    What myths have you heard about SoA on fansites.
    I've seen:
    -Bounty Hunters can use any weapon, including halberds, 2 handed swords, etc.
    -Assassins backstab multiplier goes to 7x.

    thats all I remember for now. Are there any others?

    I dont know about the second one, but the first one is correct. You have to have ToB, where you can choose to get an ability called 'Use Any Item'. ;)

    This however is not the ToB forum, so stick to SoA only.

    Assassins do get x7 backstabs, but I think it isnt shown in their character sheets. I am pretty sure about this atleast.

    Not in SoA they don't.

    One myth I do remember reading was that romances were terminated the second you removed your partner's from the party, except Jaheira's which continued, to which Extremist corrected me on that.

    actually I've seen those points before the release of ToB on some sites. I don't know where they got that from...they said since they are bounty hunters they can use a variety of weapons to capture their target. yeah whatever.

    This topic is probably going to be moved or locked, but what you were viewing was probably just a preview.

    The romances thing DOES infact happen, even with the Jaheira romance:
    You can`t let them die, kick them out, let them get charmed, let them be turned into stone, or a couple of things I forget, because they reset the AI.

    Wrong. If they get charmed, it does not reset the romance. If they get turned to stone, it does not reset the romance (except in Jaheira's case, without the patch). Of course, if you leave them in that state for more than three days, it will reset their AI.

    Yeah, because I've lost count on the number of times a character I was romancing died, and it never killed the romance. I think it may have reset some timers, because the next dialogue always took a long time to show up.

    I think he heard a lot of those rumors from the same site where I saw them. I assure you, they are not correct. The information that I posted is. Stefanina, were you in a dungeon when it happened? Romance dialogues do not appear in dungeons or the underdark.
