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

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.... :D :rolleyes:

@DW: Your day sounds went spent too :D 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 :D

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 :D

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

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)

:D 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. :o

@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. :D

@DW: An intellectual rebel with a backbone and who acts on his ideas - great :D (But is has worked out fairly well IRL too :D )

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 :D

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

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 :D


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

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

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?
