Please, see this 33 page thread ( http://www.shsforums...?showtopic=3599 ) that argues back and forth, pro and contra, striving to answer these particular questions. It is a good if long read.

You are so mean. I decided to spare myself the 33 page discussion. I voted no to Irenicus raping Imoen.

In the game, we never really hear the pc's reaction to the torture. There are a several passing comments on the subject but the comments are shallow. Why not have Imoen and the pc have a discussion about their mutual experiences?

I don't think the general story needs anymore drama. The story has so much angst already, why add more? I think the rape aspect would tilt the story to parody.

I haven't voted yet because I have a couple questions.

Have the original writers of BG 2 ever commented or alluded to the possibility that Irenicus raped Imoen? Also, if Irenicus did rape Imoen than why not the PC too?

The pc is the primary character, and I have always thought that Irenicus finds the pc more interesting than Imoen. After all, Irenicus uses the pc's soul for himself not Imoen's soul which he gives to Bohdi.

So if rape were to be done then it would seem to me that the pc would have been his primary target. Certainly, there is no hint in the game that the pc has been sexually assaulted or that rape has anything to do with arousing Bhaal and facillitating the retrieval of the pc's soul.

Loch27, among others, seems to have a sound point. What would be the point of raping any of them? The murder of the thieves seems to be more to the point.
