Is this still the best romance in a western RPG? No other game since seems to have topped it.

To bad for that charpic uh...
>romancing what is essentially your foster mother after her husband gets tortured to death
yikes
For me it was Viconia.
Didn't romancing her get you a shitty ending where she's killed and then you and your son go on a Drow genocide to avenge her?
umm no sweatie
you mean based
and that ending is based as fuck
I liked Sebille in Divinity 2
Yes, but it was still a good time with her. If ending her ending was happy, it would have been too fairy-taleish I guess.
That's a pretty cool ending imo, and a good throwback to Durlag's tragedy. No matter how invincible you end up being in D&D you will always get fucked by something.
I only wish you could play it and actually genocide the drows with your mutt son in an epic level adventure.
>my husband died two days ago, but his ghost is ok with getting cucked, he told me in a dream
what the fuck, this is what went wrong with bioware
Disgusting. Also friendly reminder that she fucks Varrens and got an STD from one.
Her romance is pretty long and the first half is basically her nurturing you about bhaalspawn stuff, you get really connected with her only after sailing to island and exploring underdark, it's pretty far in game timeline.
>foster mother meme
She's like 22 or 24 at the start of baldur's gate 1 and you literally meet her for the first time only to give her orders and shit.
She vaguely tries to act like an authority figure but she fails and only wants to melt on your big bhaalspawn dick
played enhanced edition a month ago, had no idea bioware started including romance subplots in this game, the game kept pestering me with obvious romance leads for her a couple of hours after the tutorial dungeon
>that guy at the docks offering you a ring for "your girlfriend"
had to kick all the women out of my party to stop that shit from interfering with my adventuring, best decision I've made
>She's like 22 or 24 at the start of baldur's gate 1
She was a part of Gorion's adventuring group and he was a retired old man. Have you even played the game?
she became my priestess when I became a god
used goods
used goods
wouldn't buy even on a clearance sale.
Your loss, I really enjoyed catfights between all three of them.
>what is essentially your foster mother
Not really, she's closer to a teacher. And fucking your hot teacher is always based.
Based, girls are icky amirite
I work and live in a female-dominated environment, this is me playing out my misogynist fantasy with my imaginary bros.
I let Keldorn take his wife to court and have her hanged btw
>She's like 22 or 24 at the start of baldur's gate 1
She was an adult when you were born and was even tasked with raising you alongside her husband should anything have happened to Gorion before you properly grew up. She is literally the player characters Godmother.
>Bringing Aerie, Jaheira and Viconia in the same party and leading them all on
Their squabbling and bitchiness towards one another by the time you get to the Underdark or whatever is great.
Who told you she was that age? Did you just make it up?
She should be around 50.
She doesn't even give you babies. Chose the naive elf bitch instead.
>having three elves fighting over your big human dick
Holy shit those elves were horny. Khalid wasn't even cold yet and Jaheira was all over you. Aerie was traumatised by torture, captivity and humans laughing at every day but still wanted to ride [charname] raw. And Viconia? She was so up for it that you had to fend her off with a stick if you wanted things to work out.
>not playing a solo NANI Kensai/Mage
you're playing BG2 wrong
The only good BG2 romance is Imoen
Do I lose much going straight to 2?
Yeah, you'll miss a good game.
Wrong character.You are thinking yeoman Kelly and she only lapdances you if you don't date anyone during ME2.
>solo
>not going triple multiclass with no exp cap
not really, all the relevant info is explained in tutorial dungeon, if you meet any returning characters you can almost always ask "wait, who the fuck are you"
not playing bg1 kind of devaules the experience of throne of bhaal, because you miss a half of your journey, but bg1 also sucks because you visit only a handful of dungeons and meet no dragons
I'd skip it if you're not into infinity engine games desu
2 is the better of the two games but BG is pretty great too. I just dislike the low level shit
>bg1 also sucks because you visit only a handful of dungeons and meet no dragons
theres a red dragon in BG1 mate
huh appparently there isn't, weird
then I guess I fucking missed it, sunk 40 hours and never found it, never heard anyone mention it before either
>Khalid wasn't even cold yet and Jaheira was all over you
Doesn't Jaheira's romance take place over a long span of time? Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I don't think she even thinks about jumping on your dick for a while.
