I think by this point it is apparent that each of us has different ideas of what Viconia should or shouldn't be, which in turn means, there is no single solutions for all the problems that has been written here.

Larian made one solution: Viconia is evil, BG2 development seems like never happened (OP confirmed that including the development in previous game to this game would be good but it wasn't their point, yet seems to be troubled when the development isn't fitting to what "Viconia" means to them).


I think the problem is that Viconia is not treated like Minsc and Jaheira. And I think WOTC has something to do with it considered they are the one who enforced the "canon" version of the story of which Viconia never romanced (so she likely never become a TN character) thus making her "character development" (the character development, most of the players like, I assume) never happened.

If it up to me I will not remove Viconia, instead she should be able to join our camp or better yet, our party, in similar fashion of that Minsc and Jaheira. Only then the complain would be clear that it wasn't actually that Viconia is "badly written", it's "not written as I would like it".
