I think it was deliberate, that the PC's refusal or acceptance of Anomen's intimate advances had no bearing on their commitment.

As for the romance going committed first LT after passing the test, that's news to me! And inconvenient for you.

I've got an idea, but I'll post in the German forum.

I thought it was funny. Goofiness is entirely appropriate, sometimes.

I have a new understanding about things that can delay progress. I have just spent the last 4 hours trying to find random series of letters/characters introduced into my J file by my kitten jumping on the keyboard while I was out of the room. Compiling with WeiDU has not hit any syntax errors on compilation, so I hope I found all of them, but I won't be sure until I print it out again and examine it character by character.

Careful saving practices might have averted this, but I did not count on my cat going into WeeHaa mode in the 3 seconds my back was turned.

An interesting insight into why things take longer than you think they should.

Kudos to cmorgan and everyone who is involved in the technical aspects of this release.

I don't mean to disrespect my fellow playtesters, but our job is a pleasant one: play a game we love. Oh, the horrors!

Hunting down and squashing all those bugs is something else entirely. Cmorgan and all the rest, I salute your hard work and dedication. I'd like to buy you all a virtual beer.

I know what will help:

Get yourself a post office box that will take packages, and post the address to that post office box. We will all send you sweets and every delicacy we can imagine, and you will have nothing better to do than sit down to spend some quality time with Aklon (whom I will never refer to as Ak, Akky, or any other horrible nickname) and all the goodies we send to aid your concentration.

I have two truly evil recipes for truffles. One is dark chocolate, the other white with pistachios. Do you think Akon would like them?

If I may make a suggestion, play it twice! Or more. There's time.

I'm having a lot of fun mixing it up, playing with characters I'd never tried before, mostly because they didn't make the cut for BG2.

And yet, the fact is that one of my favorite NPCs (Xan) is already integrated seamlessly into BG2. Kivan is, too, from my understanding (although I have yet to try it).

So I would not be afraid to try something new just because your favorite NPC never makes it to BG2 (Tiax doesn't count).

You're going to miss a lot that way. That is the party you were intended to have when you started BG2. That much is clear. But there is so much more to experience.

But, if you want to do it that way, I would play a paladin with a decent intelligence and romance Dynaheir with the BG1 NPC project Phase 3.

It will be so different from your first time through. You'll wonder how you could have left the game sit on the shelf all this time.

Quality is worth the wait.
