About women autoreproducing... well if a thing like an all-women world should ever happen, my guess is that it would fall to a quick end, as the basical needed variety for the race would be missing.

Oh my god is that ever stupid. I have heard men make "all women are alike" type assumptions before, but this one takes the cake. Hating the idea of a world without your gender is one thing... this is quite another.


Anyway, as to Imoen... I think it's impossible to decide, really. I get the same feeling about her that JC gets. She could like girls, though.

I wouldn't say that open-mindedness or emotion would make her bi, on the other hand... I personally am very open-minded. I think many women are beautiful, and on an emotional/spiritual level, find them to be great--some I could almost have imagined sharing a life with. But at the same time, there's a spark missing... there's no romantic attraction, and there's no desire for sex. So although Imoen does seem open to me, that's not to say she likes both genders at all. She might be like me--sometimes having wished she were bi because she knows some great women, but unable to muster any passion for them even if she tries. Same if she's lesbian--maybe she knows some great men, but can't like them THAT way.

I agree with Catalyst--I think it does work for RtW because that'll be like its own contained world. But Imoen will be throughout the whole of both games; PS:T would seem odd, break immersion for me.

It's funny that the opinion is now slanted towards PS:T because I think before the forum died, it was actually more towards BG2.

Having Imoen speak may feel "out of place" since she hasn't done it before, but that doesn't make it a bad thing.

Not necessarily 'bad', no... just 'incredibly annoying'.

Imoen: (careful... careful) (your purse suddenly feels a lot lighter)


Planescape: Torment

Imoen: "Careful... careful." These mutterings are followed by the feeling that you purse is lighter than it was.

Your slant here is quite obvious. I prefer...

Imoen: Careful... careful. (These mutterings are followed by the feeling that your purse is a lot lighter than it was.)

However, I am perfectly ready to see your P:ST style dialogue for Imoen... if you are prepared to also convert the rest of BG2 and its mods to the same format. Then it would not feel out of place.

This is a common BG2 bug. I had it in the original game with CN Anomen and Aerie. The ONLY thing I've seen to change it is reloading... and even then, things continued to screw up until I set a variable to tell the engine that the dialogue had already played.
