"Ok, I've just about had my FILL of riddle asking, quest assigning, insult throwing, pun hurling, hostage taking, iron mongering, smart-arsed fools, freaks, and felons that continually test my will, mettle, strength, intelligence, and most of all, patience! If you've got a straight answer ANYWHERE in that bent little head of yours, I want to hear it pretty damn quick or I'm going to take a large blunt object roughly the size of Elminster AND his hat, and stuff it lengthwise into a crevice of your being so seldom seen that even the denizens of the nine hells themselves wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot rusty halberd! Have I MADE myself perfectly CLEAR?!"

Seeing "no romance" when the readme states (at least suggests) otherwise and there is you-know-what in the mod is what makes me angry. And reviewers are bad too.
Sorry if I've offended you personally, I didn't mean it

Please, you didn't offend me! I was merely mystified. It is I who should apologise to you and everyone else who was hoping for surprises which I may have spoilt. I will try not to do it again. I usually read whatever I can about any mod before I run it.2 Scipio

You may all give me a digital slap on the earhole. The echoing noise from the cavity where my brain used to be may amuse you. As for you, GeN1e, buy Diablo III as soon as it comes out and PM me any spoilers you like. Now I feel as guilty as those people who tell you how a movie ends before you've seen it. Aargh.
I did battle with monsters, and they became me, and when I gazed into the abyss, the abyss looked away shyly.

Solaufein. I really liked the guy in original game, and mod was interesting (if only that quest-battles weren't that massacring).
Close second place belongs to Viconia. I've always concerned har as a brave and loyal companion, though she didn't wanted to admit this. Besides imho her romance is the most interesting of all romances for male protagonists.

Solaufein, because when I first played the game it was nice to see a, sort of, friendly face in a city where everyone want to kill you. Viconia is right behind him because of her interesting character. Her friendship mod is a must on my computer.
And then there's that drow with a funny hat but we'll not go there.

There is a semi-romance in the Yasraena mod. Spoilers ahoy!

You can take an interest in her, ogle her a few times, make a few suggestive comments. She leads you on in it (or is just oblivious to your intentions), but then you have to back down, or she shoots you down, once you both realize that she's head-over-heels for Divalir. Another piss-off about that mod is if you're simultaneously romancing Viccy, she'll tell you to bugger off as well, as she won't play second-banana to Yasraena.

Depends mostly on whether or not you're playing with Romantic Encounters installed or not.
"The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesterday, but it was never the streets that were evil." - Sister Miriam Godwinson, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Well, not really... I'm a girl, and I voted for Drizzt. Not a big fan of neither Viccy nor Solaufein.
I voted for Drizzt, but I guess my favorite drow really are Jarlaxle, as well as Pharaun Mizzrym and Ryld Argith from the War of the Spider Queen.

I can't actually decide at the moment, but Jarlaxle is up there. Pharaun(?) was pretty cool... Liriel's sort of interesting... I'd like to read more about them, anyway. Some of evil(er) ones are interesting as well, but I'm not too fond of the crazies.

The only good drow, is a dead drow.
But from the game, my favourite would have to be Jarlaxe: how many others could play you for a fool and still manage to get away with it.

Well, my actual favourite drow is Faeryl Zauvirr from War of the Spider Queen. At least in the first book,. The author of the second really didn't seem to like her at all - one of the most blatant examples of character assassination I've ever seen (honestly, every mention of her may as well have been replaced with "Fat, ugly, stupid b**ch whined again). And then gave her a really undeserved and unpleasant end. I have many, many issues with that series. Pity, as is stared so well.

Solaufein. Liked him in the original game, liked him in the mod. I have seen the sunset...
Heck no, b - I used the word the way I use things like "twitter", and "iPod" - my first inclination is to ask "what birdcall are you studying?" and I think of "I pod, You (singular) pod, He pods, She pods, They pod, You (plural) pod, We pod..."
