Romances with various endings? (Spoilers)

Remove all ads!

Hello,

I am a compulsive spoiler-addict so I've checked to see what happens at the end, and the various options available. I am female (er, and my character is too) and am in the romance with Anomen. My question is, do you get the "lived happily ever after" ending even if you choose to be a god (either good or evil, though I would be good), or do you have to choose between godhood and the romance (ie the romance only works if you become mortal)? I'd hate to have to choose between them as I'd like to be a good god *and* have the romance but I can see how that might get a little complicated.

 

You asked for a spoiler, and you shall have one.

If you choose godhood, any romance you have terminates. The "where are they now" stories at the end are as if you never romanced them.

Decisions have their consequences.

 

Ah that's what I was afraid of. At least I have some time before I have to decide!

 

You asked for a spoiler, so here it is:

Anomen Delryn

Eventually parting ways with his companions, Anomen would enter the hierarchy of Helm's church,
over time rising to the rank of High Watcher. He remained restless and dissatisfied, remembering
his days adventuring with <CHARNAME>...and though many friends would urge him otherwise, Anomen
never felt that the church was his true home. He remained in his position for a year until
finally he could bear it no more. He left active duty in the church and, for a time, wandered
the new land of Maztica as a missionary. Anomen remained a troubled soul, still never content
even though his prowess earned him great respect from the new friends he encountered. When the
powerful evil priest Yamash summoned a horde of demons in an effort to rid Maztica of all life,
Anomen would at last find his purpose. He alone was responsible for organizing the tattered
remnants of the Amnish soldiers and local Mazticans into a united army that stood against the
dark priest. In the great battle that followed, Anomen was seen plainly by all to plunge into
combat single-handedly against Yamash. He did not have <CHARNAME> or other companions beside him:
alone he stood against the tide of evil, and for once he was not found wanting. He was last seen
from afar, shedding tears of joy as he engaged Yamash and shouted out to Helm while chanelling a
blinding flash of power. When it cleared, both the priest and Anomen were gone. The battle was
won and Maztica was saved. Anomen would forever after be regarded as a hero, inspiring the
creation of a protective order of knights in his name. A new order for a new land.

Anomen Delryn - Romanced

Anomen and <CHARNAME> continued adventuring until they were known as heroes almost everywhere
they went. Many were the grand tales of the Shining Knight and his utter devotion to his great
lady. <CHARNAME>'s past as the terrible Bhaalspawn was forgotten forever as new deeds replaced
old and a legacy was created that far outstripped anything granted by godly blood. So prolific
were their careers that the proposed date of their wedding kept getting moved back, either due to
impending crisis or some lucrative adventure that one or the other would insist on investigating.
Finally a date approached that both <CHARNAME> and her beloved were determined to keep, and the
much heralded event drew heroes and dignitaries from across Faerun. The couple had touched the
lives of many, and those people arrived in droves to watch Elminster himself unite the two in one
of the grandest ceremonies the city of Baldur's Gate had ever seen. Anomen and <CHARNAME> retired
from public life shortly after the celebrated birth of their daughter, although if tales be true,
their adventures never truly ended. Anomen would rise high in the hierarchy of his church, and
<CHARNAME> would continue to be the center of strange events throughout their lives. So, too,
would their daughter, tutored by two of the greatest heroes in the Realms, forge a legend to rival
that of her mother's. That, however, is another story completely...

Now is this the ending with the Ascension mod installed, or without it? I don't have it at the moment but I may download it. Right now I'm still in the Sahauguin city so I've got a ways to go before it's really an issue!

But I *lurve* my new cloak of mirroring, even if it does make me look like I'm living in a bubble.

 

There is a patch at this site that disables the bubble and makes it with just eh circle at your feet

 

Well, what I posted is for Acension, but I'm willing to make a bet that it is exactly the same without it. Everybody else's is.

 

You'd lose that bet; it's not the same. In ToB w/ no mods, there is no mention of a daughter nor is there any mention of Anomen rising in hierarchy of the church.

 

Okay then, I've never gone through the game with the Anomen romance, so I guess I wouldn't really know.

Do you happen to have the original epilogue that you could post?

 

I completed the game with Anomen a few times, and every time it said something about the adventures in Maztica and the oreder of knights dedicated to him.