>wanting used goods
Who invited the cuckolds?
>NANI
>not going full za warudo
Go further, user.
she sometimes says stuff like "I dreamt we were walking together and Khalid's spirit looked on with approval" after resting, you can tell she is leading you on
how come random capitals guy hasn't posted yet
There were no dragons in BG1, mate.
The low-level campaign doesn't feel quite right for a videogame. You can't do anything that low. I say skip it and play it after you've finished 2.
It'll give you an appreciation for the story and you'll have more incentive to play it through.
based, fighting rats in a basement and running from wolves in a forest is the lowest form of roleplaying
Maybe he got a real waifu.
They were married for years and went through all sorts of shit. Sure, it might actually be a few months before she does show you her braided pubes but it's still a bit quick.
Her old harper friends probably wouldn't approve.
should I download BG2EE? While I'm no poltard I dont like the political stuff and upped resolution would be nice
yes, and make sure to download the Disable Enhanced Edition NPCs mod
You can get her that necklace from that fat merchant right at the start of the game and even that early on she's acting like a tsundere towards you. She's been wanting that bhaalspawn cock in her for a while, and her husband dying gave her the excuse to properly chase it.
Pretty sure that is a dream the bhaalspawn has.
2 is more meaningful if you go thru 1.
Plus charname will have better stats
I liked EE during version 1.3, but they changed interface to shit for tablets after siege of trannyspear update, so I'll probably play the original next time.
can you romance Jaheira as a female character?
I don't know why people skip straight to 2. You start literally mid level and while you don't NEED to play 1 to understand the story, playing Throne of Bhaal without playing 1 means you miss out on understanding a significant interaction
I also like the feeling of doing the full 0 to 20 experience having played both.
no, the only female romance option is... anomen (and hexxat for you enhanced edition trannies)
Bioware wasn't THAT progressive back then.
whos the one in the middle I dont remember her
PC
what's wrong with Anomen
Everything.
Thats a weird pic of Viconia
he's just a generic lawful good hoity toity paladin
All these years later and I still can't get her autistic battle cries out of my head.
I don't know. How long does someone have to grieve before they can move on?
The romances in BG2 are good in general (yeah, even Aerie) because you could actually fuck them up and 'just keep being nice' doesn't work.
Not at all. Do you confuse him with Kelcuck?
Did they found her VA?
>get you first HLA
>realize literally every level after that you get another
what the fuck..................
>what's wrong with Anomen
Oh boy, where to start. What isn't wrong with Anomen.
He can go mad at some point and try to kill Aerie. That's probably a plus.
>female non-warrior PC
WHAT?!
>vanilla EE interface
ewww
Try lefreut enhanced UI, it's great.
You HAVE chosen the RIGHT wife to wife user! Jaheira IS mommy wife! Khalid WILL watch FROM the heavens as I plow HER all night!
>Is this still the best romance in a western RPG
Sadly yes.
finally user what took you so long
Why does this portrait look like some cheap Eustern european hooker?
Because it's an elf.
Keldorn is anything but a generic lawful goodytwo shoes
He's a racist old man(see cinv with Viconia) who is aware of his own weaknesses and admires Aerie's purity and true dedication to goodness.
Also he is a genocidal maniac and I love having him in my party in the Sahuagin city because fish people only deserve to roast on a stick.
Also he will fight you if you stay under 7 rep for too long, and the dialogue beforehand is absolute kino where he basically acknowledges he's going to die in the attempt.
How the fuck do I keep my reputation balanced? I'm playing as a neutral character and it's getting annoying. Also I'm tired of Jaheira complaining about keeping balance. Do I just go on random killing sprees every now and then?
It's her dream where Khalid is watching you and her together. It's the 6 conversation you have with her and happens after you rest
Thank YOU user! You ARE a GOOD user! I HAVE been BUSY cataloging WIFES! I AM thorough with VIDYA wifes so I CONTINUE with non-vidya WIFES! Here IS silent wife!
This widowed hag acting like a teenage girl is cute.
What? No, she was with Gorion when you got saved from being sacrificed. As a baby. Considering Gorion's Ward is 19 at the start of BG1, she's 35 - 37 at the absolute youngest. More likely hovering around her 50s.
