    The dog rocks, I wish I you could name him. It'd have to be some mean name though, cuz he is beating down those enemies fast and hard! :smile: My dog currently has 20 in str and 5 in dodging and melee, both on expert(at the cost of -1 follower, but what the heck..)

    Under the worst followers I put the dwarven mage (cant remember name). He's in Quentara(Can't remember spelling either, hehe). Heres some reasons...


    1.) He starts with a staff and does like 1-4 damages when you get him there isn't alot of places to get weapons so basicly your stuck for awhile with that. Now this staff also has a speed of like 32, add that with a low melee skill, and you get more critical fails then your char's had in the whole game.

    2.) Then theres his magics. I mean he's a mage so you figure he'd make up for his lack in melee with some kick ass magics to back his ass up, right? Wrong. Imagine a lvl 28 dwarf verses 2 lvl 10 guards. Childs play, right? Wrong. He summons a Fire elemental to battle them, but theres one problem it cost him 100 fatigue. After a few hits from the guards his remaining fatigue is gone and his great fire weapon is gone. I acually did this. Of course he didn't die (I saved the day), but what a wuss.

    3.) He's very weak, so turning him into a mule is a bad idea.

    Well thats all. For my fav's I'd go with Virgil or Raven. Their voice-overs are great!

    Worthless Mutt is by far the best NPC because:

    1.) He doesn't take up an NPC slot.
    2.) He does insane damage.
    3.) When he attacks, the player gets the experience from it.

    As for the worst NPC, I wouldn't know. I really don't get a lot of NPCs because I haven't tried a high charisma character yet.

    If i could name him, I'd call him Dogmeat 2 =)

    I don't like Magnus
    But I love Sogg Head Mead, he's a drunkard lol, and he also deals kickbutt damage with good weapons.

    Geoffrey Tarrelond-Ashe's voice over I like, it's so slappable. I wanna reach in the game and wack him. lol

    Gotta love Dogmeat. Yes, he's Dogmeat, dammit. You know it's Dogmeat.

    The Soggster and Loghaire are my other two ass kickers...not counting the mage boys and techies if I can get them...

    Go Worthless Mutt! Fly on the wings of courage!

    Worthless Mutt both ownz ur b0n3z and r0x0rz ur b0x0rz. He is /definitely/ my favourite follower, if only by virtue of being Dogmeat's spiritual successor.

    As for followers I really dislike, I can't really say there are any. Jorumund is least effective and Geoffrey is most annoying, but they're both interesting enough in their comparative reclusiveness that I can't really hold it against either of them.

    Side note: Worthless Mutt /doesn't/ take a follower slot? Carp-o-Carp. That means I have one slot left with my diplomat elf and the only character currently available for pick-up that I'm not certain will reject me is Vollinger - and he's an evil techie. Most unfortunate

    VIrgil is handy as an alternate target cuz he heals himself, plus he doesn't care if you're evil or not until AFTER he dies in Caladon.

    Raven is cool but way to restrively good- not good for thiefely characters.

    Jayna is useless.

    There's a techie adventurer in BLack ROot, I forget his name, something Payne I think, who's really useful. Too bad he doesn't show up until late in the game- he comes with an elephant gun :razz:

    ANyone in the VOid is useless- the final battle ends REALLY quickly with NO DAMAGE if you've got good ole Dread Armor on people. Plus they won't let you give them armor or weapons.

    Magnus is fun for a techie character.

    Once again, Jayna is useless.

    When you get to Ashbury you have to hurry cuz otherwise the stupid gnome will kick him to death.

    keeping evil char's

    to keep the evil npc's in the game, just use the dark helm to adjust your magic level,+20, and also your evil,-20,. it is also good when your magic armor starts to lose its protection. keep the helm in your box and use it whenever your or your non tech followers magic gets low.

    One of the worst followers would be Franklin Payne. He has only 7ST, which he won't develop, and his own equip is Elephant gun which requires ST8. Good I was able to make a Looking Glass Rifle for him.

    atleast he says funny things but it's kind of silly, having a gun which requires more strengh than he has, I mean didn't he notice that it would be hard hiving to kill those trolls or giants from his story with his bare hands with 7 str?
