Depends on whether or not they can use their deity's favored weapon. For example, had Anomen the ability, he could use a bastard sword since that was Helm's favored weapon. But I don't think that trait was introduced at this time.
Yh Beamdog's writing was terrible. Havne't played Dragonspear but the 'banter' with the new characters was like listening to some Dragon age fanfic shit. Terrible. Souless. Lacking any real character. Hearing Viconia and Edwin talk in new 'Enchaned' Edtion characters had me actually cringing.
I don't hate Beamdog's characters as I think it's cool to have new ones included, but they weren't on the same level as the original writing team and sometimes yes, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Neera for instance just seems like she was cobbled together from whiney hyper-SJW livejournal chicks and that is coming from someone who is pretty damn left and bordering on Chomskian anarchy in his belief system.
@@ZeroMalarki Lmao, anarchy is on the right. It's not leftist and to even suggest otherwise is propaganda of the lowest order. Totalitarianism (socialism) is hardcore leftism. The staunch right is anarchy (libertarianism). That being said, yes, the new writing was shit.
@@Archedgar I think there's a few different thoughts about anarchy. There's a anarcho capitalism which I think is fucking terrifying on the right and there are more anarcho communist movements I can sort of get behind but I have some reservations about. Chomsky is almost universally regarded as left and wrote a book on the pros of anarchy. I think you might be wise to have a gander at it
@@Archedgar You are very confused. - ultra right wing Nazi Germany was equally as totalitarian as Mao's China or Stalin's Russia... totalitarianism isn't a spectrum-dependent concept - the 'libertarian' label has application on both the far left and far right, e.g. 'anarcho-libertarianism' is left wing - 'anarchism' is similarly a dual-wing label, with (e.g.) 'anarcho-capitalism' being right wing and 'anarcho-communism' obviously being left wing - *Beamdog's writing was amateurish, but you managed to be categorically wrong about every single thing you said there (lmao)* You obviously don't know the first thing about political science and its ideological labels.

At the inn at Docs, there is a waiter that say that Edwin is very nice and gently lover, despite him acting like an asshole most of time. She want to tell everyone how nice and caring he actually is. He threaten her after, few party members make fun of him and that's how conversation ends, nothing more.
because they know edwin would just as easily betray them to save his own skin or gain power. his scheming, evil nature is why he was able to see through yoshimo, as he knows himself well.
"Ah, and I suppose he had a comical disfigurement, or his mind fell a few coppers short of a silver, or that his tremendous odor kept the stars afloat!" god I love Edwin hahhahah
Looking back at BG2 it did make a lot of sense that a lot of lines were not voiced in those days. After all most Hard Drives were only really about 10 Gig at most. BG2 (originally out in 2000) was a massive game back then at about 2 Gig so would be overwhelming to have every line voiced. Though how awesome would it have been if the Enhanced Editions had gotten most of the cast back together to voice the unspoken lines? It would be feasible nowadays. With the exception of Heidi Shannon (Jaheria) Beamdog did manage to get most of the main cast back for the characters in Siege Of Dragonspear. Edwin really was a fun character to have around. Though one of his best lines is not here as it's not really banter started by him. Apparently when Aerie has her child Edwin if in the group remarks *"Well, it would seem the leader of our little group has impregnated the impressionable circus child. And here I thought she was merely getting chubby without the ring master's whip to keep her in shape."*
I personally hate the update BG. The forgot many hidden treasures and traps. Something only the ones who played the game when it came out would know about.
@@Kingdemonpigfromhell aerie sees multiple planes of existence, both in what can, may and might be, oftentimes with little choice to stop it when it happens, I think she can see him as both a woman and a man and finds it comical. One of the mad mages in the Maze references this.

"The only rodent in my pants doesn't squeak when I touch it"
EXCUSE ME, EDWIN????????
Edwin's voice sounds like a very, very bitter Luigi.
luigi will fireball mario in his sleep and he will be player one.
Manic depressed Luigi?
Waluigi
I have to say my favorite has to be Edwin pointing out Yoshimo as untrustworthy.
The nerve!
Arcane And Rasaad
"Elminster this, Elminster that. Give ME two thousand years and a pointy hat and I'LL kick his arse!"
he enters every conversation with and insult XD
I simply can't imagine a playthrough without him. Even with a CG party.
With his questline completed, Edwin is very entertaining with any party composition.
Apparently, he was suppose to be with CG party, just not with Minsc
He’s like an audit video, picking fights and winding everyone up for a response!
Dunno why Anomen bothers threatening Edwin with the point of a sword, pretty sure priests only deal crushing damage!
Because he is a dumb fuck :D 10 intelligence points, says everything.
That's missile damage lol

The fact that this video exists and its content reflects that BG2 remains one of the best RPGs of all time.
Edwin is awesome.
Edwin is an asshole.
@@Welther47 That's the best thing in him.
1:17 i remember Mazzy Answer since today, i love that Center of the Planes Passage
Cernd pointed out that our 'debonair' Edwin might be a virgin, lol.
Or has only been with prostitutes.
That's not a great feat either...
Yes and entitled, creepy and exploitative, like him.

Edwin knew to pull back from trolling Keldorn because of his inquisitor kit. Dat 18-int stat is pretty handy.
gotta love how most good characters resolve to death threats against insults

Is...is Minsc played by the same guy that did Don Karnage? Now all I can picture is Minsc trying to duke it out with Baloo.....
Minsc is voiced by Jim Cummings (aka Winnie the Pooh and many other voices)
@@frenchfrey65 Indeed. I did go look it up after, it's just that his Minsc sounds so similar to Don Karnage it kinda makes me giggle.
call me crazy but i have a thayan tatoo on my head
A fitting sentence to end own, kind of sums Edwin up.
Best kempt nails in the realms!
I like the one at 2:52 onwards
minsc talk like mister T
I personally hate the update BG. The forgot many hidden treasures and traps. Something only the ones who played the game when it came out would know about.
Concept It's not like they built the game again from the ground up....
I like how Edwin putted out hypocrisy of Anomen order. I never liked Anomen
No one likes Anomen. Annoyingly, he's probably the most powerful cleric companion in the game once his questline is successfully completed.
What hypocrisy?
Redditors getting representation more than a decade before Reddit ever became a thing!
Mmmm no? Reddit is woke they would hate edwin
Can someone explain what they are talking about at 8:00? Dont get it :(
I think Edwin is Edwina at that point, genderswapped through magic. So xe pleads with Aerie to help shim turn back.
