    How about fiends? Playing a fiendish character would really be very very nice.

    What do you mean there are no REALLY hard fights? Do you mean to tell me you never had to reload to beat kangaxx and shandalar the black?

    Well, while the dirty humans are breading with anything that walks, how about putting some cool races in the games. Let's see some half trolls (regeneration and only killable with fire :)), or my personal favorite: Half Gibberlings! Woohoo. Let the fun begin :D

    What gets me is when they take away your options instead of add to them. I understand there's only so much you can include...but someone's race really can shape a character and the more races available the more real your campaign world seems...IMHO...

    But some races, it just doesn't make sense to be. I mean, the half orcs seem a bit dodgy as they're not tolerated on the sword coast and your character's meant to have done the whole of BG1. Maybe races which don't fit the protagonist should be multiplayer only.

    If I can gripe about BGII here...
    What about Anomen being the ONLY Romance for a female leader, hey? That REALLY pisses me off! What woman in her right mind could fall for HIM? I had my lead character try - I really did! But my instinct was to keep telling him to shut up, so in the end, I couldn't stand it any more and ditched him. What I am saying is this: It's not FAIR that male leaders get several rather attractive girs to choose from when female get one deeply, deeply 'pixie prick'ish twerp! :p :eek:

    [Fljotsdale - If you're going to post again right after one of your own posts in a thread, we'd prefer that you edit you're last post rather than post a new one. See that pen and paper icon on the top of your post? You can use it to edit your own posts. - BTA]

    Thanks for the info, Blackthorne! :) I thought it was to cut&paste a part of someone else's post into your own so you could reply to the point raised, no matter where it was in the thread, without everyone having to search for the original. Now i know why it doesn't work, lol! Do you have that facility on these forums?

    [​IMG] Hmm, I thought we had hear enough of these romance complaints form all the excerpts from posts form the bioware designers that Darien so graciously posts for our reading pleasure. I have to side with the designers here. One is enough as, honestly, how many women bought the game compared to men do you think? And besides, if it's the romance quality you are talking about, comsider this. I could choose from a sing-song whinny disfigured elf, a fiendishly evil hot drow chick(who I would have chosen if it wasn't for that damn neutral good algnment), and, well, someone I left turned to stone in the origional BG. What type of choices are those? Would you have rather romanced the always annoying and uppity Haer Dalis, the boring Valygar, the even more boring and uptight Keldorn, possible the most boring Cernd, that rather repulsive Dwarf, the mentally challenged Minsc, Yoshimo (a knife in the back for you, my dear), or Edwin (not sure how that one would go after his life changing experience). Let's face it. None of the characters in the game make for particuarly good romances. Wait...hold on a sec now. Hmm, actually, now that I think about it, Jan would make a hell of a romance script. Now that would be funny. I'm changing my mind. I now side with all the women complainers! Let the battle cry go out: a Jan Jansen romance in the expansion!!!!

    Although I'm not female, I can certainly understand their side. I'd hate to romance Anomen too (did I just say that OUT LOUD?). I would think that Haer'Dalis, Minsc, or Valygar would be more viable options. An evil woman could easily have no romance options, as Anomen would go crazy when he failed his test. At least no lasting ones.
