To add new romances - this is an excellent idea.
Valygar and Kivan are nice choices and dialogues with Edwin are SO funny... And, of course, romancing that dark elf can be very interesting, too, although this option would be available only late in the game.
Here are some suggestions...
1) May be this idea won't be popular, but still... I believe that possibilities of romances should depend on PC's charisma (natural charisma, not that one gained with Blade of Roses, Ring of Human influence, etc.!) Without a question, this will make the whole situation more difficult, since we should sacrifice something else from the stats for higher CHA, but this is more fair... I mean, NPC's shouldn't go romancing every woman only because she is PC.
2) Could every romance involve some quest/quests? Not only dialogues, but some situations that need PC's intervention (there could be a lot of possibilities - f.e. - somebody could even save PC's life - we used to save all those people around us and to hear their thanks afterwards, so may be it is time to thank someone ourselves - well, this is only one idea, and there can be millions of them).

Soulafein reminds me somewhat of Zaknafein in the Drizzt saga-(was thinking about his bio). Zak was Drizzt's father, and held many of the same values as Drizzt, although he was much subtler and sneakier about his private thoughts (he had to be to survive in the Underdark for a couple of hundred years).

Just curious regarding the Edwin potential romance, there is a part of the game where Edwin is a woman...how did you plan to incorporate this into the whole romance scheme?

Kewl ideas though, would love to see more options for male romances besides Anomen.

As to the Edwin romance during his 'accident'. Two or three ways to handle this.
1) Not exactly politically correct, but Edwin could enjoy his new body, and try to convince the pc to as well?

2) Could spend his time trying to prove that he's a 'man', even though ,well, he's not.

Egh hum?(Thats a clearing-Throat noise)

XAN? Hmm, never thought of "We're all doomed" as a come on, but I guess he could say "Well, since we're gonna die anyway, let's boff first "

Xan: Laurelei, I really don't think we're going to survive much longer, I think you should let me give you the "moonblade" treatment tonight.

Laurelei: Wow, Xan, I didn't know you cared....

Xan: I don't, much, but I thought I'd try and work up a little enthusiasm for SOMETHING before I die.

lol, but why not, if there are people that will write dialogues for Xan I can make romance for him, however I would rather to focus on some things that will give more interestiong situations in this game then I have to say that Solaufein, Kivan and Edwin projects looks the most interesting, though I need more romance dialgues between PC and NPC and then we could add more and more complications in case if player has another male NPC in the party.

All these things could be connected with much more influential quests - That is the reason why I like Jaheira's romance - Because of Terminsel's/Elminster's interest in PC the Child of Bhaal this romance is much more connected with main story than Aerie's or Viconia's (though I don't know the continuation of ths part of the story since I haven't got ToB so far ) .

I will try to give some more ideas tommorow or something like that.
