Viconia Questions *Spoilers for both SoA & ToB*

Post by Orland »

Ok, I have been giving it alot of thought and I want to bring Viconia into my next party, but at the sametime, I'm a little hesitant of losing Keldorn. So, I have a few questions and hope that someone will gleam some light on them to help me solidify my party with Viconia.

1) Is the romance with her worth it? I've heard people rant and rave about her, but in a story context, is it that good?

2) In ToB, I know she gets an Alignment Change, when she gets the alignment change, has anyone tried grouping her with Keldorn again to see if they get along?

3) If I replace Aerie with Viconia, who should I replace Keldorn with? The other party members are a pally, Minsc, Jaheira, and Imoen. Please keep in mind, I'm trying to keep a good aligned party, more or less.

4) Out of sheer curiousity does she choose a new god after her alignment change or stay with Shar (if so, no names needed, just wondering if she totally converts).

Thanks

1. Personally, I prefer Aerie's romance over the others. Viconia's romance is alright, there is some cort of story behind it.

2. No NPCs will be fighting in ToB, when ToB start, everyone get a new set of script. I've looked through them, no one will fight.

3. Sorry can't help

4. Not to my knowledge, she change alignment at a late stage of the romance, but I don't think she said anything about changing god.

Ah, thanks, just one more thing: that script change for the npc's you mentioned, is that in effect when you install ToB or when you play out the expansion after your battle in hell?

The script change happens when you start the ToB part of the game, so it's after the final battle with Irenicus.

Ummm, do you have to be romancing Viconia for her alignment change in ToB?

By "is the romance with her worth it," do you mean, is the hassle worth keeping her in your party, so you can make use of her spells? Definitely. She's the best priest, IMO, in the game.

I hope you don't mean whether you get any vicarious thrill out of having a few lines of programming dialog attached to a bitmapped image. If you do, go find a girlfriend. ;)
