Okay so you want to romance Imoen

I think you can romance Imoen if you download one of the heck programs. I believe that on another thread they were talking about some guy who was making custome romances or something like that for BGII. But that doesn't change the face the Imoen is your sister. But I was justing thinking that maybe the BG people didn't have to make Imoen your sister but still could make her a godchild and thus able to fit her into the whole Irenicus and Bodhi storyline. (That seems to me to be the only reason they made Imoen your sister.)

Bhaal wasn't the only dead god. They could have made her the daughter of Mykstra (God of magic). Not the Mykstra planned anything like reincarnation or anyting like that with her. But could have had Imoen with one of Mykstra's devoted servents to whom she (I think Mykstra's a she) went for help after she was made mortal. She died and the devoted servent also fell ill and had no choice but to give Imoen up to Gorian to be looked after in Candlekeep. Which is why Gorian wanted to leave Imoen in Candlekeep because he forsaw that she would eventually turn to magic and needed to be in the great library and stuff like that.

Following this storyline Imoen is no longer your sister and thus you can romance her and she is still a godchild so Irenicus can still her soul and give it to Bodhi. What do you guys think?

P.S. You can find out the full extent of Imoen's background from the Harpers in Amn.

It's the lamest thing I've ever heard,she's a bhaalspawn as she should be.It's much cooler to have her at your side with both the same heratige.I like Imoen's original story,it makes her the 2nd most important character in the game,so why change it?

Imoen loses all importance in the series if she is not a Bhaalspawn.

You people are sick, instead of trying to get new romances in SoA, try to get some in REAL LIFE.

It is an interesting idea, but it makes Imoen less personal, surely one can act like a brother to her without any sexual angle at all.

@Gaxx LOL

I don't like a romance with Imoen. I feel that the sibling relationship due to growing up together (without considering any blood relationship) is very natural. I guess I feel that way because I don't have any sisters myself

.

The only request I would like is that they offered 2 endings for her wherein she still got the chance to adventure with the PC whatever the PC's final decision was. Her Bhaalspawn background would be an asset then.

Why is this a mutually exclusive goal?

I agree with jeremiah. Blood or no blood, Imoen really is your "little sister" ... hell, she's referred to as an "eternal child" more than once. To me, she just isn't the type for rolling in the hay, and I couldn't have my PC develop that kind of feelings for her anymore than I could feel that way about the young girl across the street.

Don't count on me in this matter. Here I could say the same as about Khalid PNPC - I will not make that , no matter how many interested people will be there.

Hey calm down people. I didn't say *I* wanted to romance her or that it was a good idea to romance her. I agree with you guys totally. She's just like your little sister Bhaal spawn or no Bhaal spawn. It's just that I have been reading a tone of treads from people who want to romance Imoen and usually get told by some one or other "Dude she's your sister!" so I just came up with an idea for a SoA storyline that would allow does people to romance her, that's all. No need to yell at me for it.

You people are sick, instead of trying to get new romances in SoA, try to get some in REAL LIFE.

Hump... I guess you aren't romancing anyone in your game(s). Seesh you aren't much for roleplay are you?

No, I *do* romance the availible NPCs. I just don't imagine and wish that I could have more pixelized romances in a game. The romances were very well writen.

Sorry, but I flamed people in general who want to romance Imoen, not you.

Its not true. You can romance "Imoen" and still have all of the opposite sex you can handle. Seriously this guy is sticking his neck out saying something and you guys flame him about not being romantically active. How the f*** do you know what he does in his spare time. Playing a game doesnt have to take all of your available time. You guys make me sick.

@Kellen, you know, nobody has really indulged in a flame until you appeared. I suggest you allow Trunks to defend himself--he seems to be a better and more gentlemanly job of it, than you--and go take a few deep breaths. Maybe a long walk.

(And read the forum rules, while you're at it.)

I've held for a long time that all this concentration on romances in BG2 is kind of silly. When you think about it, the stuff was almost certainly written by some 300 pound bald progmmer who probably goes by the name of Bubba. Sure, there's nothing wrong with playing 'em: it's your game. You buy it, you can do with it as you wish. That said, it's generated an amazing number of message threads from people who want to get it on with a pixilated image, and argue endlessly about which of the three female romances is best--and whether Imoen would be better than any of 'em.

The best is obvious: a real, live woman you can hold, share the good and bad times with, build experiences with, trust and fantasize about.

tee-hee. Like hearing your own voice Fable?

What about the poor ladies who play BG2? They're stuck with Anomen. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Real Romantic(TM), and I'd rather sleep with my own sister than date that guy....

Besides, we *all* know blow-up dolls are the best. They last forever, and for 5 bucks you can patch 'em up good as new!

(note - if you take this seriously, seek help. Quickly. As in, pick up the phone, find professional psychological help. Today...)

Hmm, maybe soon it will be changed.....

As for romances, their role in this game is the same as in books I think . Maybe it is my sentimentalism , but I appreciate that even Tolkien added Arwena to Aragorn's story or other endless fantasy stories where romances added this *something*that makes the stories more interesting. The same is with my PC. I'm not my PC, but I like CRPGs because I could decide for him what to do, thus making my own version of the story. And in the same manner my PC could romance and be romanced because it makes the story better.

This is what comes of editing late at night; you quote instead of edit.

Anyway, I decided to open the space for rent.

Agreed, @Manveru. (Though I prefer Faramir and the Rohanese princess. That part of the tale has more humor and real life about it.) It's not a bad thing to have the option for romance in these stories. It's just a little cause for amusement when we see quite a few players over time agonize about "how can I win all three!" and that kind of thing. Reminds me too well of Tatewaki Kuno in Ranma 1/2, the most obsessive character in that great manga/anime.

One has to admit though that most romances that are created in fantasty and other genres are at best cheesy, they are fake and do not show true emotion.

(BTW romancing Imoen is sick, but then romancing any computer game charachter is decidedly dodgy, you are after all romancing someones projection of who/what a woman is. Go for it if you get your kicks from it, just don't besurprised when people find it strange. )
