All of you are missing one more love interest.



BEING EVIL HAS ITS MOMENTS

Shes why I made the thread Minthara and the Nature of Evil haha. Good cutscene.

Good to see you Orbax, and yes it was a good cut scene. Though i do have to also mention that being evil is not without its copious amount of bugs and 32+ unit battles

To quote American Psycho, this is how I felt after being in that relationship "I felt lethal, on the verge of frenzy. My nightly bloodlust overflowed into my days and I had to leave the city. My mask of sanity was a victim of impending slippage."

I was kind of disturbed with how fast that Astarion started to flirt with me(being as a guy). I mean it was like the first night camping and I told him that he was standing too close. GTFO dude we just met and you're all up in my grill. Lae'zel I can see having a romance with. Shadowheart well I thought she would be a romance option but the more and more I am around her, she is starting to irritate me. Just keeping her around for her healing abilities.

I wouldn't mind romancing the bard who sings the song in the druid cove.

Astarion is my favourite character, so I don't agree with you OP.

For heterosexual males, I agree that Lae'zel and Shadowheart are not the best options. Lae'zel is slightly better though, Shadowheart is just a teenager...

Also, I like Gale's voice, watch British comedies if you want to know where his personality comes from :P. Gale makes me think of Simon Pegg.

I'm a girl and I personally really liked how close I could get to him, I like how I can just take his bottle and take a sip of the terrible wine! XD

He is only wants you for your blood.

Lazel gets heated later "You could have had me!" She also goes on to yell at you RE: how she will basically pleasure herself tonight and you will never know the pleasure that could have been yours. (you get this conversation if you betray her in anyway, or if you choose someone over her during the evil line at least) It could also have to do with your rep with her, no idea yet.

Shadowheart is distant, her im thinking her time with her "sisters" has done something to her mind (being a follower of shar, losing her memories to the coven, you know evil cleric stuff)

Alfira? She could be a bard companion. But she has no Tadpole so she has no good reason to leave her people and get into the path of danger.

Yeah looks like I will be going to the water fountain to level up my Lae'zel brownie points to get her to have a good time in tent city tonight lol.

Playersexual is a term I've heard bandied about, and I like that one myself. I personally lump the lack of preference into the 'bears and male voices for girls/female voices for guys' thing. Some people will want it, most won't care (my camp), and most importantly: don't have to code gender checks, so you don't have to code as much, so less code to break, and less work!

From Astarion's backstory with his old master, he is definitely bisexual(not by choice imo).

Shadowheart is not a playersexual companion(she commented on me getting with Astarion, but she has no interest in a girl), and I like how there are characters who have their own preferences. It completely destroys character writing, if you write them to cater to political correctness.

So you don't like your Highschool Sweetheart Shadowheart? Guess Larian thought most players were going to be underaged. Ironically in a M rated game.

I think involuntary bi-sexuality is one of the more disturbing concepts ive heard

Damn, I missed this one. Gotta redo a playthrough !




Oh, so only the male are playersexual, then? Did Lae'zel express interest?

Lae'zel does express interest in being with a girl .

I want to sacrifice Lae'zel to the illithids while I want Shadowheart to be my male pc's queen as we rule the world or destroy it

Detect troll -- Wisdom: DC 3

Hey, trolls have levels too.

Astarion flirts with both female and male party members via banter, seems to me he made his choice.

Shadowheart's party romance scene with kiss is available to both male and female PCs. She turns down every male party member's advances done via banter (Astarion and Wyll super fast, Gale takes a few exchanges) and her only female option is Lae'zel whom she hates, so that's a no-go for flirting. Last thing to check is if her "super attractive" person in the tadpole dreams switch gender based on the PC. I know it's male if you play a male character, but I don't know if it is still male if you play a female PC.



Wyll comes off as bi-curious in a banter with Astarion.
