

After I saw the picture, it seems to me that it is not Irenicus nor Elminster nor DRizzit. It may be Gorion.... but I am not sure. It remembers me to Minsc......
Now, did you check the lead to the picture? It says "There's never a miniature giant space hamster around when you really need one". Stupid reference to Minsc and Boo?? Or what would it mean???? (I am just rambling)

This portrait might correspond to the new kit-the Wild Mage.But then again,most BG portraits are based on a NPC,so.. |

In one of the screenshots on that page (the one with the big fan), if you look in the lower left corner, you can see what appears to be Elminster casting a spell. Of course, given how well screenshots for these games reflect actual in-game action, this could be completely bogus, but it gives a little credence to the idea that Elminster makes an appearance (not necessarily as a controllable character, like Minsc or Imoen, more like Drizzt in Bodhi's lair).
Anyway, the idea of controlling Elminster or Drizzt (or Irenicus - I can just picture the dialog "Irenicus?! Aren't you supposed to be dead?") as a party member sort of flies in the face of, well, just about everything. |

I like to point out that Elmister image was used in the first stages of BG II during the time that the engine was being refined.
Now guess who S.A. Salvarore character show in BG I. (besides Drizzt) |

What if the new NPC will be...Ribald Barterman? Or even Saemon Havarian..! Although he looks like some kind of a mage...on the other hand, that pic doesn't have to be the face of the new NPC. The fact is that Saemon Havarian can't possibly be dead...don't know about Ribald, haven't tried to kill him. Try to think some other chars than Elminster, Irenicus or Drizzt...come on guys, you've gotta have more imagination than that http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/smile.gif |

Here's a possibility that I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned yet.
The new NPC could be Solaufein. The Drow that you help and save in Ust'Nautha. It makes sense to me, and remember that one dialogue option with him is that you offer to let him join the group. I, for one, sure wouldn't mind having him for an ally. Besides, it might make for some interesting party banter between him and Viconia.
Besides which, I saw where someone mentioned something about white hair or something? Well, Drow have white hair generally speaking.
One thing's for sure, I hope it isn't Elminster or Drizzt or something lame like that. There's more than enough mages in BG2 as it is without adding him into the mix, and I'm not the world's biggest fan of Drizzt either. Anyhow, that's my 2CP. |

How about Cadderly? Supposed to have hair if I'm not mistaken, but who knows what with the ageing and all... | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
