If he had been, I guess that someone would have made a better Ano romance.

Does anyone remember the part where Cernd says she(his wife)didn`t want to live in his world......So I think that a romance with Cernd is very possible. My impression of Cernd is that he loves nature very much and just didn`t want to be a farm boy or city boy...He wanted to travel with Chara name and loved the idea of exploring the pocket plane.....anyways just my two cents on Cernd.

The only thing I can say about Cernd is that he has a sexy voice. To think of it, it is sexier than Anomen's and Haer'Dalis'... and Keldorn's... and Korgan's... no. No. Korgan is the best.

Seriously, I would like to see a Cernd expansion\romance, but I very much afraid different people view Cernd very differently, depending on their life experiences. I, for example, heard "deadbeat Dad", "a walking collection of nature quotes", and my favourite (to which I myself am sometimes prone) "what is his name again?". I think he is neither of these, but, anyway, opening him up would be a difficult task.

MTS & Sleeta: I entirely agree. Minsc is such a brilliant character, IMO there is so much to him that hasn't been explored. Whenever I play him he seems slightly one sided. I don't tend to think of him as a character, more as comedic relief. As much as I love him for this (I have him in every single party I make. I adore him) there could be so much more to him.

I could help with a Minsc friendship/romance if it goes ahead, seeing as I'm not doing much.. if its still up for grabs, anyway!


I like the idea of fleshing Cernd out, too. A romance, in my opinion, would have to be extremely hard to cultivate - from what I've seen, he seems to still be in love with his wife, and does miss his child. So I'm all for it

But, in my opinion... Minsc is such a better character with more potential. I'm viewing this through rose-tinted glasses, though!!

'Deadbeat Dad' is not the right term for Cernd (or Coran if you think about it) because Cernd's wife never told him she was pregnant. That's actually a nasty thing to do to a man, tell him he's free to go, and never mention that 'little secret'.

Cernd has potential, but it was never properly developed in the game.

Agreed. I understand that Coran leaves his wife some coin, Cernd asks for the folks of the grove to care about his child, and Keldorn has Peony to look after his daughters, so I think on the whole, it goes rather well.

Agreed again. I would say that of all NPC mods, Banter Pack has pretty accurate Cernd characterisation, but these are only a few banters. If there were twenty or so, I am not sure it would preserve.

Um...I hate shameless selfpromotion, but as far as Minsc characterization, I hope the NPC Interaction Pack works out some of that. We've just got a bunch of ideas rather than a concrete plan, though.

I actually asked theacefes if I can join that in PM on COM, but I haven't got a reply yet.. I'd absolutely adore writing Minsc stuff. He rawks! So could you pleease poke theacefes to answer? *grins*

Coran has/had a wife? I didn't know that, who is she?
