And on a side note: you won't have much luck with your scheme, Alatariel. Elves don't sleep, remember.

Well, he could somehow come face to face with an...'accident' , die, then we could dye his hair green and then ressurect him...unless of course ressurection causes everything to restore itself, including hair.

*Attempts to avoid people throwing stuff at her for suggesting to kill Darian* Joke! Joke!

I'm afraid that for the bathing-style flirt, you may not see that kind of option even in ToB. While Darian would be willing to do such a thing with Charname at that point (he may be very uptight, but he's still a man), I would have a very difficult time writing it.

Any types of flirts are welcome and the idea of a more 'intellectual' (as you put it) romance is intriguing. If you do not believe, in yourself, however that Darian would not do 'x' then do not write 'x', if you get my meaning - I think you've cottoned on to the fact that it would be a character breaker. Also such flirts as 'bathe' can head into more 'R' rated territory and if that is not what you want then...

So stick to your guns! However, if you won't put something in simply because you do not feel you do not have the um...cannot write it yourself...then do not be shy to ask someone else for help.

Perhaps it is not place to say that though (since I cannot offer my own help and I would be speaking for others) and I understand that as Darian is your NPC that you might want complete control of everything, but their is no harm in asking someone to make you a skeleton of a dialogue for a flirt you cannot write and then saying 'yea' or 'nay' or 'Darian would not do that, oh but he might just do this!' and voila! you have created a flirt within his character even if it was one you found you could not write yourself. Um...I'm sure you know this and stuff, I'm just trying to be helpful without sticking my foot in the wrong place

On a second note...not sure if this has come up and been sorted, but what voice set/who's voice set are you using for Darian? Your own? A bioware one? Someone else? Just out of curiosity.

Thank you Kellen, I should really pay more attention to detail! And now I shall bother people less as I get stuck into a BG1 mod

And thank you Tempest for the explanation, I think I can understand that, I still feel sorry for Aerie though; I know not many people like her, but I do for some reason. I would also assume then, that Darian would not care one way or another whether Aerie becomes Minsc's witch, which was going to be my next question. If Darian had got mixed up in the Anomen/Aerie banter anyway, it might have caused some problems due to the fact that I believe the Aklon mod was going to have Aklon interupt Anomen or fight him or somesuch if he is romancing Aerie, or something along those lines...

Ooooh I am so sorry for being annoying. Sorry a thousand times over but...

On the NPC line, I don't remember if this has been covered yet, but a CN Anomen has a chance of bantering with Aerie and coming into conflict with some...er rather bad consequences.

Now I know that mostly you have mentioned that Darian could not care less what other NPCs 'do in their spare time', but I would have thought it odd if Darian did not do something to either a. prevent the conflict from reaching fruitation or b. helping Aerie fight Anomen. Now, I don't hate Anomen, far from it, but it just seems an important thing. I think somewhere there was an idea that Darian finds Aerie...er...how do I put this...annoying? (Hmm...no maybe that is not quite right. ), but still, she is an avariel and he would want to protect her anyway on that fact, right? If he doesn't do anything, can you explain why though?

Again I'm sorry if this has been covered and I have missed it somewhere, in which case can you point me in the right direction? And also you've probably already thought about this, I was just wondering how it was going to be handled, because I'm curious and ask too many questions

Otherwise if you don't want to say because it is spoileristic, then I won't push and you can tell me to er...wait/push off because its all sorted and being/been dealt with.

Not every NPC really needs a "Bathe with" flirt. The idea is fun, and it can be even more fun, depending on where you want to go with it, but if it's just there to satisfy some sort of checklist item, like "comment on Edwin's gender change," it becomes trite.

OT: Don't know if you got the stealing the clothes idea from Gavin, but that was my attempt at making the "bathe with" flirt a little more interesting. Glad you liked it

Admittedly this was just me being silly. I think Tempest has a lot on his plate, so to speak, already without me adding nonsense. I just thought it would be funny...it is just me and my weird sense of humour...I was not actually saying to have a 'bathe with' flirt, but rather a tease/pratical joke one, but maybe I was not being very clear *shrug*. I also think NPC banters are much more important anyway

Oh and I've never played Gavin, but I think maybe I should now...just to try him out...Um, where can I find him?

Sorry, I'll leave everyone to it now, um...back to topic right?
