| | | I vote for Minsc!
Altough "Edwin do this, Edwin do that... somebody hand this jerk a banana!" makes Edwin a heal close contender

| | | I have to go with minsc. My reason simple. The scene when you introduce minsc to the pirate lord on spellhold. |

| | | My vote goes to...the writer who managed to reproduce several different styles of humor in these characters: scathing sarcasm for Edwin, fantastical whimsy for Jan, off-the-wall good humor for Minsc, creative obscenity for Korgan, dry wit for Jaheira, etc.

| | Goodness me, I started a thread just like this one on the SoA board a little while ago... 
Jan appeals to my sense of the humor the most, though I must concur with fable that every NPC (like hamsters) has his or her day. Jan probably has had the most humorous effort put into his dialogue, though, so he receives my vote.

| | @Chanak, I'm leaving them both up because the dialog is distinctive between the two original game and the add-on, and because Saverok offers new possibilities.

I'd have to say...KELSEY!!!?!
Yep. Having his merchant raising I find it hilarious how he reacts to some things.
"Trademeet is besieged by legions of animals. Oh no!!!"
and he responds
"The economy of the entire area is in trouble."
At the very least you have to say that it is a new perspective on things but is that really the worst of our problems?

| | | Minsc ... I just find him funnier, if I were to pick from BG1 it would be a throw up between Tiax, Xan, and Minsc. BG1 for all that it lacks in comparison to BG2 was much funnier in my opinion. |

| | | Speaking of funny... what happens when you put Tashia and Jan in one party...? She seems to know alot about Jan, given his absence in my party. I was quite amazed at how *knowledgable* she was, (she's *never* spoken to Jan before) and how my PC was able to refer to her quotes from Jan and identify it as one of Jan's pet phrases. Beware, your knees are mine! / (see signature)
Jan seems to be the embodiment of humour in BG2. It's always him/Keldorn, him/Minsc, him/Anomen... The men of the Order are a little excessively irascible I'd say, too easily irked by Jan's meaningless comments and tales :P I enjoy his stories, though... Jaheira seems relatively unreactive when it comes to Jan... he never bothers her, maybe because she is too serious and yet nearly impossible to annoy?

| | I have to vote for Edwin as the funniest NPC, if just for the hilarious (and quite disturbing) Nether Scroll mini-quest. Has anyone had Edwin/Edwina speak with Salvanas in the Copper Coronet? Absolutely priceless. Not to mention Minsc's confusion at Edwin's new form.
I know a lot of you voted for Jan, and he can be funny... for about five minutes, then I'm more annoyed with him than I ever got with Noober. I was sorely tempted to test out my newly acquired Chain Contingency spell on him, just for the fun of it. (I had the spellcasting license, so where's the harm?)
Minsc is hysterical, too. Mostly because he is so serious about being so stupid. I have to keep him in my party because I'm afraid of the damage he could do if left unsupervised.
I don't really find Jaheira all that witty, personally, just mean-spirited, bitter and rude. (Which is probably why my romances with her seemed to stall when I sided with Aerie in their fights. Hmmm, something to ponder, there, I guess.)
Haer'Dalis needs to stay the heck away from MY Aerie. So I backstabbed him when he left the party. (And Aerie never said a thing. Tee-Hee! I also did the same thing to Nalia's crotchety old aunt, too. Maybe I shouldn't be playing Lawful Good characters, hmmm?)  |

Funny, I never got the impression that was Minsc was stupid. To me, he just seems to be a person who lives in a separate reality from everybody else, one where innocence has never been exchanged for sophistication.

| | | Okay, maybe "stupid" was a poor choice of words. But I stand by my decision that Edwin is funnier.
Minsc does have his own sense of the world around him. It's more the reaction others have that make him seem stupid. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