Also maybe it was just me but romancing her feels uncomfortable as fuck. Feels a lot like you're catching her on the rebound.
>Feels a lot like you're catching her on the rebound.
That's exactly what you're doing. You're actively trying to fuck your godmother after your godfather was killed, and it's beautiful.
Do the rest of your party members ever comment on it?
Not that I remember.
You lose a rep point every time you use the Slayer ability. You don't even have to do it, just activate it. You get it in Spellhold IIRC
You don't even have to killing anyone* sorry, phoneposting
How do I play this game without being bored out of my mind
You can kill a handful of guys, lose rep and stay rp
For me it's the guy in Maevar jail cells who always ends up a collateral damage of the fight, Qataris for trying to frame my boy Haer Dalis, and sometimes another collateral causality or two during street fights if needed.
Also Assassinations mod is pretty good honestly.
Yes, and?
It's a boomer game, if you find it boring and aren't into D&D at all then forcing yourself to play through it is just wasting your time.
Roleplay as a jew. Jewish high cha mage for baldur's gate, Jewish gunslinger merchant for Arcanum, etc. Works for me every time I have to power through something before it "gets good"
He is neither lawful good or a paladin
combat is pretty fun my man, it's probably one of the better CRPGs to actually have "fun" with next to Fallout 2 if you want to do minimal roleplaying. Unless you're a mostly martial team, then its boring
Jaheira's age is messed up as her bio mentions the tethyr civl war which is like 1347 and bg2 takes place in 1369
Honestly, the reputation system, while it's a nice idea (why would a good character stick with a CE monster), was implemented... poorly. For example, Viconia really should have been exempt from that system, as when she joins, she explicitly says it's to take advantage of the Drizzt effect and not be horribly murdered on sight. Instead, if you make her look heroic, she ragequits. It didn't help that some characters just plain did not line up with their alignment. However, it could be improved. But instead of doing that, Bioware just cut it out entirely.
It was the start of a trend for Bioware where they'll get a great idea, and it'll be awkwardly implemented, but could easily be improved in future works. Instead, they respond to the criticism by just ripping it out entirely.
Tusken Raiders get an /amazing/ loredump in KOTOR that's a pain in the ass to get to? Well shit, not worth the effort and we never get anything like that again. Jade Empire tries to approach Light/Dark from different angles and how both can be used for good or ill, but reverts to the typical black/white standard? Well fuck if people complain just get rid of it. The Mako brings an exceptional level of immersion by getting to outright explore distant worlds, but it controls clunky as fuck? Don't make it smoother, just cut it out entirely. Hawke's overall personality is molded by you picking consistent styles in dialogue options but it comes across as stilted with too many make/break points? Fuck that, get fucking rid of it.
Like most every other trend in Bioware, it can all be traced back to Baldur's Gate.
Despite her alignment Jaheria is basically a good character iirc and she will only have issues with low rep
>Also maybe it was just me but romancing her feels uncomfortable as fuck. Feels a lot like you're catching her on the rebound.
She ultimately gets a happy ending with the PC so it can't be a bad thing.
To be fair, I think Viconia's the only Bioware NPC whose romance ever got a bad ending..
>Tusken Raiders get an /amazing/ loredump in KOTOR that's a pain in the ass to get to?
Wait, what? I never sided with those assholes. You actually get something for that?
I actually liked Jack's romance. If only ME3 didn't shit the bed with it's ending and actually gave a conclusions to ANY of the romances then it'd probably be my favorite.
Holy shit this looks so much better. Has Bioware just always been awful with faces? I thought it was only once they started "super ultra graphics facecap" shit.
Valerie IS the BEST romance AND the CUTEST wife user! (She is! She is!)
What!
>Linzi is the cutest girl
>can't romance her
I'm still seething
I want to try Kingmaker but from all the games I've played with Avellone on board, it really feels like he's only good when he fucking hates whatever he's writing about.
Mon dieu that haircut she's about to crossbow up the monastic school
I have NOT played Pathfinder Kingmaker PAST Old Sycamore user BUT I will SURPASS Old Sycamore user AND I will MEET Nok Nok user! (I will! I will!)
