So as I was sitting in my room last night, trying to fall asleep, without much luck, mind you; I came up with this idea for an NPC that would be well... Kind of humoring...

So I had trouble stomaching the whole Anomen romance. He just reminds me of my old roomate, the way he talks... Not that my roomate talked quite to that degree, but close enough to the point where it made me sick. You know, where you reach the point where you're just convinced that said person just likes to hear their own voice?

-clears throat- back on topic though. As I said before, the Anomen romance was truly hard for me to stomach, however before my days of playing with modded NPC characters, he was the only romance open to me. -shrugs- okay so he wasn't that bad looking, but eh... that's about it. It didn't really thrill me, no banter really. The Kelsey NPC enthralled me because of the banter...

(I'm getting long-winded and sound like Jan, I know, just bare with me) So my thought (here it comes) was to create an NPC that is also interested in pursuing Anomen, and should you decide to romance our 'favorite' member of The Order, it creates a challenge. (Not that Anomen really needs any more hot air going to his head, as to have two women fighting over him) however if you manage to snag Anomen for yourself, you still have the matter of trying to keep your other NPC in your party and in good graces.

Short version:
If you and a friend like the same person, chances are one person will get "lust object" and one will not. There is a chance of still remaining friends afterward, though it strongly depends on the decisions one makes. Why not have an NPC do the same?

My question, would you play it?

Well, first of, is this a separate NPC, so you are making one from scratch?

Well, what class is this NPC, Attributes, alignment, sample banters ect.

If you want to get someone to code this for you you need to have a more in-depth design. Oh, and learn .D dialogues.

Well I'm not sure entirely I want to do it yet, so I'm putting it out there as an idea. I'm familiar with .d dialogues, and I'm capable of writing out banters and such.

I just wanted to pitch it out there and see if it interested anyone else before I go into too much detail

You are just being far too vague, I don't know if I would play that because I all I know about is a fight between the PC and this NPC over Anomen.

Same here. You're not telling us why we'd want to play her. If my protagonist is a female, another female NPC who tries to take Anomen for herself is her natural enemy. If my protagonist is male who's not really interested in watching Anomen-new NPC romance, what would they talk about?

[Discordia]

they could talk about romancing him instead...maybe...

It's coming along, I apologize for it being so vauge.  I didn't want to lose the idea though, there's a bunch of other stuff to go along with it, but -ponders- think of it more as a sectional to an NPC, I wanted to make something unique that hasn't been done yet, part of it lies in a love triangle idea; but anyway, I'll have more up soon.  Along with Amn's famous Adventurer's Plate...  Errr I'll explain later- promise.

It could work, so long as you make the new NPC three dimentional and give her (her?) something to do Other than woo Anomen. What might make it more...interesting...given the emotions displayed by womenfolk when they both get hot under the armor for the same knight, is to code it so that the new NPC and <CHARNAME> get to be good friends first, even to the point where <CHARNAME> and Anomen begin getting serious, Then throw in some codeblock and have our new vixen try (and or succeed) to steal Anomen away.

At the very least give her a good backstory and make her have some purpose Other than just Anomen.
