The title says it all. Which, out of all NPCS, is your favorite and why?

I'd have to toss up between Rurik and Pyre.

Pyre is brilliant, he's focused, a great leader, tactical, knows how to get things done, he doesn't leave loose ends (e.g. kills his prisoners 'cos they might rebel one day) and he does see a brighter future for the Charr. He's also trustworthy and doesn't hate humans in an irrational way. He knows what the Charr are capable of and is proud of it. He's also got some of the best lines in EOTN. the way that Gwen always opposes him is very annoying when he actually respects her for her power and is happy to let her deal with his prisoners.

and Rurik. Despite many people hating him you've got to agree that he is really the only true hero in Prophecies. He sacrifices his life for his people and even leaves his homeland to find a better life for them. Him and Pyre are actually quite similar, although I'm sure he'd hate to hear it. They're both focused leaders with a utopian vision of the future for their people and he knows how to act as a symbol for hope and victory in tough times.

What would have happened in prophecies had Rurik lived into Kryta? Probably we would have stayed to help the White Mantle fight the undead and the mursatt would have never been wiped out, the titans never unleashed and all in all everything would have been more peaceful.

So, who is your favorite NPC in GW?

The first one that comes to my mind is fatass ... I mean Norgu.
The problem is that I THINK there is a character I prefer, I just can't put my finger on it!


edit:
Ohh, ohh, ohh - Lukas Vasburg!
That one might be it!

I personally love the little Gwen... Just cause she is fearless standing outside of Ascalon without any guards, when all of those Scales and Grawls are just roaming around the area...

She just seemed adorable to me...

But the mature Gwen rocks as well...

I'd say the Vizier/Lich

He is just so much better then all the other badies, and looks so much more cool. Plus his army of Titan is awsome.

I like Lord Jadoth. He's a 35 foot tall Margonite, he says "Hrrrrrrrk" and he's incredibly snuggly and fluffy. I even named my Oblivion character after him. What's not to love about a big cuddly Margonite??

Probably Rurick. Though his antics could get annoying, he was true blue and never snippy.

On the flipside, the list of surly NPCs I'd like to smack is endless.

wow, by far...



the most sneaky character, ultimate espionage, full of the information WE WANNA KNOW about GWs....


V A E L.


that guy has all the answers, has seen it all, been right there along with us in ever battle, and yet, continues to stay in hiding.

Quote:
Vael claims that Vael isn't his real name, Captain Langmar confirms his name as "Nathanael", which he in turn denies as an alias to the Ebon Vanguard. His knowledge of the player's deeds, along with his visual similarity, has led some players to suspect that he is actually Captain Osric from the Prophecies campaign.
He also claims to have been there when Prince Rurik died, and had to announce his death to King Adelbern, and Osric has been known to be a close friend of Rurik.
Vael also claims to be a veteran of the Tengu Wars in Cantha and has been to Vabbi, placing him on three different continents.

I cannot pick one, cos I like them all, including the evil ones and all the monsters, except afflicted ritualist, yuck!

wow, I have to come back to this one, its long .... they each have their own characteristic. but if i am to pick now, someone to go to war with, I pick Aidan, observe what he says and you know why I pick him.

I would not pick Herta to battle with, you cannot turn your back or trust her with you life, you'll die, because she'll be checking on her reflection in the water or secretly bringing a mirror, while you get clobber by monsters, she'd be complaining that Komir had trick her into joining the war ...

The three heros that I really really like are Olias, Master of Whisper and Livia... they have the best quotes.

"Let me whisper my name to you as you die..."

Oddly enough, King Adelbern is looking more and more to be a Hero. (I hated this guy in Prophecy, but then, I never made it to the Titan quest...)

OK...I'll say it then: Oink!

Playing through Prophecies the first time on the road to Lion's Arch I discovered the perky porcine pet and clicked on him for kicks...turns out he was an awesome little tank...I remember the party being nearly wiped, but the little pig kept on fighting...the chat was filled with "All hail the mighty piglet!" and "Go, Oink, go!!" It was one of those moments when you really knew the devs were having fun creating the game...I've had several warthog pets since...

Rurik, unquestionably. Yay, Rurik!!

I also got a charge out of The Great Zehtuka (spelling?), the full-of-himself hunter in Nightfall.

I like most of the henches and heroes. "Little" Thom and all his complaining about snow in his shoes... You gotta love that. Lukas and his arrogance... Olias with his cheerful demeanor...

Most annoying hench has got to be Danika. Not only is she a poor healer but she has the most annoying voice ever.

I'd say Shiro. The sort of shadowed personality, the insanity of his mind, the nearly blind decision to kill the emperor, the fight for his own mortality. I dunno, I just like that. He is teh P-I-M-P.

I liked Evennia a lot when I first played Prophecies. She was a rebel and she had some pretty nice armor too :P

However, since playing through Factions I have come to enjoy Palawa Joko. An evil, yet funny, Undead King. I'm looking forward to seeing him in the Bonus Mission Pack.
