From a pure RP perspective, which class would you say gets the most out of the OC as far as the complete campaign is concerned? (combat and rp)

I have it narrowed down (with builds) to either a half-elf ranger or an asimar paladin at the moment.

If you limit it to pure RP, both make great sense. In the OC, the story has a large focus on undead and outsiders, and you can get (improved) favored enemies on both. Rangers also have an animal companion to assist them, but only the Dinosaur is really good so you'll have to work that out RP (make sure to take Natural Bond).

Now paladins destroy evil for a living, and these undeads and outsiders happen to be very very evil. Because the main bad guy is an outsider, Kaedrin's "Champion of the Silver Flame" also makes good sense.

Paladins rely more on buffs and abilities than Rangers do, but they gain access to a Holy Avenger which is the best weapon in the OC.

Of importance is conversation. Paladins have Diplomacy as a class skill, while Rangers have nothing. Not a big deal though, with multiclassing and able learner you can still easily max out the conversation skill you want. Probably it would also work out cross classed, considering usual DCs and the abundancy of booster items.

I could go more into detail about the mechanical aspects of the two classes and race choices, but I don't think that's your main focus here. Plus the OC is low difficulty so you have quite a bit of playroom.

Whatever class you choose to play, i suggest you have at least one domination in the conversation area - diplomacy, taunt, intimidate or bluff.

I personally am replaying NWN 2 OC per new just to see how different it works to have a character with a different set of skill in dialog. Just the difference between diplomacy, intimidate, taunt of bluff makes this game worth replaying again. I recommend choosing your class not by the general features, but by the skill in dialog, which that class uses most.

I played as a ranger/wood elf for the first time, and it was "as close" to the "harborman" story as could be, but i was not satisfied, since lost many great oportunities in dialog.
Next time played as paladin/assimar, it was great, used diplomacy extensively, gained lots of influece on all of the good guys!
Now playing as a brutal barbarian/human, chaotic character who intimidates and taunts everyone - it's really fun, i get influence with Quara, Neeshka and Bishop and Khelgar!
The 4 time i will play this game with a bard or sorcerer and have bluff as my main skill in dialog.

This way playing the game 3 or 4 times will be very refreshing!

You know, nothing stops you from making a ranger/paladin multiclass...
