yet another romance post (minor spoilers)

Found and interesting twist in the romance scripts that people may find fun. That is, it's possible to have a 3-way...sorta. I started up my game as a female. That activated the Anomen romance. (The global that allows a romance to blossom is assigned according to sex and race in character creation.) Then, as soon as the intro finished, I used Shadowkeeper to change her to a male. When you open up the game it now activates the female romance scripts. Then, changed her back to female. The thing is, the romance scripts do not deactivate when you change the sex of the character. So, now, I essentially have the same character I started with (female elf sorcerer), but she's being lovey with both Anomen and Jaheira. Both scripts have progressed well with no apparent bugs. (I'm around 20 lovetalk on both.) I was worried that I might get glitches when sex became relevant to other characters in the game. For example, would the guy at the docks try to sell me the locket for Jaheira since I was a female? But in those cases, it looks like the scripts for those characters are based around whether or not the romance script is active, assuming you're whatever sex you're supposed to be rather than checking for what sex you actually are. So there are rare times when certain characters will refer to me as "he," but it doesn't seem to have caused any glitches as of yet. Menage, anyone?
Also, my inner feminine side was stewing over the fact that only Anomen was a love interest for the gals when it struck me that Black Isle missed a great opportunity by not making two more interests that would each be VERY interesting to play because of something that happens with each of them: Yoshimo and Edwin. Yoshi because...well, you know. And Edwin because...well, you also know. Could have been really good fun.
BTW, does anyone know if there's some logic behind the fact that all four love interests are, at least in part, priest-class?
