Short answer? Bio didn't have time to create more than one romance for women, so they went with Anomen. They predicted that the male:female customer ratio would be about 3:1, and guess what - they were wrong. They know better now.

There's actually a bit of dialogue and scripting for a Valygar romance in BG2 already...that was in the pipeline, as was a Haer'Dalis romance. I heard that David Gaider, the senior designer on the BG2 team, was putting together a Valygar romance in his spare time, but I don't know where that's up to.

There is a third-party Solaufein Mod Pack available if you're not too fussed about going out with a drow. I haven't tested it, so it's take at your own risk - nobody seems to have had any problems with it, though. These modders seem to get better and better. [img]smile.gif[/img] There's also

Below is a description of it.


The Solaufein Romance Mod Pack adds the many optional components to BGII. You may install any or all of them, your choice. The mod pack includes work by Gebhard Blucher, Kensai Ryu, Xyx, Ishan, Beige Tangerine, Sarkyn, Spork.
Solaufein of Ust Natha becomes an NPC who can join your party.
He's a Chaotic (Good/Neutral) Drow fighter/mage.
He has "plenty" of dialogue.
He will banter twice with each other party member.
He will attempt to "romance" the PC regardless of race, gender or other loved ones. If you don't like it, just tell him to go away.
He can still Dimension Door (don't abuse it!).
He can be abducted by Bodhi (watch out!).
Three Solaufein-specific challenges (one requires ToB).
Two Solaufein-specific rewards.
