    I definitely like the mod romances better than the "official" ones.

    :confused: Um, no. Viconia topped the list. (Better than Aerie by 22 votes.)

    Let me be the first to join you in a WTF!?! :eek: I can't stand Aerie. She's so whiny, and goody-goody, and clingy, and sometimes I just want to wring her scrawny little ... well, you get the idea. :D

    *romantic ending spoilers*

    I'm not too fond of Viconia because of her 'tude, but I think her romantic ending is very fitting. You didn't really think she'd be able to run forever, did you? But Jaheira's romance is the one with the most depth to it, IMHO. Not only has she been there since the beginning, but as a friend you would want to help her get over the loss of Khalid. If it eventually developed into something more, it's understandable. And being apart for most of your lives afterward (romantic ending) makes sense, as you're really only close friends (with benefits :yum: ).

    I'm not into BGII enough to have any mods yet, so I can't speak for those, but I think the best official romance is Jaheira's.

    I don't hold the whining against Aerie but I didn't like the way she spoke of Khalid. The romance with Jaheira was more fulfilling. An interesting touch was combining the falling for a female menthor with the fact that my human character aged faster and would catch up and eventually become the old one when she's still in her middle age.

    I'm not sure if I didn't like KotOR's Bastila romance more, though.

    Some people liked Aerie better then Viconia. I really simply cannot understand this.

    I'm not that big a fan of Jaheira; not because of her character, but because of how many times it's glitched or otherwise bugged out on me. I still haven't been able to complete it.
