Yes, unlike the other Char. thread, here you get to post your favorite character! just make sure to add the reason why he is your favorite character and wht weapon/attack do you like from him.

my favorite character is ysuarn. He can summo up a skeletal ally, he can do various charms, and he has spells. i like magic-users.

I'd say the Necromancer.
But, Dorn is really awesome looking.

I think my first time through I will try Allessia.

Doing the lord's work - kill them all!

Why couldn't they keep the characters from BGDA and add the new ones? I really liked the Human, and the Elf. In this game, I like the Human Barbarian, and the Necromancer.

I'm partial to the happy little dwarf rogue (for single player games), he's got a lot of tools at his disposal. Plus, I get a lot of joy from dropping a satchel smoke bomb and watching creatures explode hehe.

Using the multishot up close is also a fun way to see some nice damage numbers.

i like the barbarion cause of the strength

My fav is probaly Drizzt he cool n i like his weapon(SICK!!!)

Ysuran.

I have him at level 40 now, and all his feats maxed out. Unstoppable. It isnt any fun to use him in a 2 player game, as everything is dead before my friend gets to even hit anyone.

I like Borador as well. His hail of bolts and smokepowder arrow feats are pretty cool if you have a kickass crossbow built.

Borador so far because of Forge Lore, which makes it so I can fool around with the workshop a lot more. I spend all my time making building up money and then just messing around and making awesome equipment.

Yep, Ysuran has the same ability as forge lore, its just a different name. Pretty cool when you get it all the way up to a 75% cost decrease.

Me and my friend were playing and any time he needed a weapon built, he would buy it, and drop it, and tell me what he wanted on it so we didnt have to pay so much of our gold to build his weapon. He was using the Dark Elf Monk, and I built him a set of chainmail gloves that caused ice and fire damage both.

I've always had a thing with Monks, espeically in the BG games for PC, so I started right away with the Monk. She's pretty nifty up till now, but I can't wait to try the other ones too.

I like Dorn and Ysuran. They should have made the old characters available after you beat the game. I used to love using hail of arrows to obliterate opponents.

Yeah, Hail of arrows was sweet. I just hated how fast it went through my stockpile of arrows in the first game. Im really glad you dont have to purchase and carry arrows in this game.

Borador has something similar, called Hail of Bolts. It only works with a crossbow, but he also sends 6 arrows out and annihilates anything unfortunate enough to be in the way.

Hail of Bolts / Arrows is just the Diablo 2 skill Multishot with a different name. In that game, you could have 28 arrows maximum with each shot (I'm pretty sure). It only used 1 arrow, I believe, but it was like a dense web of arrows which could slaughter groups with ease. I prefered the Strafe skill, though, which forced you to stand in one place and very rapidly shoot arrows at different enemies, one extra shot per level, as each arrow was almost guaranteed a hit.

Hail of bolts is a good skill, but not at long range. It costs too much magic to only have one or two bolts hit, it's only cost effective if they all hit, so it's best as a very close range (melee range) skill.
