Slight Poll, Really Need Opinions

[Jerr Conner]

Yes I'm still working on the Bryan Mod. For those who don't know, it's a male romance option for male pcs of a good alignment. Anyway, here's where the question that I require answers for commes in.

Which NPCs do you consider possibly homophobic? How do you think they'd react to Bryan?

I can't rely on my own interpretations because I could be wrong. Keldorn and Valygar seem most likelly...

Which NPCs do you consider possibly homophobic?

LOL!

Probably Edwin (doesn't like Haer-Dalis, who is very strange), Sarevok (he hates cheery, just look at how he talks to Imoen), Korgan.

On the plus side, I think Viconia would find it... entertaining.

Korgan - he'd either call them 'bloody pansies' or fillet them with his axe.

Jaheira? From a 'natural order of things' point of view and also because a male and female coming together represents two opposites joining to create balance and renew life. She'd just give you a lecture.

Anomen - I can't imagine the law of Amn (assuming the laws are comparable to dark ages Western ones) are particularly permissive in this regard. He'd threaten to arrest you.

Edwin - I can imagine him making pointed comments at any romance so I'm sure you can work him in here.

Aerie - she's so damned innocent she'd probably be shocked.

Edit: Good point about Viconia! You can imagine her enjoying a room-full of males!

Why would a gay character have to be cheery?

[shamrock_uk]

Might I suggest that given this is the SoA forum, a particular NPC's name should be edited from posts as that's a major ToB spoiler.

And that's a good point Rataxes, although S would still be on the list regardless IMO. He doesn't strike me as being tolerant

I'm looking forward to seeing this Jerr, especially if you manage to do it without the 'camp' stereotype [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well currently I have Bryan making passes (Jokingly) at Anomen to make him uncomfortable.

Edwin is feigning interest in Bryan in hopes of getting the Planar Jewel.

Jaheira and Bryan I've written as getting along. My logic there was she might consider it part of balance considering he's an opposite.

Korgan, yea. But Korgan seems to respect someone who has a backbone at the least.

I've also written Aerie and Bryan as getting along. I agree she'd be shocked but seeing as how she runs away from confrontation she probably wouldn't bring it up.

Viconia finding it amusing... gotta remember that.

Anyone else? Also their possible reactions.

Why would a gay character have to be cheery?

That's how they are usually stereotyped. Gay peopel are stereotyped as 'woman like', who like flowers, pink, etc. Not necessarily true... but, well, Sarevok would still gut a homo, methinks.

I'm not sure if he qualifies as Campy or not. And thanks. Hopefully it'll be finishd soon.

Ha!

Edwin: Bryan dear, please show me your jewels.

Bryan: Why, of course, my dear Edwin.

Edwin: GAAAHH!!! Note to self: Next time when making a request, be more specific. Now, where's the eye wash?
