What's your favorite crpg NPC character?

Recruitable - Dak'kon... I felt for the feller...

Non-recruitable - I really like the leader of the anarchs in Vampire bloodlines. Maybe Killian from FO

If you had to choose one companion for all time, wouldn't the wry floating skull be the most interesting?

No way.

I want a flying burning insane guy that lobs fireballs and casts magic

:shock: I want to be him.

Yeah but, he'd kill you.

So, that would sorta contradict the point of the question, no?
 
I'm sitting here waving my "I love Edwin" flag. Although Edwina was even better. :P

Apart from him, PS:T is definately the winner. Walking down the street with a floating skull, an enslaved Githzerai, a mechanical cube with sentient crossbows, a lawful neutral succubus and someone with a portal to the plane of fire inside him is definately an unique experience.
 
You're talking about good NPCs in CRPGs, and no-one mentions the characters in Anachronox? Grumpos is awesome, who wouldn't want an old, jammering man in their party?

Another game that had great NPCs was Stonekeep. Karzak was a barrel of laughs as the surly dwarf who hated cuteness...and then you go prancing around the fairy realm with him in tow.

Oh god, you're right. How could I have forgotten Anachronox. The world that "shrunk itself" was easily the best part of ANY game I've played. Sigh, I need to go back and beat the game.
 
Well, as for non recruitables, I'll go with the majority and say that the Master was the best. I really felt my stomach turning when I first encountered him. And that awesome speech "Master! MASTER!" really made him remarkable.
I'd give Lou-Tenant a 2nd place (heh, he sounded really regal for a supermutant) and Set a 3rd. I once read in an article here that Set's speech was the product of the imagination of someone who really liked to play around with language ("makes my shadow grow" was a damn remarkable line).
 
I have always been partial to bad guy style characters.
Set, kind of a bad guy.
Harry the Mutant of course. (being an idiot he lacked substance)
Irenicus was an awesome bad guy in my opinion, though in the end was very weak.
