Voting already ended on august 28.....
Anyway, you can now choose between Tails (Sonic) and Globox (Rayman). So it's not about the best sidekick, but the best known sidekick....meh. (that's the only reason Captain Price (Call of Duty MW1/2) could beat HK-47 and Minsc)

According to the schedule the final round isn't until September 23. I think August 28 was the editor's voting round to determine which characters would appear in the contest.

My vote would go to Morte or HK47 rather than Minsc.

Morte: C'mon, Chief! We're in a building with some of the sexiest chits this side of the multiverse, and you're stopping to talk to *modrons*?

Morte: One time you awoke obsessed with the idea that *I* was your skull and chased me around the Spire trying to shatter and devour me. Luckily, you were crushed by a passing cart in the street.

Ah, you're right. Silly me, turns out I have to vote lots of times :P
HK47 for the win!

Minsc needs the votes! he losing from that lady from Resident Evil 5

Were you murdering civilians by any chance?

no taking to long to go to the gnoll stronghold lol didnt know that it can make party members hostile.

Yeah, they can be touchy like that

too bad i was just busy exploring.

Looks like Garrus from Mass Effect knocked Minsc out of the running and is now neck and neck with Hk-47 from Knights of the Old Republic.
