Hi, Luvian, WELCOME TO IRONWORKS [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img]
I appreciate your support. Yes, rape is, as many have pointed out, a powerful ingredient for our story. We didn't just do it for effect, however. I can't really make the connection between the Imoen that I knew in BGI and that of BGII without some truly shattering experience, and, as I said above, she really reminded me of some rape victims that I know. Interesting point of identifying with Irenicus. The denial is very similar to that which I often find in others in RL, making it difficult for rape victims to report their stories. It is often hard for others to believe that someone that they know could do something that they would never do.
