I must be the only one on Earth who can not stand minsc, Or at least the voice acting in BG2 ugh .
I don't have any strong feelings towards Minsc (or Jaheira for that matter). To me Minsc is just comic relief coming from a stereotypical hero with an extra-extra dose of stupidity and a hamster (alien?xD) companion.
I love BG1 and 2 but in terms of characters I think they improved quite a bit on KOTOR and then DA:O and ME
