romanceable races

I think the only races that could be romanced are human, elf, or half elf. I know some mods added other races later. Can anyone tell me if any races were added to the romance list please. I always wanted all races to be able to be romanced, it kind sucks that I feel forced to play only those 3 races or I don't get a full game experience since the romances are always interesting to me.

    I think you can romance Aerie as a gnome, but I don't know the complete list of who can romance who

    Male halflings can romance everyone as well (at least according to what I have read).

    I think the bigger issue here is that there are only human/elf/half elf romance options. Finally a half orc is included, but I'm still not seeing the Dwarf Romance Option I've been waiting for all my life.

    Really? If, so is this same sex-only like the others?

    It would be good to have a definitive list of all the possible romance combinations, in fact I bet one already exists, time to get Google-ing...

    I don't think there are any same sex romances in BG. I am talking male human, halfling, etc. and Aerie, Viconia and Jaheira.

    Romance: Aerie can be romanced if the protagonist is a male Human, Elf, Half-elf, Halfling or Gnome. Please see Extremist's Romance Guide (available here) for details.

    http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/Walkthrough2/npcs/jaheira.php

    Romance: Jaheira can be romanced if the protagonist is male and a Human, Half-elf, Elf or Halfling.

    I think Viconia can be romanced by a Human, Halfling, Half-Elf or Half-Orc.

    I want a gnome and dragon romance. Cmon they're both intelligent. Wouldn't really work well tho. There's... problems.

    Reminds me of Shrek with the dragon and donkey... Nevermind.

    a halforc - gnome romance?

    Thanks @AHF - I didn't realise halflings could romance all those NPCs! I also didn't realise Viconia won't date elves nor that she *would* date a Half-Orc! LOL!

    Are there any male NPCs a female CHARNAME can romance in BG2? AFAIK in BGEE females will be able to court all three of the new NPCs (probably not at once, though!), but am unsure what, if any, race restrictions there will be. I'm probably going to run an evil (or maybe chaotic neutral) elf fighter/mage through my first run of BGEE/BG2EE...

    BTW does CHARNAME's Charisma score affect romances at all?

    If I recall correctly:

    Aerie - Human, Half-elf, Elf, Gnome
    Jaheira - Human, Half-elf, Elf, Halfling
    Viconia - Human, Half-elf, Half-orc
    Anomen - Human, Half-elf, Elf

    (However Viconia romancing half-orcs is glitched, it's fixed on the internets but I believe if you just play the vanilla game it won't work.)

    Charisma does not affect romances at all. Neither does Reputation or even Alignment. Yes, Viconia can get a crush on your Lawful Good Paladin. Yes, Anomen can get a crush on your Chaotic Evil Priest of Cyric.

    Adalon, Abazigal, and Draconis took human form at times throughout the game, so they could probably conceive a child with a gnome while in that form, if that's what you're referring to. My guess is that's how Bhaal was able to conceive Abazigal in the first place.

    Anomen can be romanced by a female CHARNAME in BG2, but I should caution that he is a jerk.

    My female elf F/M will try to romance Dorn, if that's possible, I think... :-)

    I tried romancing Anomen once. He was such a fool I hired a male prostitute just to see his reaction XD

    Brunhilda the Horny Dwarven Barmaid agrees with this assessment.
