I completely agree with everything said above. Argail feels like a kindred spirit, and he has a great sense of humor, which is why the Tribes of the East lost a lot without him. Duncan, paired with Wolfstone, also makes a very good duo, and should be added to this list. Gotai didn't work out because he just spouts slogans: "Down with demons!" and that's it. And the voice acting was also very weak and too quiet. Arantir is generally not a proper necromancer; he's too positive. In my opinion, they shouldn't have added him to the game at all. In the Tribes of the East, Orneela and the vampire seem like very successful characters, but unfortunately, they die.
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