What!
Do YOU want Long Valerie user! Here IS Long Valerie FROM user!
I tried playing this game but I just couldn't get into it.Maybe I'll try again sometime in the future.
Thank YOU user! You ARE a GOOD user! I have NOT played this game BUT I WILL play IN the future user!
What!

Don't half-elves live a lot longer than humans?
Cringe.
>Age: Half-elves mature at the same rate humans do and reach Adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 180 years.
>going on a crusade against the drow with your half-drow son to avenge Viconia
Doesn't sound like a bad ending to me.
It's unironically a great ending.
Is that a bad thing?
Besides, the face for looks more like a young version of Cersei from the tv series.
I'm talking for Viconia herself.
No! Deadfire IS a BAD game WITH two BAD wifes user! They DO leave IN ending user it IS a BAD game user WITH two BAD wifes AND two BAD wifes story! Do NOT give ME Deadfire it IS a BAD game user! Wife anons do NOT buy wife games TO have wifes leave IN ending user it IS a BAD game AND Obsidian IS stupid user!
Do you have a picture of her without armour and weapons in the tent cooking
You're so fucking autistic but I always end up agreeing with you. Tell me your secret user.
I cant read this shit
I do NOT have picture OF Valerie WITHOUT armor AND weapons IN the tent COOKING user BUT I DO have CUTE picture OF Valerie WITHOUT armor AND weapons WITH her SLUT friend Octavia user! (I do! I do!)
>Besides, the face for looks more like a young version of Cersei from the tv series.
I can see it, definitely has the jaw for it. Admittedly I actually liked Lena as Cersei, to be honest. I may not have liked the direction the show took her in, but I don't blame Lena for that. She played her part really well, and I thought she was a great choice that gave a real "beauty weathered by age" impression, considering she looks like this in the books.
Is Pathfinder any good? I keep hearing mixed things about it.
I am wife scholar!
user beneath ALL autism AND shitposting ALL you need IS wife! Through WIFE unity!
It used to be the end-all system to use, but 5.0 for DnD's surpassed it. It's by no means a -bad- system, but it's definitely aged.
I think your posting style is cute, user
Romances in games are usually poorly done, BG2 included.
Yes.
What! Are YOU a Valerie user TOO user! (Are you! Are you!)
If you liked the Baldur's Gate games, there is a chance that you may like PFKM.
It's larger in scope, has some choices that affect how some shit goes and doesn't hold your hand all the time.
Companions may be annoying or just okay.
If you want my advice, pirate it first and see if you like it.
If only these games allowed you to play as a drow.
Drow ARE expert AT mommy wifes user! I TOO am expert AT mommy wifes! (I am! I am!)
Lena is beautiful, but her natural hair colour suits her better.
You can play as a drow in NWN2, but I don't think world will react to it, maybe in some rare cases.
Give ME Ma-Ma mommy wife! (Give me! Give me!)
Yes user! I AM Valanon! I usually VISIT /pfkmg/! Which is WHY I do NOT browse Yea Forums AS much as I COULD! (It's true! It's true!)
What! I AM Valanon user BUT you CAN be Valanon too user BECAUSE we DO love Valerie user! (We do! We do!)
There are a few that let you play as drow. I think you can in Icewind Dale 2. But the problem is that you have to deal with the stupid Effective Level Adjustment (ELA) in 3rd or 4th edition, whatever it is for those games that let you be drow. I think it's +2 for drow, which means you will be stuck at level one until the rest of your party is level 4. You will always be 2 levels behind them.
I get the drow get racial bonuses but those bonuses are not enough to make up for being 2 levels behind.
Can you please stop now?
What!
This is retarded but she's from Pathfinder: Kingmaker, right? Does her character model actually look like the portraits?
Is it even a good game?
What!
Yep, it's absolutely stupid, level handicap always worse than those racial abilities.
Valerie character model IS cute user! It IS cute AND she IS cute user! I do NOT know IF it IS good game user BUT it IS good wife game user AND I will SURPASS Old Sycamore!
What's that WoW orc doing on the right?
What!
>Is it even a good game?
