    [​IMG] Hey Everyone,

    Thanks for the suggested mods.

    Personally, I'm not really interested in pretending to be male, just so I could romance a female npc. (Although the tech variation was funny, I'll grant.) In that case I would have just played a male pc. Although I see now that girl-with-girl was the pre-destined reply for my inquiry. -sigh- Sometimes you boys are so predictable.

    I also didn't choose Anomen because I'm already a mighty fine paladin in my own right. Who wants a guy whose butt you could kick in his chosen profession? If a *real* paladin becomes available, that would be great.

    Now a Minsc romance, that would be something. Boo "leaving no crevice untouched" takes on new dimensions.

    And for attitude I kinda miss the mage from BG1, the one with the Moonblade. What was his name? I could just hear his pessimistic rantings on love.

    Thanks for the lively suggestions. Although isn't it sad that a good man is hard to find even in our imaginations?

    Between Kelsey and Solaufein, you have two very different choices available, both of whom seem to satisfy a large (although often different) population of player. Give them a shot!

    Hmm, I agree it is unfair that as a female char you only can get Anomen (not gonna comment on mods) - I mean there are 10 male NPC's, iirc and only one for romancing, there are 6 female NPC's and 3 of them are for romancing. Doesn't seem to be a healthy balance.
    Hmm, however which of the existing male NPC's would be worthy of a romance?
    I think you can discount Jan, Yoshimo, Korgan, Keldorn, Minsc (hehe, minsc and boo and you...).
    Cernd? Don't think so, he's a soft treehugger.
    Edwin? Hehe, cannot imagine...
    I understand that haer'dalis was intended as 2nd male romance, but then I ask is he really better than anomen? Sparrow?? Raven?? I mean, be serious...
    I would like to hear female population opinion on Valygar. I think that he is somewhat undeveloped NPC, but he could be an interesting personality you know. A candidate for romance? What do you think?

    omg, there's a Solaufien romance?!?! I'd do him any day, but thats because I'm a pervert that loves drow--- not a good combo. Has anyone tried that romance? Is it any good?
    Anomen, well I sort of feel sorry for him; he's pretty messed up if you think about; but no way I'm I having a romance with him...
    Haer'Dalis is annoying; I had him in my party once...for 5 minutes...

    Wait..whats wrong with Edwin? That would be very interesting..

    I wonder, why would Yoshimo be out? It could make an interesting plot twist when he betrays the party (maybe if female PC played her cards right he would betray Irenicus for her, resulting in either tragic death or a quest to cure his geas).

    [​IMG] About the girdle of "gender-bender", it can actually work, on yourself of course.

    I started and played through BG1 as a female ranger, got the girdle and while wearing it exported by character and imported her into BG2. As I'm wearing the girdle the game accepts the character as male, allowing her to romance Aerie, Virconia, etc. And dueing the first scene where Irenicus is experimenting on your, you invontary is removed along with the girdle causing you to become female again.

    True it is a bit involved but it is at least legit. And now back to Aerie! :cool:

    "Now a Minsc romance, that would be something. Boo "leaving no crevice untouched" takes on new dimensions."

    Now there's something I never wanted to think about.

    As for the romances, I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but you could always try Chloe. :cool:

    And I agree with everyone who thinks Anomen is a pompous **** who deserves to have his head hacked off with Neb's nasty cutter. There, I said it. ;)

    I don't know how long Chloe has been out, but maybe the reason no one has mentioned it is that it might not have been available when this thread was active. Prior to Dark Shadow's post, the last post in this thread was from over a year ago.

    For you ladies who are looking to romance someone new, there are four mods I think you should monitor:

    1) Cailean (CG Half-Elf Archer) - http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php?board=18.0

    2) Aklon (LN Human Monk) - http://forums.camagna.net/index.php?showforum=10

    3) Valygar Romantique (the Valygar Romance mod, currently in BETA stage) - http://forums.forgottenwars.net/index.php?showforum=93

    4) Tsujatha Melalor (NE Elf Necromancer) - http://chosenofmystra.db-forge.com/mystra_forum/viewforum.php?f=50

    Why are they making ANOTHER Valygar romance? Maybe it's just new or not popular enough to get attention but the Tourtured Souls Mod feature is no particular order.

    New NPC's
    Yoshimo, Kachiko Romance
    PC, Sime Romance
    PC, Valygar romance
    Some new areas recycled from other D&D games

    It features quite a bit, but it's non-weidu and also I've only tried the Sime part of the mod from begining to end so far, that at least was rushed towards the end of SoA, but overall it was good

    Corthala Romantique is basically the extraction of the Valygar Romance from Tortured Souls, with a lot of new content.

    Many gamers are leery of these large, file-overriding mods such as TS. They are notorious for causing problems.

    Haer'Dalis as a second romance sounds good to me. After all he's at least got Poetry, Anomen's just got his ego.

    I found Kelsey a good romance. Soulafein was interesting, but I didn't feel like drawing out the game waiting for it to finish.

    [​IMG] I think your only option is the tight-assed, annoying Anomen. Try Kelsey, but I didn't like the guy at all when I installed it. Besides, it's better than romancing a moron like Anomen. Furthermore, you are a paladin, just his type. If you switch off all dialogue option and change the portrait, perhaps...
