They should have added Korgan Bloodaxe

[Zarek]

Disclaimer: Adding a character into the plot, and recording interactions with other characters, etc would be a massive pain and unrealistic at this point most likely. But it just hit me How many different complaints/critiques i've seen that he would have been an answer to all at once.

1.) Short Companion: now we have a dwarf
2.) Evil being hilariously under served: Korgan is a great evil party member.
3.) BG2 ties - He'd still be alive (dwarves make it about 300 years, and he was upper middle age), Could go with Old Man Korgan for a laugh.
4.) A Male front liner with high strength
5.) I don't see a need for him to be romanceable, so just dont have him be, He wasnt in the original. A companion that doesn't hit on the player ever.

*Edit* Understanding im not sincerely saying they should do this, and just discussing a what if they did scenario - it would be fun to see/discuss how he would fit in or any other complaints he'd be a nice solve for.

I second this!

An evil dwarf is better than no dwarf imo

I wished they would add one or two more companions unique to an evil route. You are losing three companions in order to get Minthara.

There are numerous characters in game could have been potential companions.

Z'rell, Dolor, Nere, Viconia Devir to name some characters. I wouldn't mind getting Korgan if it was possible.

Or someone like him. Korgan was legit.

I'd only want Korgan if you could romance him. Why wouldn't you want him to hit on you?

tiax the mighty laughs at your bewildering lack of schooling. tiax the mighty would like you to repent.

korgan punts tiax the mighty into the river.

korgan bloodaxe wins.

I wouldn't mind Korgan, though I think I'd rather have a Duergar. They were also an illithid slave race, and they're a bit more talkative than the Githyanki. I think they would offer an interesting perspective on the plot.

Unfortunately, the Duergar you meet already serve the Absolute. They're also written as a standard dwarven clan, while Duergar family relations are supposed to be an inversion of standard dwarven clan structure. I.e. Byzantine politics with family members going after each other like the Borgias.

I liked the wrex's, whirlwinds, HKs of the past that were just there money/fun/murderhoboing. One off-color character that had hilariously inappropriate dialogue. While I think player sexual is nice for a slight majority of characters, as a whole party thing I find it somewhere between bland and mildly irritating. If he were to be romanceable, id want it to be explicitly short race females since that follows his BG proclivities, but I doubt theyd limit it like that. However, Im hoping not stir up that full argument here, Id just say that my proposal was to maximize addressing complaints, and having one character not hitting on you would be a small token towards addressing that one.

Oh id certainly like one more villain to round it out. And I know they have some written characters already thatd be great adds, BUt addressing maximum complaints in once NPC he'd be hard to beat!