It's a good game, provided you like Baldur's Gate games and have no qualms about RTwP.
Will the companions trigger you? Sure, but at least that's something than having purely player-centric companions.
Check
>I AM Valanon
What! But That is OKAY user! What IS important IS wife! (It is! It is!)
That's not the Nameless One and Fall-From-Grace.
>Time is not your enemy. Forever is.
There's no virgin option, though.
Irenicus' sloppy seconds
Here's your virgin option, user.
Virgin options in Bioware games are very, very rare. The list, if I remember right, is
>KOTOR
Bastila
>Jade Empire
Dawn Star
>Mass Effect
Tali, Ashley.
I think that's literally it.
>Will the companions trigger you? Sure
That is one of the main things turning me off of it. I've heard some of the characters are truly insufferable, with terrible writing to boot.
I had enough of the crap characters in PoE. Had more fun in that when I rolled with a custom party.
Yes there is
>with terrible writing to boot.
Goddammit I fucking knew it. Avellone's only good when he hates whatever the fuck he's writing for.
Pretty sure Aerie was raped by the slavers who caught her, user. Unless they were some kind of gentleman slavers or some shit.
Plebians, all of you.
let me show you MY waifu
That's not Morte and Annah
You can make custom characters in Pathfinder. There's some don't need no man barbarian girl with a secret and there's a cuck orc that you can join in with, but there are also Tiefling twins which results in a threesome. The way they don't hold your hand ins very interesting and refreshing. I haven't finished the game per se due to how the game overheats this toaster but I was impressed with how some decisions affect some shit later on.
IIRC Avellone didn't really have a large part in the game.
Stop reading hentai user, your gamer is literally rotten.
She quite literally spells out that you deflowered her.
Aerie?
Huh, didn't notice that c*mbrain was filtered
I liked Aerie, but how she rejects you after all that effort and shit is bullshit.
>There's some don't need no man barbarian girl
Wait, that's SJW now? Wasn't that the whole point of Xena and Red Sonja?
the ayyy lmao option
>tfw you can kill her if you lead her on a bit and then ignore her texts
High wisdom, indeed.
I've come to cut Aerie some slack in more recent years because when you think about it, what happened to her was legitimately awful. In any other game, what happened to her really would be the tragic backstory of the game.
She's just in Baldur's Gate 2, where you just escaped a months long stay in a torture dungeon being turned inside out every day by a guy nicknamed "The Shattered One."
It's more about where the focus lies. You can have a female fighter WITHOUT her just wanting to smash the patriarchy and beat up all men.
Pathfinder Kingmaker is fucking hard as balls they constantly just shit on the player which makes me mad
You literally make a cute aeriebab.itm with her once she digested having sex for the first time.
And she carries it in her inventory when you fight what is essentially a demi-god, by that point, over the total collected essence of the god of murder.
Probably would've been better to leave her with it in the pocket plane. Sit that one out. Although, that said, I'm not sure what happens to the pocket plane if [charname] dies.
>a literal orc cumdumpster
No fucking thanks.
cringe boomer thread
Aerie is only annoying to teenagers, she's unironically a great character with a really good progression whether you romance her or not.
Part of the BG2 Tweaks mod lets you tailor the romance options. You can remove racial or gender restrictions, and even set it so that you can run all the romances at once
Fair enough.
They absol,utly are. The writing is far behind Baldurs Gate 2.
The characters feel like tumblr-fanfics.
It disappears when you die, and it disappears when you leave to fight Amelyssan anyway.
Having your wings become infected from squalid conditions and then them being sawed off with a rusty blade and having to be treated for infections by a disgusting little gnome would be enough to mindbreak anyone.
All things considered, she's a chippy little optimist.
Elaborate on cuck orc?
You can also use the console for that
Jaheira doesn't give you a kid in her epilogue right? Only Aerie and Viconia do right?
Orc is in relationship with who prefers an open relationship.
You play G-rated D&D, do you? There's no way a hot young elf girl like her, despite any prejudices, wouldn't have been raped by the slavers who captured her, and then likely by the corrupt circus owners after. Her draw at the circus was her wings, or what remained of them. Her purity being intact meant nothing. Anomen is perhaps the only virgin BG2 romance option. Even Imoen was begging for Irenicus' cock before she escaped his dungeon
>He has touched you as we?
