(forgive me if that isn't the exact wording, Mr Compton [img]smile.gif[/img] ) I laughed. Hard. let me tell you, kelsy won't have anything to do with Firkraag, butterknives or no....

Close enough. [img]smile.gif[/img] Glad you liked it.[/QUOTE]it is really good, you have my ultimate congratualtions I'd offer to beta test the ToB part (my pc is due to be reformatted tomorrow..fun...) but I don't want to spoil it [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, I never kick her out, either. But she tries to leave after the demon attack. The only way I know this is people posting about it. I have never gone through a game without the Delicious Drow at my side. Galadria did twice with Anomen, that's why she is so violent.

LOL, glad you gals have a ... viable ... candidate, now.

Just for you Dundee, here is the relevant dialogue:

VICCY: I have a confession to make to you. Give me your ears for a moment and listen, if you possess the sense. (VICONI91)
1. I have no interest in more of your games, Viconia.
VICCY: That is too bad. I refuse to allow you to push me aside, regardless of your sullen mood or overbearing demeanor. You will listen to me, . ****LIES
2. I'm listening, I suppose. ****LIES

****LIES
VICCY: You wish to know of me? You wish to learn what I am like? I shall tell you the truth of it, then. I have lied to you, , lies upon lies. My tale of the farmer in Beregost? A lie. I laid with him many times, seducing him to get the things I needed. It was his wife and townsfolk that drove me out. Like a succubus I have whored my way to Amn, taking what favors I could gather through sweat and passion. I earned passage with tongue and moans, , with more males than you can count. And you are nothing compared to them. Any of them. So, then. What do you think of that, ? What do you think of me now?
1. I think you are a foul and perverse creature, Viconia. Do not speak to me again. (or)
2. I think you want this relationship of ours, such as it is, to be over with. So be it.
VICCY: So much the better. It lightens my heart to know you were as cowardly as I expected. (romance screwed, she stays in party)
3. These things do not matter to me, Viconia. Why did you not tell me of them before? (or)
4. I think you are lying. Why are you trying to push me away?
VICCY: I am telling you that I have had rivvil by the dozens, that I allowed their saliva to cover me, allowed them to use me for their pleasures!! And I enjoyed it!! I am a creature of dark lusts, you fool! Why are you not disgusted by this?! Turn away from me, spit on me and curse my name, I command you!!
1. Very well. If you want this relationship, such as it is, to be over with, so be it!
VICCY: Finally you show some sense! I am drow, foolish jaluk...never forget that! Jal khaless zhah waela! (romance screwed, she stays in party)
2. No! I will not allow you to push me away, Viconia! (or)
3. I am not those other men. I have seen the true you that lies within, and this is not it. You do not need to do this!
VICCY: Bastard! Stubborn bastard!! Jal khaless zhah waela! Why must I trust you?! WHY?! In trust lies death!! Leave me alone! I will not be dominated! Stay away!!

LT=49
NOTE: This dialog is triggered by resting - it may happen anywhere you rest, even in dungeons

VICCY: (sigh) I...I cast my white flag before you. I can struggle no more. You have...you have defeated me. (VICONI92)
1. What are you talking about? Defeated you? (LT=51) ****THEHEHE
2. Ohhh no, I'm not falling for this again. Just stay away from me, you crazy bitch. (LT=51)
VICCY: I...I understand, . I shall simply apologize for my behavior, then, and leave you alone from now on.
1. I think that's for the best for all concerned.
VICCY: Yes, perhaps it is for the best. Aluve' mrann d'ssinss. I shall bother you no more. (romance screwed, she stays in party, party rests)
2. Wait...maybe I've been hasty. Tell me what you mean by 'defeated'...I don't understand. ****THEHEHE

****THEHEHE
VICCY: Yes, defeated me. I do not know what it is about you, , but I opened up to you...I let you inside with honesty and candor. I am not used to such. Trust is death. I have been betrayed again and again, and yet I began to trust in you. I...I could not allow it to happen. I was confused, I tried to drive you away. Those...things...I said when we last spoke? Lies. I told you the truth of things the first time. You saw through my deception, and would not be driven away. I owe you...so much. You are safe harbor in a storm of terrifying power. I begin to feel that I need you...and this enthralls me and enrages me all at once... If you will have me, I shall not push you away again...stay with me tonight, , let us be together in earnest. Let me savor the unfamiliar fear that goes with this trust.
1. This will never work out. I think it's best that this relationship doesn't continue, Viconia.
VICCY: Yes, perhaps it is for the best. Aluve' mrann d'ssinss. I shall bother you no more. (romance screwed, she stays in party, party rests)
2. I don't trust you, Viconia. Not after the last time.
VICCY: You would not let me repel you, no matter how I tried. I am defeated by your stubborn will and strange regard. My need is real, ...stay with me tonight.
1. I'm sorry, Viconia. I think it is best if this relationship does not continue...it will never work out.
VICCY: Yes, perhaps it is for the best. Aluve' mrann d'ssinss. I shall bother you no more. (romance screwed, she stays in party, party rests)
2. I don't think the time is right for this. ****ULTIMATUM
3. Very well...I shall.
VICCY: Come to me, then, my mrann d'ssinss. You have defeated me...now taste your victory... (RomanceActive=2, party rests)
See?

Yep [img]smile.gif[/img]
I liked Viconia all the way through BG series, she was..interesting.

Ah, thanks Galadria. I guess I must missed the following line,

~~ Those...things...I said when we last spoke? Lies. I told you the truth of things the first time. You saw through my deception, and would not be driven away. ~~

Hmmmm, I found the Viconia romance to be the darkest, and I think they did a good job with it. Pity then, that most players think the romances are only about how fast they can 'score'.

If there was one thing I could add in, it will be the option to not have pre-martial hanky-panky in any of the romances, being the uppity conservative fellow I am.

GOOD LORD! A thought just occured to me, is there PMHP in the Anomen romance?!?!

In conclusion, I still prefer the Aerie romance as my first choice, then Viconia; and assuming my PC is a male, I would rather take Anomen than Jaheira. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Sorry, but her personality just clashes with mine, and Anomen is an okay guy after his knighthood, although Carlo Sanciona( my female Cavalier) has threathened me with Virus Infection if I sic her with him.

LOL, all that I know, Dundee, is that , the first time Galadria played through with him, he compared her to a flower, and she told him that she was no flower and that his poetry stank. The second time, she was curious and didn't, and he asked her to sleep by his side so that he could feel her body. It was one of those party-is-going-to-rest thingies, like Vickey's. I still remember how mad she(Galadria) was, saying, and I quote, "If that smarmy creep thinks that I am going to let him lay one finger on me...OHHHH!!!" That's when she stripped him and kicked him out of her party. She was in the graveyard at the time, (What a Rudolph Valentino that Anomen is!) and she went and got Viconia and gave her all of Anomen's stuff. She never went back.

[Jerr Conner]

The flower line can be summed up in one thing:

Considering Anomen is a knight, he's not likely going to tell someone he's looking to 'score' with that they're like a flower. Knights tend to tell the truth.

What Anomen is saying, in my opinion, is that he compares you to a flower because he thinks you're as beautiful as a flower.

If anyone is going to go into 'strength' arguments here, then yes a flower is strong. A flower can have a strong scent, or strong roots, or just strength to stand up to anything that comes in their way.

The protaginist is like a flower in this case as well.
