Eek, where'd everyone go?

Anyhoo, for those interested, new DG post on character creation. Interesting tidbits on early DA:O characterizations and on the decision process for who's a follower/LI etc. Plus, a nice little reiteration that they don't "pander to fangirls." (fangirls FTW!)

I'm really loving all his tumblr posts. He may just make it onto my 'hero' list.

I like his Tumblr posts, they're always insightful.

It's really cool being able to see into a bit of the developers' thought process when it comes to the writing.  And it certainly helps us post better feedback and critiques once we know where they're coming from.  Something that's self-evident developer-side might not be user-side, and vice versa.

Also, has anyone else booted up the Baldur's Gate Extended Edition yet?  Is it still compatible with all those lovely mods?

On the Baldur's Gate topic: Does anyone know if Rasaad is romanceable by guys? I would be sad if he isn't. I heard that there would be a bisexual option, so I'm hoping for him.

Do they even have romances in BG:EE? I thought it was a upgrade of BG original...?

I heard that there was, but I'm not sure. It doesn't matter if there is no romance, but if there are romance options in the game, I want to at least be able to romance M/M. I heard that the relationship will carry over to Baldur's Gate 2.

That would be cool. I haven't read much about it myself, only vaguely recalling that romances originally didn't start til BG2... I think?

Where's berelinde when you need her?

I'm not sure how accurate TVtropes is but while the original base game featured no romance, the upcoming Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is reportedly going to include romance.

People have been discussed romance on the forum for a while, and there are hints that one of the characters would be bisexual. I'm hoping for Basaad. They said that females will get another romance in DG2 which will carry over from previous game. I would pick this game up if I can romance Basaad as well. It's not important, but I like to be able to play as myself.

To the best of my recollection the only character who's specifically mentioned as having a romance is the wild mage girl.  There are plenty of romances available in the modding community (of varying qualities).  I've played through a lot of them, but as far as I can recall, very few are same-sex for guys.  There's one M/M romance mod for Baldur's Gate 2, but reviews are decidedly...mixed.  Solaufein, which is a much older NPC romance mod for Baldur's Gate 2, is also M/M romanceable, but that's just because his mod fires off the romance irrespective of gender, race, or alignment.  The dialogue's the same.

LOL! Yeah, I get that a lot. I kind of like the ambiguity because it lets me avoid gender stereotyping, which has always been a sensitive subject. This thread seems to be free of that, though, so I don't mind hanging out and acting girly. Or as girly as I get.

The original Baldur's Gate did not feature romances. It barely had any character development at all. Each of the 26 NPCs had a unique soundset and a few had minor, character-specific interaction in the overall game plot, but that was about it. Baldur's Gate 2 was the first game to offer banter as we know it. It also offered romances - three for male protagonists (a cloyingly sweet virgin, a bossy older woman, and a perverted drow) and one for female protagonists (a would-be knight-in-shining-armor). Eventually, somebody figured out how to convert BG to the BG2 engine, which made BG2 character features - banter, romances - possible. A group of modders at the Gibberlings Three modding community created a comprehensive mod that added banter, quests, and 6 romances (3 per gender) to the Baldur's Gate game. All of the romances were strictly heterosexual.

As for the BG:EE thing, just about everyone seems to be better informed about it than I am. They are introducing three new characters, all of whom will be romanceable, although only one is supposed to be bi. I too am hoping it's Rasaad, but knowing my luck, it will probably be the girl.

Oddly enough, I'm not big on playing as myself. I prefer to play as a gay or bisexual male.

Edit: If you're looking for a M/M romance for BG2, I'd skip Solaufein, which is kind of gender-irrelevant, and try Nathaniel or Faren. They can be found at Spellhold Studios.

Edit2: I'm kind of leery about romances that span both games. I've written one (a male cleric who romances female protagonists), and the pacing is murder. It's tough to write it so that the content doesn't get repetitive... or to write it so that the second game doesn't require the first. My concern is that by attempting to make one romance span both games, it will feel incomplete. I guess we'll find out.

I guess I like to play as myself is because there are tons of games where you can play as a straight woman and numerous games where you can play as an alpha straight male. I finally feel included because I am being represented in the game. I like to play as females in some games because I like the idea of strong women saving the world. I'm adhorred at the stereotypical alpha white males saving the world.

Thanks for the recommendation, I would look into the mods. ATM, the only incentive for me to replay the game has to be if Rasaad is bisexual. I would like to roleplaying the game as myself or someone similar to me, so here hoping.

You know what I want to know...

Fangirls always seem to get a bad rap...there's fan art and fiction and all that junk. But uhmmm I seem to recall that there are a lot of guys out there doing the same thing...or is it just me?

[VampOrchid]

Battle...I like your banner had to steal it lol

[Battlebloodmage]

Am I consider a fangirl or fanboy?

Truth of the matter is straight male gamers are the majority, and a lot of them find it out of place to see others who are not interested in sexy female characters.

QFT... unfortunately.

I don't mind if a game has some sexy female characters - none as sexy as the protagonist, though, should the protagonist be female. But an endless parade of T&A gets old after a while. I'm more into equal opportunity ogle-ables.

Yeah, know it's funny, ostensibly before the fangirl was popularized there was a fanboy... but they do seem to have fallen by the wayside. Of course fanboy also has its own negative connotations. Too bad we all can't just be fans, and leave it at that.