You can but honestly most women who desire and excel at doing a man's job are often dykes.
Yeah but with mods you can start getting weird like installing one for subraces and them romancing viconia as a svirfneblin.
Isnt it amazing how Pathfinder attracts the most autistic people like a fresh turt attracts flies?
The Problem with with the game is the general problem I have with Pathfinder. Its the very worst of 3.5 Edition.
You see, in nearly all D&D Edition you can kinda dick around with the stats or build your character for roleplay and still be somewhat viable. Pathfinder on the other hand is Min/Maxing-Faggotery. Its Munchkin-hell that rewards only the most autistically numbercrunching of builds for trying to break the game.
This is sold to you as ''mastery of the system''.
It has less to do with the game and more with Pathfinder being a fucking terrible system.
NWN2 is build on dnd3.5 and it's fairly easy, if you fuck up fight it probably poor positioning instead of a bad build.
But again, not all dykes are just in it for the man-hate. I once knew this cute little lesbian girl who genuinely didn't hate men.
Although that one example doesn't really prove anything.
>Pathfinder on the other hand is Min/Maxing-Faggotery
This is what turned me off the game. You HAVE to know exactly how you need to build your character from start to finish otherwise by mid to end game even the smallest encounters fuck your shit up.
>I am too dumb to read
Yes you are, user. You absolutely are.
Wow, that's probably the first game with this kind of interaction.
That's pretty shit. But those min/maxers who call for maximum difficulty are among those who shout loudest on forums, so they get listened to.
Is PF:KM the kind of game where your non-min/max build can be viable on a lower difficulty AND NOT make you feel like scum for playing on easy? And not be too easy.
And depending on your choices: their relationship can go to shit or good or IIRC you keep her for yourself.
I dont have the game myself but it has custom difficulty settings where you can adjust separate aspects of the game.
Also you can respec your character and npcs at some point if you fuck up your level progression, which is more forgiving than a game like diablo 2
Can you plow her together?
Challenging is perfect for normal builds, probably even too easy after the first few levels.
So the min/maxer arguments aren't really relevant, then?
>there are actual cucks on Yea Forums now
The absolute state of soi-Yea Forums.
>shapeshifting into a wolf
my wizard from BG1 couldn't do that?
Throne of Baal sucked
No, this game is also perfect for minmaxing turbo autists.
>now
Live A Live
Polymorph Self is a 4th level spell.
>gives virginity to random stranger for the sole purpose of ruining herself canonically while you're trying to court her
>no way to avoid this
lmao valeriecucks
Is there an option to denounce her as a slut and drop her?
when she confesses that she fucked joe blow for reasons that defy explanation you can act like a reasonable man who hates used goods and drop her right then and there
Wait she does this while starting a romance with you? I thought it was just a one time fling from her past.The fuck?
At least that's something, I guess. Your character won't have professed love and wind up having to stick with it.
this, jesus fuck
Modern women do this all the time. They'll be running a few dates before they settle on one, and will most likely have slept with one or two of them.
Did you make this shop? It was done well.
she literally fucks a random stranger after joining your party and after the fight that gets her the scar
It is, stop falling for shitposts. She had a grand total of one sexual experience with some mercenary guy in her past. She never cucks you in the game and she defiantly doesn't fuck some random guy while you're romancing her.
>wanna fuck?
>yes
>ok
I dare you to name a more romantic relationship than that you faggots, this is divine love right here.
I think perhaps user didn't realize she is a half elf with an extended lifespan. and wont begin to show her age for another 50-80 years or so.
See Her justification is essentially "if you can't accept me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best."
Thats hot
By developing better taste. Or maybe Fortnite is more your speed. I hear it's pretty popular.
>mates with animals
Shes a thot
But that literally doesn't happen in the game at all. Is this some elaborate shitpost? I haven't been to the Pathfinder general on /vg/ for a while but is this the new epic meme?
I went for Aerie, the lesser of two evils
5th ed is a decent system is your just gonna dick around with friends and get drunk and roll dice. which is fine. not every tabletop game needs to have alot of depth to be fun. and games with deeper mechanics can often drive newer people from the hobby. But for people who actually play tabletop for the the game part of things as well as the roleplaying. pathfinder is a superior system.
