Hi, everyone. This is a thread to bash and hate on Imoen. Feel free to comment, regardless of whether you dislike Imoen or not.
Reasons why Imoen is the worst party member:
1) You don't have access to her for like, half of Shadows of Amn
2) Is a Bhaalspawn but can't turn into the slayer
3) Is a Thief but can't use cool high-level thief abilities
4) Has pink hair to make up for her lack of a personality

"Heya it's me, Imoen!"
I swear I'm tempted to feed her to a wolf every time I hear that line!
(Lets Imoen die when you reach Spellhold.)
Imoen: “Heya it's-“
*Lightning strike*
Imoen: “... *sizzling sounds*“
Gorion's Ward: “Bullseye!! Now I finally have a reason to worship Talos in honest.“
Now that's the spirit!
Sounds great. What's the catch? Nalia becomes more like Imoen, even getting pink hair? Or even worse me
Perhaps that can be a perk if you are a Cleric of Talos, Imoen instantly dies.
(Now I need to run before anyone notices that I'm the author of "Imoen 4 Ever", too.)
Very interesting. I had never heard of this, and I can't remember it being promoted at the other mod sites (G3, etc.). I'd love to hear more about it. Jastey, at the risk of inciting a spoiler, do you know if she can/will still die due to dialogue options from a good party?
I don't hate Imoen, but I believe the developers' original decision to have her die in Spellhold would have been better from a writing standpoint.
(I didn't mean for this thread to turn into a mod adverstisment. Just wanted to share a bit of feeling for Imoen, too.
Now abandoning her in the midst of the stone gardens and letting a greater basilisk petrify her for eternity, well, that's a different story.
Her general lack of reaction to finding out Gorion was murdered 20 seconds ago about 100 feet away is, in hindsight, BIZARRE.
And the whole 'seven people is too big to be a party' thing at Spellhold has to be one of the most socially uncomfortable moments in any rpg.
I like the idea of this mod but for full immersion I suppose that some extra comments from the player / npcs concerning Imoen’s fate might be in order:
Charname to Bodhi: “You lifesucking fiend from the lowest depths, you mosquito, you crawling spider, you sucked the life and soul from Imoen till she withered away, have you no shame?!”
Bodhi: “Well hey, you did install the mod. And look at all this crap you’ve upgraded and would you install improved vampires too oh no...”
i don't see it as a trap. the game is pushing you to use yoshimo as he knows the area. i always tend to use him in my runs as i use his banter mods that make him fun to have around.
I'm planning a run soon in which the party's sole thief will be a thief-mage dual ... Nalia, of course. That free 50% fire resistance makes the plan work so much better.
Well you're a queer fellow.
Anyway I didn't like her in either one, felt her character was forced.
*edit* I'm not calling anyone in thread an actual sociopath. I just realized how this comment can look. The comment is pointed at the optics of making a thread specifically to hate someone. The thread concept itself seems sociopathic. That's all.
Sometimes I wish I can take Yoshimo instead of Imoen. ''WHY game, WHHYYY''.
*Sigh*. There's always a party pooper.
Listen, I just looked through your post history, and I've personally seen this lots of times before. You always seem to be arguing and creating arguments on here. This isn't an attack on you, maybe you just love arguing. But I'm not here to argue with you.
This is a serious/parody/fun thread rolled into one. If you don't really like ''the thread concept'' you are free to leave.
In fact why are you even commenting on this thread, if you have a clear problem with it? That's just going to create problems. Predictable incoming reply in 3, 2, 1...

I wasn't aware of the contract situation. It's a shame really. Yoshimo is an interesting character.
In one of my future BG2 play throughs, I will have to take him maybe as the main character (Bhaal-spawn) or as a companion.
Oh man, I know, right?! Emotionally abusive, manipulative, totally hawt!
Your boomer is showing.
