    If I remember correctly, in BG2, if you complete a romance, you can start another one without messing up the first one. Of course, actually finishing the Jaheira romance with all the bugs and stuff is another story entirely.

    Don't let you SO see this thread. Or maybe that's a picture of one of your friends.

    @Singularite, the "romances" in BG:EE are actually proto-romances consisting of only two or three lines each. The devs are setting up their three new characters for more fully realized stories in BG2:EE.

    In BG2, unless you add mods, you may only have one romance that goes all the way to the end. There are several critical story events in BG2 that all of the romances pivot around, and, while you may have more than one active in the earlier chapters, they are all written to force you to choose one before the major scripting events in later chapters.

    The mods I mentioned will allow you to have "free love", but a lot of the stories will not make sense that way. Also, as I have never played a multiple-romance modded game to a certain extremely critical story event, I have no idea how the mods would handle it, since this critical story event is definitively something that happens to the one romance interest.

    The one thing the mods would allow you to do would be to experience multiple *very* hard combats in BG2 that are related to your romance interests.

    Bottom line - I wouldn't worry about it in BG:EE. If you just *have* to see all three "romance" dialogues, (or is it just two?), I'm sure you could just look them up. The game is not scripted to have multiple romances active.

    Its not tougher due to the extra enemies, but because of the lower damage output of a smaller party. As for after the fact, just put all the, ahem, "looted items" in before you insert a certain organ into the location which the items go.

    @Merlance, yes, I get that, but, are you saying that *all* of the modded, multiply-romanced harem of npc's is going to wind up in need of that "organ/altar" deal? Because, if you were playing a party where you were doing that, you would find yourself playing solo at a critical moment where - yikes.

    LOL. I hate to spoil any BG2 virgins, but the said "critical moment" is kind of a turning point of the game. Would you actually find yourself fighting five-to-one plus Bodhi and her lessers?

    Yes. Could feasibly be Anomen, Viconia, Aerie, Anomen, and some mod NPC, vs... you. I never did more than two at a time though.

    Unfortunately you cannot store your love interest in your back pack like a familiar.

    Unless your familiar is your love interest.

    I was quite surprised to find recently that halflings can do most of the romances in BG2!

    Like what belgarathmth said, you cant have more than one romance at some point of the game. I tried that w/ Aerie, Jaheira and Vicky all in one party. When one started the romance talk, the other (usually Vicky against the other girls and vice versa) would bitch talk...interrupt. At some point, you HAVE to choose one. There is a mod that fixes this and allows multiple romances.
