    7. This isn't an option. I pressed the wrong button and don't know how to get rid of it. But feel free to choose it anyway.

    Shar-Teel.

    Though I wish the game would acknowledge this important change.

    If you don't want to use the options you add, leave them blank and they won't come up. At all.

    Thanks for the tip. Hopefully I'll be less ham fisted next time around.

    Don't worry about it too much @Permidion_Stark. The extra options all gave me a good laugh =)

    Usually I just keep it in inventory or store at safehouse somewhere. I rarely sell unique items.

    I'm all about the money.
    I'm all about the dum dum dada dum dum.

    Edwina is a bitter, bitter woman. :)

    Me as a newbie RPG gamer with my first ever serious western RPG game:

    "Hey a belt! Lesse now, I need to right click - ok need to identify first, I'll work that out later - well it must do something...I'll just stick it in the correct inventory slot here".

    *Gets into fight, assumes funny noise is some kind of spell effect*
    About 10 mins later: "WHEN DID MY CHARACTER GET BOOBS! This must be one of those bug thingies I hear you get in PC gaming".

    Put it on Shar-Teel. So she hates herself when she wakes up in the morning. <- because i'm a bastard XD

    It would be interesting to put it on Edwin. At the end of the saga(if you end it with him in your party) he is said to be transmuted to woman by Elminster. I wonder how would the events turn if he is already a woman. :)
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    I actually lied, though. I sell it for $$$. Shar-Teel option was so funny, though. And what about Minsc-ette? Or we can use on Khalid, because he's so girly...
  • SceptenarSceptenar Member Posts: 606
    I wear it myself, and then I make big gp making "specialized porn".
  • shawneshawne Member Posts: 3,239
    @Djimmy: He gets turned back into a man between BG1 and BG2, but I think you can actually manipulate events in BG2 so that he never turns back into a man the second time...
  • AtlanticAtlantic Member Posts: 44
    Because the game needs a female Dwarf :)
  • mch202mch202 Member Posts: 1,455
    If you put the girdle on one of the new NPCS, will it break the romance?? I wonder how they gonna handle it... :p

    Well if you're a guy and you put it on Neera the poor girl won't know which way to turn ...

    No way I'm putting it on Neera, It would be such a waste!! :)

    I wonder if they addressed the girdle in the Enhance Edition.. maybe we should ask @Dave?
    It could be amusing.

    I meant this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6j-kbVKLk0

    I suspect Edwin actually likes it...
  • immagikmanimmagikman Member Posts: 664
    No need to wear it yourself, just play a female/male character to start with if you want to go opposite. :D Sell it...Gold is king ;)
  • CoM_SolaufeinCoM_Solaufein Member Posts: 2,606
    I give it to Jaheira.
  • KamigoroshiKamigoroshi Member Posts: 5,870
    I'm giving the girdle to Dorn of course. After all, who *doesn't* want to romance a female half-orc?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    @Kamigoroshi Now I am hearing those lines from My Super Ex-Girlfriend. The hero and Super Girl are shagging in his bed with her on top, and her super-strength breaks the bed. And she immediately says, "Don't worry, I'll buy you another one!" And he replies, "What? A bed or my Pen**?"

    If Edwin is in my party I would put it on him, but I prefer to have Xan equip it... lulz. Now he *really* has something to whine about. XD
  • BjjorickBjjorick Member Posts: 1,208
    @purebredcorn geez, that would truly make xan sterotypical, having a female following you around complaining about everything you do and how......

    i need to stop now. don't want to be hurt by the wife.
  • Kitteh_On_A_CloudKitteh_On_A_Cloud Member Posts: 1,629
    I usually sell it and equip my characters with better belts which increase stats. I'm dull, I know. :p
  • AnduineAnduine Member Posts: 416
    Vote: Something else.

    I hide it in an obscure location, hoping that no one will ever find it. Not even my worst enemy deserves such a degrading and awkward experience.

    Wear the girdle, change your voice to the new gender... Have yourself a gay/lesbian romance ^^
