Anomen for his abusive childhood,
Nalia to get over her overcomensation to the "unfortunate" because she feels guilty for being the "poor little rich girl"
Aerie to get over her WINGS
Jaheira to get over HERSELF
Jan to give up setting himself up for an unrequited love
Cernd to get some backbone and sense of family responsibility

Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung would have had a field day with the BG2 troupe!

What about Viconia and her repugnant, sexist, abusive culture, Keldorn and his desire for "doing good" winning out over raising the family he sired, and Edwin's megalomania?

Being a female and all, I play female leads, which meant having Anomen drooling condescendingly all over me if I took him along. There was no way I could stop myself constantly bursting his conceited bubble. After just one try, I never took him again, lol!
Sigh..... why couldn't lead women have had a romance with Haer'Dalis? Interesting face, nice chat line, and you know from day one its only flirting, lol! I used to keep wishing i was Aerie!
Sad, ain't it?!

Oooh! Can I join the "I hate Anomen club"? I need to join the "I hate Aerie club" too. Who do I contact for an application?

The sad thing is both these twits are in my party. They're just too useful...Anomen is a great tank/cleric and Aerie a great backup-mage/healer. They both rank 0 on personality though.

Oh and don't blame Viccy for being sexist...Drow males really are inferior.

OT: How do I get Anomen to pass which and what test?

I think he is ok really... Please, not the face!

Don't let him kill Saerk and his family. Tell him to take it to the magistrate.

(sighs)Must rise to Viconia's defense, again. Vicky is indeed the product of a sexist, abusive culture, but you should notice that, at great cost, she has fled it, to live among sexist, abusive surfacers. That's why she is in all of my parties, except, I regret to say, my first one. I had Anomen , then, and I now regard it as powergaming. I overlooked his horrible personality (sorry, Melusine, don't you flame me again,I can't stand it(weeps while wiping elflet soot off of her armor)because I thought he was the strongest cleric. I now think that I was wrong, sort of like an abused wife (which I am not, but I see every day) who thinks she has no other choice. Well, like I told Kaz, I do. (hugs Viconia, making her take a swipe at me with Crom Faeyr)

And why is that? I am no fan of his personality at all. I am just getting a wee bit tired of all the anti and pro NPC clans we have had, but even that I have no real problem with.
So why are you suddenly spouting false accusations of me flaming you all over the place? No wait, nevermind - take this to PM or email now if you'd care to explain - as you should have done in the first place if anything I said offended you.

Alright i have been warned about bad things said about Aerie!
Waves the ALSB holy Malet. Who said it?

Mourn Yauntyyr · 01-08-2002, 06:52 PM

I couldn't resist saying it! It was me! I can't take her needy, weepy, whiny personality any longer! Next time she says something to Anomen, I'm just gonna let him kill her!
