Ooo, I got a thread sister (and maybe brother). Cheers! Time to adore Coran and make Cernd interesting!
Confession: I've only sided with Bhodi once, but not out of any desire to not side with her- rather, 90% of the time in BG2 I play thieves and she rejects me. WIth Hexxat to pull thieving duty, that might change now.
Confession: If I side with the Shadow Thieves, I never go back and wipe them out in Chapter Six. After getting me to Imoen and Irenicus, they can continue being evil bastards all they want; I owe them.
Confession: I like to get my character drunk whenever she goes to a tavern. Partially because with Romantic Encounters, half the time one of her party members wants to get in her pants that night and being drunk is a good enough reason to sleep with them, and partially because I think after all the craziness she's endured in my life she can be as alcoholic as she wants.
Confession: I have a really hard time not taking the ToB NPC along. His voice compels me, and he can be redeemed, and he's just plain badass.
Confession: I don't really like Imoen. I like her better in BG2 then BG1, but still her variety of 'cutesy little sister' just doesn't work for me.
Confession: Despite that, she's almost always in my parties, as I can't fathom my good or neutral protagonist leaving her alone after her soul has been stolen.
Confession: I am working on a mod NPC (with romance, so I already suck to half the world), and I have been stalled for like a month on one simple talk. I am horrible at this.
Confession: I find Rasaad adorable, but I think he exists in some strange world of his own imaginings half the time.
Confession: I really wish there was a Jaheira friendship pack where you could talk about the city, the Harpers, Khalid, her dreams about him but not romance her. I love the character, and the nature of her first few love talks, but I don't like the romance overall: I just feel it's too soon, and I loved Khalid. Something to write if I ever get done with this stupid NPC.
Confession: I still, a decade and some later, resent Bioware for not finishing the Haer'Dalis romance and the Valygar romance. I wish Beamdog had finished Valygar's, at least.
Confession: I plot out a dozen ideas for NPC's to add to the game, but I never actually do it (well, until now). Writing interjections and banters is fun. Writing lovetalks and friendship talks is not. ;_;
Confession: I'm drinking straight vodka while modding. Cheers, ya'll. Wait, does that count as a confession?
Confession: I know how to find Kangaxx, but I have never actually killed him because I can only stomach fighting demiliches about once in a saga playthrough and Watcher's Keep usually fills that role.
Confession: I know how to get Crom Faeyr, but I have only ever done it once because I enjoy fighting Mind Flayers only slightly more than I like fighting demiliches.
Confession: I have not completed a BioWare romance since 2002.
Confession: I think both Tashia and Kelsey are nice enough, but they definitely show their age- and use Interjections sometimes when I would rather they use I_C_T, so I don't usually install them.
(I like Adrian, what little I've played for him, for my sorc needs.)

I do, too!
And like...I can imagine in the Valygar romance, there would be an option where Suna Seni could be the, eh...maid of honour. And when you decide on this, Valygar says, "I bet that shall do the trick!". I like Valygar.
Confession: I always side with Bodhi, because I think, "Well, I am a Child of Murder, and vampires are awfully deathy!".

@SCARY_WIZARD Have you played BG2 Romantic Encounters? It has a Valygar romance of sorts, spanning through BG2 and ToB: in which he loves you, but is afraid to commit because of his curse. In ToB, you can plan to run away with him, and have a happy ending together.
I wish he had a full romance with flirt packs and master wraith encounters and everything, but I'm pretty satisfied with that. It's good.

Things I Did In Various Playthroughs With Romantic Encounters Installed: Flirt with Firkraag -Lais -Chanelle -Guildmistress Busya -Sheri -Anishai
Confession: I now picture Anishai as a flirty Monk thanks to Romantic Encounters. ...

I nevarrrrrrrrrr fight Kanaxx.
I killed kangaxx once. (through Im only on my third playthrough) It was chapter 3. Trololollolloloolololololololololo
I Confession: I tend to kill Kangaxx using a Protection from Magic scroll on myself, and just smack him to death.
- Boooooooh!!! Blackraven that's so lame! Here the game offers you the opportunity for an epic fight, and you cheese your way to the Ring of Gaxx. Bah, you don't even deserve that ring!

