For the sarcasm-impaired (and to clarify the point a bit)--my de'Arnise Romance project isn't a direct "answer" to Arnel's existing one. We both came up with the idea independently, and when I heard of his, I decided that I'd plow ahead with mine unless his was splendidly world-beating. I didn't find it so, so I was undaunted.

As for being tired of Aerie, have you tried her flirt pack yet? You might enjoy filling in the gaps between those now-familiar lovetalks.

Flat out, Tashia's a bit of a Mary Sue. She gets the better of most everyone in the party and nobody has the goods on her. (Disclaimer: it's true that Kelsey does score a fair few points on the proposed "Is your BG2 mod NPC a Mary Sue?" scale.)

Imoen's Romance requires you to basically accept a "different" Imoen. The author adds various game events that make the romance more "plausible." Gone is the girl who's perfectly happy being your sister and says so. Some people think that the characterizations involved reflect poorly on everyone from Imoen to Irenicus, although others swear by it.

Other romance options include Kelsey and Solaufein (both male: Kelsey romances female PCs, Solaufein romances anybody.) Coming soon is everyone's favorite lesbian demigoddess kensai, Chloe.
[/QUOTE]Actually, I did not know you were working on your own version of the Nalia romance. What I heard about the current one is that it takes her out of character from what you normally see from her, much like what you are telling me about the Imoen romance.

I was debating the flirt pack, but considering what I have seen about them on the posts, I am definitely planning on adding them to the game.

Tashia sounds like a pain in the butt. Might try her one of these days, but will probably hold off on her.

Hadn't heard about Chloe. What's the deal with that one?
