Right, forget about the 'I'm not replying, don't reply to me' thing, that's gone. It's not going to work if I am actually replied to.

Damn right bad guys are cool, sir! Ask many actors, and they'll tell you there's nothing like donning the 'black hat' and being a madman for a while. Many stories are made by their villains; the Sheriff of Nottingham, Mordred, Saruman, Herod... the list of fascinating and brilliant villain characters that have darkened the pages of fiction and beyond goes on. Irenicus, with his refreshing indomitability and total focus, is one of these (let's face it; what IS BG2 without him?). There are plenty of BG2 gamers who find using an Evil PC good fun too, so I daresay they'd agree with me.

As for the age rating thing, that was more of a lighthearted quip; but as for the Bible, I'm amazed they still let kids read it. (shrug)

As for the comment on writers, I would like to add that even Tolkien rewrote some pretty pivoal parts of Lord of the Rings because he thought the general public would be outraged. His original ending had Gollum committing suicide with the Ring, ending Sauron's realm with an act of self-sacrifice; but he had to take into account having a suicide save the day is very unchristian.

As for Galadria, she may not be the first to have the idea. But she's the first I've seen who wants others to know it too, and in my mind that's where she crossed a line. As I said, she didn't need to put that in. I can't imagine her wanting to put that in; who would? So, why?

In fact, yes; I'll ask that question outright. Galadria, why are you having Irenicus rape Imoen?
