Aerie worships Baervan Wildwanderer. Glint worships Baravar Cloakshaadow. Aerie likes gnomes; Glint is a gnome. It's a match made in the Golden Hills.

Romance conflicts with Haer'Dalis and CHARNAME are a must.

    Aerie already has a romance with CHARNAME and a romance with Haer'Dalis, she doesn't need more party members trying to bang her. Also Aerie is a BG2 character and Glint is a SoD character so when would this random romance happen?

    I would much prefer other NPC's trying to romance Viconia or Jaheira, Dorn could try for Vicky, then I could kill him. It would be fun or even better Annoyamen could try either and then I could kill him slowly XD

    Glint did Aerie years ago, and is now ready to move onto Dorn.

    Now I really want to know what a Dorn/Charname/Aerie triangle looks like - has anyone ever tried that?

    I wouldn't wish romancing Aerie on anyone.

    This is becoming excessive, @billbisco, and I'm starting to come around to what @decado said in another thread. Please STOP posting petitions, especially since some of them are downright silly.

    This one is the silliest yet, since it's founded on a wholly incorrect premise. Glint is a follower of Baravar Cloakshadow, not Baervan Wildwanderer. They are not the same god.

    Not to mention that they aren't even in the same game!

    Mistake on my part. Let mr correct op.

    For what it's worth, I think this is the best petition @billbisco has put up. Sure, you'd have to put Glint into BG2 first for it to work (which a lot of people would support anyway), but if Beamdog did do that, why not insert a bit of Haer'Dalis style flirting while they're at it? Aerie is already totally fine with romancing Gnomish blokes, if Glint is also okay with extremely whiny crippled elves, why the hell not? Makes sense to me!

    Not everyone falls in love with you or others all the time. And there is not much conversation between Khalid and Jaheira. Like xx and charname those conversations are probably private and not for the rest of the party.

    Vicky does make a move on Sarevok in TOB though. More than once. He declines. She's not really into other NPC'S of my knowledge.

    I am by the way currently in the beginning of SOA with a male PC. I plan to bring Dorn, Aerie, Jaheira, Vicky and Neera to watch them fight over me.

    Does anyone know if turning down sex with Dorn shortly in his romance will break it off? Otherwise it won't take long seeing my PC is a skank

    The thing that is really silly is not to take into account that Glint may already have been written as gay (or happily married, or both).

    You can delay by telling him something to the extent of "Not tonight, but soon". He won't accept that answer the next time it comes up, though...

    True, although I reckon it'd be disproportionate to include additional gay romance options. Obviously the game offers a wider variety of straight romantic interests, but that's realistic.

    If any of the new SoD NPCs are gay (whether romanceable or not), then I suggest that the most obvious candidate is M'Khiin. If she's a lesbian, then that might offer a credible back-story about why a female goblin is out in the world fending for herself - goblin tribes strongly expect their female members to devote themselves to breeding more goblins, so a lesbian might not fit in very well.

    A character can be gay without being a romance option.

    Right, having more than one same-sex romance would be completely unrealistic.

    Wha?

    You mean we aren't applying the Bioware rule of shag any thing that moves?!
    Ahem. Krem? Vivienne?

    ...Ah-Krem?

    Aerie only romances me and no other. If there was an "other" they would not be long for this world.

    This happens even when your romancing her and she's moving toward the aliment shift, admitting she is actually in love and all.
    Really big oversight, had to kill Sarevok a few times. It didn't make me feel any better.

    Viconia hits on Sarevok, Hexxat hits on Viconia, Haer'Dalis and Aerie get together, Korgan has a crush on Mazzy... it's a nice touch, helps create the feeling that your companions are growing more connected as a team.

    Yes I agree with you, it is a nice little touch, but it shouldn't really happen once your in the serious bit of the romance with a NPC. With Vicky, if Hexxat hits on her while your in a romance fine sure whatever, but Viconia initiating the flirting is what I have a problem with.
    It's totally in her character to screw with your head in during the SoA bit of the romance, not a chance she would do that half way through the ToB romance.

    Sarevok wasn't an option during SoA.

    It's been a while since I've seen the dialogue, but as I recall it was more just a flirt thing and not like "yes! take me right now while your brother watches!"

    To be fair, she was probably thinking:

    But, Viconia will be able to do whatever she wants this time 'round. I'm planning on finally doing a full playthrough with the Ninde NPC mod.
