Shag, Marry, Kill: The Baldur's Gate Version

Okay, classic game. You choose among the romance interests in the Baldur's Gate Trilogy one to spend a single, memorable, steamy night with, one to spend the rest of your life with till death do you part, and one to chunk in any way you see fit. Try to choose options compatible with your gender/preference/orientation/whatever. Feel free to explain your choices :)

I'll begin:
Shag: Jaheira (I feel like she'd have some crazy primal nature side. Hopefully not too freaky... being called "omnipresent authority figure" may be a bit much)
Marry: Aerie (I don't like blondes, but she's a sweetheart and my kids may get wings... sweet!)
Kill: Viconia (Almost shagged her... but then she may kill me first, so there you go. Close call just couldn't bring myself to kill Neera)

Neera ain't wifey material, too non-committed and wild surges may not be safe during conception...

    Do we have to kill? Seems a bit harsh that just because you wouldn't marry or sleep with one of them they have to die... can't we just be friends?

    Anyway, Aerie is obviously the one to marry even though I don't really like her romance in game. She's sweet, kind, into DnD (well, she's in it), and she'll take care of you when you get a bit older or come down with dreadful man-flu. Or Nalia if we can have mods, because she has a castle.

    As for 'shag'... toss up between Viconia and Neera. Initially I thought Vic, because y'know, drow obviously have a reputation for this sort of thing so it seems the most exciting option. But then I remembered I don't really like pain or anything that might kill me, so I'll go with Neera (wild surges are a risk of course, but it's a relatively small risk).

    And kill... I like Jaheira too much, so I'll kill Anomen just because...

    I don't suppose we can choose mods? No? Fine.

    Shag: Viconia. I really shouldn't have to explain this.

    Marry: Aerie. She's adorable. I can see her fussing around with her and Charname's children, and being cute as a button while doing it.

    Kill: Jaheira. I don't dislike her, but it's her or Neira, and I don't think I've ever had Neira in the party, so it would just feel mean. Also, she's likely to end up with Khalid if she dies, right? Or maybe turn into a koala or something. I forget how Silvanus's afterlife works.

    Not fair, Hexxat's already dead!

    Undead... I think that means you can unundead her... or something.

    Shag: Neera. Or Aerie.
    Does Clara count?

    -Or, as @Coutelier said, if mods were an option, Nalia.
    -Oh, fine. Neera.
    Marry: Aerie. Or Neera. Neera is mai waifu, you know!
    -Fine, fine. Aerie. Neera can not be caged! That, and there's a Wild Mage Deposit. :(
    Kill: Anomen. I would DUEL HIM WITH SWORDS!
    -ANKLE SWEEP!
    "I guess I expected more from you, Foul Knave!"
    "So did I, Sir Knight, so did I."
    Pommel to sinuses!
    "Oh ****, I lied!"

    Seeing as the marry choice most likely also includes one of the other choices on a regular basis it kinda diminishes that, no?

    Marry: Aerie.
    Kill dead with Girdle of Femininity, Poison, Flesh to Stone and Disintegrate: Anomen.
    Kill: Neera.
    Shag: Viconia.

    Quayle would be a better candidate for kill, but you spesified it had to be one of the game's romance options. So basically you spared the life of an obnoxious noem. Be proud.

    Edited to follow rule posted below. I'm so nice.

    btw, straight males cannot choose Anomen! Too easy a choice then.

    mwahahaha, I always wanted to be the cruel, evil Dungeon Master! Finally my time!

    I hate you :(

    Can a mild crush on Keith Hamilton-Cobb qualify me for picking Anomen for "kill"? :(

    Shag: Viconia, no explanation needed

    Marry: Mazzy, got big love for my shorties

    Kill: Anomen, I truly dislike this character and have wanted to kill him on many occasions

    Shag: Eh. I'd do most of them. Seriously. Do I have to choose one? I'd sleep with CN Anomen once; it's bound to be an entertaining experience. Viconia, yeah, if I could win her over when Hexett couldn't.

    Marry: if Jaheria leaned towards the ladies, I'd marry her. She'd be good wife material. As it is, I'll go with Rasaad, who is not crazy, sexist, or overly whiny, which is pretty good when it comes to romance interests in this game.

    Kill: Dorn, Hexett, and Viconia (at least at start) are all awful people, so I'd flip a three sided coin. I swear one exists.

    @kidcarnival it was intended that Anomen and Rasaad would be shag/marry/kill options for gay players too, but I didn't explain well. This is supposed to be a challenging game, not impossible!

    Shag: Dorn. It's going to be a rough, wild night which might be fun but he's clearly not long-term material.

    Marry: If I can have ANY romance option, Anomen despite the fact we're both male. I think with a lot of guidance on exactly how to be a better person he would mature into someone who really would care about Charname. Anomen's never really had stable people around him, especially growing up, so I think he would be a rewarding partner if you could get past his issues and show him that stability. At the worst we could always just judge people together.

    Kill: Neera. I find her less endearing and more annoying than anything else, to be honest. I can't stand her -err, she's a threat to the realms with her wild surges. Yeah. That's it.

    I'd shag all of them including the stuck up noblewomen roaming the cities of Sword Coast with Viconia being my fb
    marry none
    and kill myself when I'd be too old and disfunctional to fully enjoy my life

    Frankly, that's still not a whole lot to pick from for gay guys and straight women. It would be exactly 3 - Anomen, Dorn, Rasaad and none of them is anywhere near my type (starting with me simply not being attracted to straight guys, and Dorn, without going to TMI territory, is more or less the opposite of what I like). Considering how many more romances there are for straight guys, I'd say non-romancable NPCs are fair game for the others.

    @kidcarnival in the normal game you are only supposed to have three options and three outcomes, and the options are supposed to be tough (either all 1. great options or all 2. horrible options). People usually use celebrities (talented and beautiful or messed-up and odd)
    example 1: Kate Beckinsale, Brunette Jennifer Lawrence and Shakira
    example 2: Snooki, Miley Cyrus and Casey Anthony
  • KidCarnivalKidCarnival Member Posts: 3,747
    Yeah, I know (though I admit I can't figure out which are the 3 great and which the 3 horrible options), but straight male players have 4 options, straight female players have 3, gay male players have 1 and lesbian female players have 1, too. It should at least be balanced in numbers.

    This is why playing evil is the best!
