Hello DW, how are you today?

I've been slightly more productive today, but my main reason for going to work was that we were celebrating a colleague who is leaving and moving back to the UK, where is from. We celebrated with beer tasting, he introduced us to a variety of South East English Ales

I only took a sip of each since I can't really drink alcohol, but I still went a bit dizzy

Hi CE, sounds as though your day has been well spent....

I have done some academic reading and I learned how to use Shadow Keeper....

@DW: Your day sounds went spent too

Shadowkeeper is an excellent little program

Have you got NWN yet? It is released here on Friday, but I won't buy it then since I'm going on holiday and have no time to play anyway until the middle or end of July.

I have discovered that shadow Keeper is well worth it. I actually installed the programme because I accidentally deleted the game in which I had just obtained Daystar.... But of course, while editing I could not resist bringing in a very nice acid katana that comes with the Solaufein mod

No I have not bought it yet.... I am waiting a bit...

I have to run and get my son from school back soon

Did you like the Solafein mod? I haven't triend it, but Solafein was the only male NPC I liked

I think he is the only one who isnt so self-righteous that it flows out of the ears...

Yes...I do. He actually has a backbone and does not require hand holding. Also refreshing is that he discusses poetry and philosphy with the PC (and the rest of the party members)

It was a long time ago I played BG2, but at the time, I didn't like any of the romance options. Anomen was too independant and to "knight"-like, Viconia was too much of a teenage boy wet dream, Aerie - well, I made her a statue at the Copper Coronet, couldn't stand the whining and infantile searching for confirmation. Jaheira was the least bad, IMO, but still too "*****y" for my taste. The other NPC:s didn't call for romance mods either IMO - with the possible exception of Solaufein. I actually DL:ed the mod a long time ago, I will have to try it - when I have time.

That sums up my opinions as well, But I actually hated Nalia more than Aerie.

I hated Nalia too

Aerie was worse though IMO.

dragon wench · Post by **dragon wench** » Tue Jun 25, 2002 4:18 pm

@CE, I think you might like Sola

being the consumate sucker for the dark, brooding, philosophical types I have found him the best romance that I've tried

lol! Of all the NPCs it is Nalia that I hate the most....IMO she is a patronizing, upperclass do gooder who doesn't have the slightest idea about poverty.......

Aerie annoys me, but she can be quite useful at least. Nalia is a lousy thief and there are better mages... But yes...it is a toss up as to which is more irritating........

I guess if i must chooes between a cry-baby and a hypocrite I choose the cry-baby.

Though I admitt when she asked that "do I look beautifull despite my wings" question, she almost managed to get me to hate her as much as nalia.

Absolutely. The worst thing was when she declined my marriage proposal because "it wouldnt be good form to marry peasant". I mean if im willing to marry that horrible thing just so she can keep her damn castle then she should damn well apreciate it.

@DW: An intellectual rebel with a backbone and who acts on his ideas - great

(But is has worked out fairly well IRL too

)

The choice between a hypocrite and a constant whiner is not an easy one - Nalia ended up as a squirrel, keeping the Aerie statue at CC company

DW is right Nalia is less useful...but still, I have an allergy towards infantile whining

dragon wench · Post by **dragon wench** » Tue Jun 25, 2002 4:30 pm

@Dottie,
lol! I agree

I hear she grows up a bit on ToB though....

She wasnt with me then, so I wouldnt know.

@CE: lol, I felt too sorry for them to do anything that cruel.

lol! He is interesting....at one point he got embarked on a conversation about free will and consequence, I was a bit taken back because I'd had a similar conversation with a friend of mine the previous day

LMAO...I enjoy making Nalia pick pocket the destitute on occasion

Same here

She never made it that far

Cruel? I was utlistic - a maximum of happines for most of the people, for a minium of suffering for very few people

Sounds like a good job from the person who made the mod

Does the romance continue in ToB, seeing not much is left of BG2 by the time you meet S?
