    Anomen is the only possibility for female protagonists.

    [​IMG] Erm, yeah. However, your only choice is Anomen and he, quite frankly, is the biggest twat in the entire game (IMHO). I usually go for the male pc/female npc romances if I bother at all, although I did start a game with a female avenger druid, A) to try out the kit and B) to play mercilessly with Anomen's emotions.

    EDIT...

    Sorry Blackthorne; you wrote that as I was typing in my message. I'm not just stupidly repeating what you wrote.

    Anomen fall for a female protagonist (although you can dump him). Seems like everyone in this forum just hates Anomen, but I like him, and he gives flowers - a rare thing for a man in this century... so why not?

    [​IMG] Hmmmm, someone who actually likes Anomen's personality; an interesting view to take.
    Just one question; How do you imagine he manages to maintain that immaculately coiffeured jerry-curl and not get helmet hair? I would've thought that the helm of balduran was a pretty weighty piece of kit...

    [​IMG] magical items weigh less than normal ones so he should be able to keep his hairdo.

    [​IMG] I think Keldorn has the best one; the back-combed Duck's Arse style to cover up the bald patch which he almost certainly has...

    Anomen's personality actually comes across much better in the romance than in the rest of the game. Once I met his father I was surprised Anomen didn't turn out to be *more* of a jerk, actually. (-: I like him well enough, but his action comments are more annoying than anyone but Nalia's.

    [​IMG] Yeah; I suppose he's not so bad. I actually use him quite a lot despite his annoying aspects. Come to think of it, the character interaction aspects of the game wouldnt have been as great as they are if all the characters were faultless/completely flawed and two-dimensionally nice or nasty. Its good to have more substantial characters like Anomen, Jaheira and co.

    Anomens not so bad to me once you see what his childhhod must have been like. His character is well scripted!

    Anomen = Kool

    pretty hard fighter, and some nice Cleric spells too boot.

    give him the Gauntlets of Dexterity!

    but as a romance... :-\ it sucks really. But and from what i have heard other women say... they think it sucks too.

    but i know that DaveG is working on a romance with Valygar... ;D

    Man, I would have killed for a romance with Valygar. He's not the best-looking guy in the game (I don't like the no-neck look) but his voice is really good.

    The frustrating thing is they were apparently planning a romance option with him and scrapped it! There are all these confusing leftover interactions apparently about Valygar wanting to remain celibate because of his family curse, which your PC would presumably have talked him out of, because there are lefover sound files of Valygar saying "Whatever you think is best, my love" and stuff like that! Damn! I wish they'd finished that plot! I would've loved to see Val and Anomen fighting over me, man...

    [​IMG] Accually I have a female Fighter\Mage and she is having the romances with both Jaheira and Aerie.. Ok so shes a little Bi I guess (smile) I just felt that it wasn't fair that there was only 1 for the female characters so with a little editing TA DA instant remances for all!!! Now if I could just keep Jeheira and Aerie from fighting over my female all the time what a pain.

    For Primus the one:

    1. Will you please share with this community what is "TA DA instant remances"?
    2. Interesting stuff you got there, but what will happen with Phaere? Will she try to get you in the bed? :p :p

    [​IMG] Accually TA DA meant "presto" my female started romances with Aerie, jaheira and Anomen, Tho I killed the romance with Anomen quickly because I am sure the programmers do not have a dialog for Anomen to squabble with the other love intrests (seeing that his is the only male love interest). Tho I will tell you that Jaheira doesn't seem to like him that much. As for what's gonna happen when Phaere comes along. I'll have to let you know, it should be interesting to say the least. I'm still having problems with Jaheira and Aerie squabbling with each other and I dodged a few questions. Until last night they called my bluff and Jaheira wanted me to let Aerie down "Easy" Well after a few tries and checking the Global Varibles I accuallly said the right thing and the romances are still active and both have already moved on with the Lovetalk. Weird stuff. But I have to admit I get a real kick out of the whole "love triangle". Now whats more dangerous the Red Dragon or those 2 females :)

    Aw, Extremist, how sweet. (-:

    Dual-class human bard/housewife, with eight levels in bard and impatiently awaiting the level break so she can get her old skills back. High constitution and intelligence, middle-high dex, middle-low strength and wisdom. Single-wields weapons only. No violent atrocities in her backstory, so probably won't fit in with the other plotlines. Does not require sleeping in the woods.

    But, that's probably enough goofing around for one thread, before the mods come down on me or something... (-:
