I'm happy to see a woman as a vilan!

BG is designed and need to exploit divergente cultures/perceptions. It cannot go totally out of discrimination. I'm happy that the vilan is a woman! I'm not happy if all vilans are women to "balance" things out. This result in anti-sexism becoming pure sexism!

    Did you not play BG2 at all or?
    Who am I kidding this is obviously just a discussion made to stir drama.

    A villain woman is fine, although I'm tired of warrior women and wizard men. Reversing gender roles has become the norm.

    I think Sarevok's girlfriend, Tamoko, from BG1 was supposed to be Yoshimo's sister, which explains his involvement in BG2.

    Don't care if it's a man, woman, alien, amoeba, or a rock. What matters to me is whether or not I can get emotionally invested in the story.

    Apparently people just aren't getting the hint that we don't need more threads like this....

    I'm not done with the game, but I'm not convinced yet that she's a villain. She's merely an antagonist to me so far.