She fuck's subhuman monster's user. Have some elf respect.
No, its because they inflated all enemy stats WAY beyond tabletop values.
come home earth man
Pathfinder is a system that rewards min/maxing alot. but you can be perfectly viable even with a sub-optimal build. unless you are doing some dumb shit like taking meta magic feats when you only have like 1 level dip in spellcasting class or something. but i would say thats more on the player.
I friendzoned her. She's a good friend.
Spectral Brand +5
Shield of Balduran
Pride of the Legion +2
Based end game Jaheira
>Wanting used goods and also someone that has been acting as a parent figure to you since the first game
>someone that has been acting as a parent figure to you since the first game
The first part I understand but why is wanting to fuck your hot foster mom a negative?
Those big blue tits... Like mother like daughter. My Mass effect waifu.
It's the only romance I ever liked in a game.
Most romances in games are corny, forced and uninspired (imo).
As a true neutral it's somewhat hard to keep in your party, specially because of her personal quest, but for whatever reason I grew fond of her. I really liked her personality too. I don't know why Beamdog thought she was "naggy" lmao.
Annoy man.
Did you cheat on whoever you were romancing to fuck the drow bitch?
Don't you die if you sleep with her?
Should I play BG2 or Kingmaker? I haven't finished either.
BG2 is superior in terms of writing and quests.
Kingmaker is superior in terms of graphics and character customization.
What do you prefer, gameplay or story?
How do I use Aerie effectively? She can only cast one spell, and I need both buffs from priest spells and attack spells from mage.
Story for sure.
Welp time to boot up BG2 again. I thought I was not going to be a sorceror but looking at the available party members I keep on becoming a sorceror.
>How do I use Aerie
Fuck her.
What role should I give Jaheira? Is she supposed to attack with a staff or should she stay back and buff?
>What role should I give Jaheira?
Warm your bed.
Yes, but she got to pull her weight in combat too.
She's a frontliner, give her heavy armor, shield and scimitar/club.
Is an evil team in BG2 worth it?
kys plebs
Thanks user. That is helpful.
She's very average at everything. I keep her as an off-tank with shield and scimitar and try to to use her as gatekeeper for the backline. She dies quicker than dedicated tanks, does less damage than dedicated fighters and her spells are mostly pre and post battle.
>inb4 how to I utilize Viconia
Making babies with her, of course.
The other clerics are even better damage dealers than her.
So who brings the gnome to every party?
Those tits aren't even real. They're just like a psychic vision to make you bang her.
This. I had the same experience, Jaheira couldn't excel at either of her roles. I was also disappointed a stint without her in the party resulted in her never reaching 3 million exp. as a druid.
Imagine caring about romance options in videogames as a selling point. It's not a VN.
She'll be tanky enough in bg2 with this:
baldursgate.fandom.com
That's impossible because clerics have only 1 attack per round.
How do I tank in BG2? Enemies will go after the first thing they see? Or should I always fight in tight corridors?
Well you posted this thought in a wrong thread because BG is a pretty good game even without romances.
>he fell for meme conversation
>a literal halfbreed nigger that turns into animal
Bioware was never good.
It can be the most fun you've ever had. Korgan is a bro. Edwin is a dickhead. Viconia is a cocksheath.
I think that's it.
You'll have to make up the rest by breaking Anomen, and protecting Jan from being murdered by the others.
Re-read what I said. I didn't say BG was bad, I said imagine caring about romance options as a selling point, which in the case of BG, it wasn't.
They won't go after the neutral turnip harvestor right? That would be mean.
>Edwin
*Edwina
Gods, I want to fuck her just as much as Viconia. Tame them both.
Can you keep Edwin as Edwina without problem with later story contents / interjections?
It's good that we are agree on this. I just found it weird that you mentioned it here of all places.
>Or should I always fight in tight corridors?
Whenever you can, yes. You can even run towards doors and have 2 frontliners blocking the path and healers and casters do their job. I usually try to cast area of effect spells from doors to pull aggro from the mobs and wait for them there, but this is difficult later on in the game as most fights take place in the open (having some summons close to the backline as a decoy to rethink your formation is very useful).
