First of all, welcome to the GB forums, there are many awesome ppl online, I just warn you to keep your distance from the Speak your mind forums, unless you, like the majority of us, are stark raving mad too!!!


As for the ending, ya, Minsc's is pretty good, but my favourite is Keldorns! That guy rocked and I was super glad to see him taken up to continue his service to Torm.

The saddest one was Cernd. Poor guy!

You know, having read through them all, I think that the Korgan and Romanced Viconia are tied together. You vanished to get revenge on the Drow, and Korgan was battling them and disapeared, though legends persist of both of you...

Also Valygar I was happy for!

Keldorn's. I was so happy for him.

And since I haven't played the game so many times...

@ Obsidian ... what happened to Valygar?

TIA

Cheers

Jan Jansen!

Knife-wielding monkies!

I'd have to say Jan Jansen for its humour value

"When you have that many monkies anything is possible"

But I still very much liked Romanced Viconia or Sarevok for their unparalled sadness.
Or unromanced Anomen for finally becoming what he wanted to be.


My 3 most hated ends are Unromanced Aerie, Imoen and Keldorn.

I didn't like Keldorns ending at all. He had done enough for Helm and his last sacrifice shouldn't have been necessary. He had earned his place at Helms side anyway.
Aerie because its just so pathetic, Imoens because its so lame. I mean, she and the main character was unseperable. Two indestructible towers of doom!

But anyway I get really sad whenever I contemplate the endings of a story. I am such a fan for never ending stories. I mean, I am just not happy with "and they lived happily ever after". That means that I won't experience the rest of their story. I mean I felt depressed for half a week after I finished ToB just because I knew that I wouldn't get another adventure with my favorite character, the child of Bhaal.

I guess I'm in the minority, because I absolutely HATE the romanced Viconia ending. First of all, I think it's kind of stupid....just how DO you successfully poison a 30+ level cleric????? What, she didn't memorize a heal that day??? (By the end of ToB she carried SIX at a time!!)

Also, I have to assume Lolth is a grease stain on the floor of whatever abyssal plain she USED to rule as soon as this bit happens. I don't know about the rest of the Viccy romancers, but I know my 38th level Undead Hunter IMMEDIATELY re-formed his adventuring group, journeyed to the Abyss, found that big fat spider, and pulled all eight of her legs off. I mean, I may have given up my "divine spark", but I did NOT give up Carsomyr (+6)

My favorite, of course, is Jan and the knife wielding monkeys.

You know....Lloth is the queen of spiders and the best poisoner there is after Talona. A quickworking poison that confuses the mind would probally be her style against clerics.

@Cybot, Keldorn serves Torm, not helm. Anomen served Helm.

And it wasnt a bad thing being taken up, it would be an honour for Keldorn. Think about it. Keldorn is the only one of your adventuring party you could still chill with

Ya, I could see you wreaking some terrible vengeance on people who killed your friends.

As for Valygar, he settled down, become angry at the corruption in Athlatka, and became the Chief Inspector for crimes etc. He got married, had a kid, the kid later become a member of the cowled wizards and lead the redemption of the evil villains into heroes of the realms.

@ Obsidian

A fitting end for a fitting character! Thanks a lot!



Cheers
