I like all origins and Jaheira and Minsc. I do like what I saw of Minthara. I managed to get her twice on a good playthrough, but first time,she was bugged and didn't say too much. Second time we are still in act 2.
I don't like Halsin, he stays in camp for Orin. I did actually forgot about him in my last playthrough and just went to do other stuff before going to the Bhaal temple.
I think this game has a bunch of memorable side characters,more than I ever remember in another game,apart from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, which is still in lead for me character wise.
