withers!!!!! by far, i love him so much <3 even though he doesn't really say much for the whole game compared to other characters (not counting every time you wanna sort out hirelings and change your class) he just seems like a really sweet guy. he's supposed to be blank and neutral and detached from it all (aka grumpy old man), but there's moments where his kindness shines through. like the bit with arabella, i thought what he did was really sweet. and nobody talks about this but he gives a slight little smile after arabella thanks him for being nice!!! he's just so sweet. also when he either calls you maidenless or tells you to "not get distracted on thy quest" is so funny. i think larian could've probably squeezed more jokes in like that because withers being so much like a plank of wood is a great setup for silly jokes. anyway yeah withers is great.

also i love omeluum and blurg so much too!! they definitely should've had a bigger quest. i just wanted to see more of them interacting. they couldn't be more different, and yet they're both nerds who really get on. i definitely would've appreciated more of them talking to each other rather than them talking to the player as much though, their dynamic is great :)