If I could, I'd just equip everybody capable of using them with wands of illumination and then burn the extremely powerful three-charge abilities on him. >:D
Confession: I play melee heavy parties because I'm lazy and suck at micromanaging my party sometimes. The first time I beat ToB I had Keldorn, Korgan, Mazzy, Sarevok, Anomen, and my sorcerer Charname. I was bad so I didn't use a lot of self-buffs which made Keldorn's dispel almost entirely in my favour. We got by on just wiping out magical defences and swarming them. I was so bad. Shit, I still am pretty much :P

I killed the lich form by setting 3 traps, going to the inn, setting three traps, until it wouldn't let me anymore. Then I had arie tank with spell immunity and used 3 of rasaads sun soul ray. Like I said: I have all the cheese.

Confession: I never killed Kangaxx using a scroll of Protection from Magic. It is easier to use Protection from Undead and blast him in pieces very easily, in both of is forms.

@Empyrial this describes mt first play-through to a T. Undead Hunter, Keldorn, Minsc, Sarevok, Anomen hit things, Imoen does other stuff.
Confession: I have never in my life used a Protection from Magic or Undead scroll.... in fact the only scroll I have ever used was to save Branwen. The rest are for memorizing and gold.

I've always found using a Scroll of Protection from Undead a bit sketchy. According to the description "'it creates 3' radius protection circle around the target protecting it from all physical but not magical attacks from undead". Is that description incorrect? I fear Kangaxx more for his magical than for his physical attacks and therefore always opt for a Protection from Magic scroll.
EDIT: Could someone point out how Protection from Undead works? It seems I'm mistaken about what it does.
@Blackraven The protection from undead scroll also makes you undetected by undeads. They won't be abble to target you or cast spells at you. It you protect you from an area of effect spell, but it will protect you from imprisonnement because it's single targetted.
On topic: Confession I never used spell immunity on anyone. When I had to tank a demilich, i just summoned stuff and recruited other NPCs in my party so they would get imprisonned instead of me. (in vanilla BG2 and TOB) I never knew about spell immunity or the protection scrolls. Haven't gottent that far yet in BG2EE, but in the Black Pits 2 i just stopped time and attacked with energy blades or melf minute metor, while my other characters got imprisonned.
Confession:I just temporarily abondoned a game instead of doing the mind flayer dungeon in the underdark in favor of playing Shadowrun Returns. I hate mind flayers. So much. I honestly wonder how anyone doing a no reload challenge can deal with them. One failed saving throw and everything is ruined forever.
@Necomancer Confession: I used to be pretty okay with mindflayers until I found out that berserk (and the like) still doesn't help when your intelligence is low. I can't remember the amount of times Minsc got his brain devoured...
Confession: I am a completionist. I.e. I really REALLY need to do every single quest that is reasonable within Charname's character/alignment.
Confession: on my last playthrough I forgot the Twisted Rune quest and the mindflayers in the sewers (BG2). Also didn't do Jan Jansen's quests, but that was because he had disappeared from the government district.
@Necomancer thieves and rangers have an easy time: boots of speed + immunities (through Chaotic Commands or items). Hide, backstab, run, hide backstab, run etc. Works best/fastest with good backstabbers, but even with non-backstabbers (Swashies, Rangers other than Stalkers).
Confession: I've never played a female CHARNAME. Sorry, but all the male voicesets of BG2 except MALE5/Default are better than the females'. MALE1 is the best though.
Weeeeird. I literally only like Male1 and Male2 and overall think the female voices are way better. Male2 is the best ever though.
Confession : I'm always afraid that some kind of bug allows Jondalar to kill you in the prologue of BG1.
Confession : Sorcerer is one of my favorite class, and still i have never played one.
True with me too! Still Bards > Sorcerers. And yeah I think that you CAN kill Jondalar, I once tried killing him with ADHW, and it worked. Same goes for Jospil in the tutorial (for exception that if you kill Jospil you can't end the tutorial).

Confession: I'm actually more bothered by the fact that I can't play BG2EE with Kivan. Q_Q
Confession: I'm currently playing BG2EE with a Cleric/Mage, and Adrian (NPC mod) will totally stay in the party.
