Dammit, why did they have to make him so mediocre in combat?! He's got one of the coolest character designs in the game, and his attitude is awesome. He's too slick to be wasted like that...

When I think of slick, I think of an oil spill.

Zweig actually looks like he has pretty decent skin - no pimples! - so I don't think he's quite so slick.

Oh, you meant cool? He's alright, but I think Lorelai and Killey are even better. :*laugh*: I'd like to see Zweig again though.

Zweig is good guy but not the coolest character in Suikoden V by far. Gizel is quite "slick" by certain definitions though.

Zweig just doesn't have enough development for me. When you think about it, there's very little we do know about him other than being a scholar of Sindar for the sake of knowledge. Killey is a bit of a git to everyone, but it's fun to watch him put Zweig in his place.

I don't think Zweig was worthy of any praise, but we all have our favorite characters even if they're not the best I guess. He was weak in battle, he was more annoying to me than anything, and I really didn't care for it when he'd force his way in the party. Yeah, thankfully there was the 4 person convoy ability, but it still took away from useful support people, since if he was going then you could just about bet that Lorelai was going to tag along as well. Basically after realizing he was only a mediocre character in battle, I kept him out of my party as much as possible.

zweig was just a medicore character, no real inside info on him besides being a scholar. if they gave him more character development he would be a lot better, but since he didn't he didn't get much praise.

Ya i think Zweig was kindof a prick anyways. He's not that cool he just has kindof this whole i'm to good for you attitude.He has a great knowledge of the Sindar and stuff like that. But he really just uses the Prince for his research and he's not even good in battle. There's really no point in using him at all. But my real question is what happens to Zweig between Suikoden 5 and 1/2?You see characters such as Killey and Lorelai but no Zweig.

He probably got in a fight with a bonbon and got killed.

Zweig's really cool.

Well, he did suck gameplay-wise. And he's sort of a jackass. But storywise, Zweig's a cool guy. His role on the game's pretty cool, and at times when he's forced in your party it's fun to try and use him and get something right out of him.

So yeah, I like Zweig.

He was ok enough but like some I didn't use him much in my main party. Only when I had to create multiple parties did he became useful enough to use.

I think Zweig is kind of real big prick and just one thing on his mind and does not care whats going on around him like a war and all he wants is to find Relics by the Sindars and does not anyone but he self to be aloud to go in them thinking he's tell people that they can not go in and to leave now what a prick he is i hope he falls down a deep hole and can not get out.

I never used him. If he was required for the story, he would always be in the caravan while every one else did real work. I mean, it's impractical to use him in Ceras Lake the first time through because his weapon is pitifully weak and his defense is less that stellar. Still, he does become a somewhat competent magician, so I said he was okay.

Zweig's mediocre, but he's an ok character gameplay-wise to say so the least. He's not the best out there gameplay-wise, and he's not the worst either. The only thing I dislike about him is that he gets forced into my party plenty of times, and his mediocrity doesn't really help much at all. I'm not really bothered by this, since this is just a very minor thing and can be solved pretty easily by just putting him in the entourage.

Storywise, I find Zweig to be quite a cool character. Although he can be quite a prick with that attitude of his, it fits his personality really well. I was really hoping that he would receive some more character development, but he didn't. I think he would've been a better character if he did receive some more development than what was given to him in Suikoden V.

When Lucretia first mentioned you'd be meeting someone who was potentially evil, I had in my head that it'd be Windy or something. When I saw Zweig I thought... okay, he has glasses, but he seems to know his stuff. Then after that I just realised how useless he was, not just in battles, but annoying when hes forced on your party to be used.

Zweig suffers from Suikoden V's random-ass characterisation and development.

Lucretia telling you how Zweig would potentially murder you, pretty much on sight, was a pile of rubbish and most likely designed to give a sense of false danger. At best it's an informed attribute, at worse it's just really crappy writing.

Zweig's just a jerk. There's nothing special about him. He knows slightly more about the Sindar than Lorelai or Killey. Oooh, how interesting seeing as he'll never tell you anyway.

Man, even Killey attacked Alex in Suikoden II.
