Is multi romance cheating?

Discussion in 'BG2: Shadows of Amn (Classic)' started by SORVO THE SLAYER#27, Sep 6, 2001.

  1. [​IMG] No pun intended. Considering you are a half god just past puberty!

    Yes, since the designers of the game didn't intend you to be a two-timing sonofabitch ;)

    But cheating is a harsh word, I like to call it "having fun".
     
  3. It isnt three timing if they all know.

    Ive had Aerie and Jaheria both talking romance to me at the same time, and talking shit to each other in the middle of it. Verbal match over my chaotic good archer!

    No cheating involved... its below my standards.

    Ofcourse it is cheating, because you use a 3rd party patch/crack/hack that makes the game different. But it is YOUR game, so wether cheating or not, play it as you like :)

    Have you tried to go out with more than one girl at a time in RL?

    It takes nerve, patience, luck and a very high stamina. But the only way for it to go on is that none of the girls will know of the other.

    HOWEVER, if you are an arab shakh, or you are a mormon, you can have a whole harem to yourself. :D

    I don't think its cheating, because a romance is not something you can powergame - you have to roleplay them.

    Roleplaying is alwas fun, so the more fun you have, the better.

    [​IMG] I said it before. It is cheating.

    BG2 is not real life. It is cheating.

    You're not arab shakh nor a mormon in this game. It is cheating.

    It can be powergamed from console. It is cheating.

    It is not roleplaying since you can finish the romance without keeping one "exact" role. It is cheating.

    I think sleeping with three different women behind each other's backs constitutes 'cheating', all right.

    Oh, you mean cheating in the GAME. (-:

    Well, that too, really. How realistic is it that you could keep all this lovetalking a secret? The other characters couldn't HELP but overhear some of it. And don't try to tell me the ladies would cheerfully share you, either. That's not roleplaying, it's nothing but a bad rationalization. All three of the women are programmed to explicitly tell you they're dumping you if you don't knock it off with so-and-so. Aerie dumps you if you sleep with Phaere, and Viconia killed one of her husbands for cheating on her. Don't try and tell me these women are supposed to be a harem, please. (-:
     
  12. It's Sorvo(the name of my D&D character from "78") So anything that didn't come with the game is cheating?

    PC: Erh...hehehe...Viconia...it...it isn't what you think!
    Erm...eh...uh...suddenly me and Aerie's clothes began to dissolve...its must be that curse that Irenicus...
    Viconia: Groin kick: PC
    PC: Took 50 points of groin kick damage from Viconia.
    PC: Ow! Ow!

    No, but anything so dumbass you have to be a 26th level lawyer to even start trying to justify it is. (-: Try to convince me the characters Aerie, Jaheira, and Viconia would either not notice that you're sleeping with more than one of them, or would not care. Just try.

    And if you've decided their personalities as they're consistently portrayed in the game are irrelevant, well, then what the hell do you want to role-play the romances with them for anyway?

    Surprisingly, it will work!

    I'll just tell you that boo is a sort of a mute and you'll never know if you screwed the romance or it's still rolling... :p :p