I think enemies attack the nearest target indeed.
>that generic and soulless art
Thanks anons!
No but whoever you are romancing will be pissed off at you, even if you convince the drow not to fuck if you end up in the bedroom together because they'll still think you fucked.
I believe not.
Based Viconia knows that she's superior and she doesn't even see that drow as a threat.
People don't draw her for some reason.
>"romance" in wrpg
>options are non-virgin bitchzilla, man faced megabitch, or literal retard
>interactions consist of them complaining about everything you do and expecting you to solve their problems
>if you are "lucky" you get an awkward pg-13 sex scene out of it
I refuse to believe that anyone likes the romance in wrps unironically
They try to keep it real to what modern western women are like.
You forgot the ambiguous dual wielder. Understanding dual wielding your cock or your clerics' tits if you reject him.
Anyway romances in every game tend to be terrible, not just wrpg, but they insist on including them.
Two best girls in gaming. I'll add the third, simply because of how fun she is, next to Jack.
Everybody thought she'd die young from Huntington's back at Princeton Plainsboro. Yet there she is, piloting a space ship.
That was Olivia Wild in House M.D. This is Yvonne Strahovski.
>Yvonne Strahovski
>formerly Chuck
>genetically perfect
>wonky eyes
Hmm.
Olivia still looks more similar to her than the actress she was based on.
For one, you will miss on the phenomenal combat music.
>keeping Imoen
>ever
Her single saving grace is something the PC can do infinitely better while simultaneously being a better archer or spellcaster.
romance in jrpgs are exactly what the target audience wants. who is the target audience for "romance" in wrpgs?
You're a queer fellow. There's nothing wrong with Imoen.
I like them both, to be honest.
Still amazes me Bioware managed to fuck that up. It's actually kind of impressive.
I still appreciate her very much, regardless. It's the voice and the accent, I assure you.
JRPG fags are upfront that they want wish fulfillment. WRPG fags want a "realistic" romance.
The problem is real relationships are hard as fuck to get right due to, by nature, being incredibly complex and oftentimes not something you can just write down. People don't want arguments because it stresses them out, but arguments are part of all relationships and is unavoidable. There's a lot of trying and poking and experimenting, but people don't have the patience to deal with that in a video game and want to get straight to it.
It turns out that successfully writing genuine humanity and genuine human interaction is not something you can do in broad strokes; who would've thought?
>Ashley
???
>Virgin options in Bioware games are very, very rare
Tortanic has a good number
SCHOCK COLLAR
>neo-mission straight up suggests you dick her daily
surprisingly based of bioware
Not him but Ashley complains in ME1 that guys were only ever interested in her sister.
I always take Edwin no matter my party composition or alignment
Korgan is the best pure class fighter companion, leagues above Minsc, Valygar or Sarevok (shorty saving throws + enrage)
Viconia is trickier, perfectly viable on core rules but not viable on insane without girdle of fortitude. Her 65 magic resistance is amazing (can get to 10) though and with the right gear (girdle of fortitude, gauntlets of str, elemental resistances ) she's by far the very best non arcane tank companion in the game.
Jan is amazing, I always take him, mage/thief is one of the very best classes if you know what to do with it (mislead backstabs at 8apr is one of the highest dps in the game), specialist so he has quite a bit of spells lots, can fill any role really. Tank, dps, thief, caster all at once. Haer Dalis is the only fighter/mage type companion, and his spells like remove magic, stoneskin and mirror image scale like crazy with his levels.
Evil/neutral party is not only viable, it's basically optimal tbqh.
She sucks in BG1 but is amazing in BG2. Iron skin, insect plague, greater earth elemental transformation, she's a very solid non arcane tank if you know what to do with her.
Only problem is her low wis and that atrocious level 13-15 druid gap, but she's a really solid companion all around.
No, and the banters are amazing. Jan/Edwin brightens my day everytime.
trying to get Yea Forums famous or what?

What the fuck happened to BW since then
Jaheira isn't even the best romance in that game.
Khaleed was a bro, what kind of a monster are you?
>Autistic Imperial
but there's several of those
