Carpator Diei posted:While i wouldn't put her above Aerie, I too kind of don't mind Chloe yet, though I don't doubt that it's only due to the very specific context. It's weird because being so much of an obvious Mary Sue actually kinds of helps her because it invites comparisons to the other Mary Sue, and that sets a ridiculously low bar. Like, I keep being positively surprised by her banters simply because she actually has a personality and doesn't automatically get along with everyone else. Again, this goes completely out the window if the PC is female.

Shauhana and all this orc stuff is part of Sandrah's mod, right? I'm getting a bad feeling it all exists for Sandrah to be their white savior.

Honestly, I'm impressed by the sheer narrowness of Roxanne's idea of beauty/hotness that she apparently can't imagine a sexy half-orc lady. It's gotta be a part-orc lady who looks human! I can get you multiple different kinds of beauty in half-orc ladies in a page or of Google Image Search.

You just had to have Romantic Encounters on top of all this other crap, too, didn't you  e: got too distracted by other mod content. I did like the Boo quest, but i'm never going to install it again because you kind of have to do it if you're going to use Minsc and it's a lot of running around and i Could Not Be Arsed. vilkacis fucked around with this message at 10:46 on Apr 14, 2021 |

Okay...Sandrah literally manipulated Aerie into sex by giving her hopes of medicine. This orc saga is really loving boring. I thought Roxxane had a weird talent for creating modestly okay characters outside of Sandrah but this is just walls of text about what is a paper-thin excuse to not be racist.

I do NOT look forward to you getting to the Underdark with the Romantic Encounters mod. When I was looking to see WTF the Centeol thing was, I noticed... well. Let's just say you too can join Sandrah in some stuff that sounds REAL dub-con in there. (Also my username is still making me crawl out of my skin every so often in this. "I hosed who now?")

It's not Sandrah-related, it's a terrible thing you can do all on your own! Solaufein gets sent to the sex pits or whatever as a punishment... and you can take advantage of it. I don't know how it plays out, but it took me from "Romantic Encounters is dumb but whatever" straight to "WOAH, MODDER, WOAH". I just mentioned Sandrah because you are participating in her favorite activity, sex of UNCOMFORTABLY LOW levels of consent.

The Romantic Encounters for BG1 isn't much better in that regard, there's an encounter for female thieves in Candlekeep where if you try to loot a pearl at the inn a guard coerces you into spanking/whipping and then sex where the only silver lining is you have an option at any moment to tell him "gently caress off", which isn't even much. And apparently it was even worse before. I dread to think what this all would look like if Vichan had been a girl instead.

The little summaries seemed mostly harmless but stupid, but that one couldn't even be spun in a way that didn't sound rapey as hell.

Chapter XCV - Not all orc's butts are for buttkickin', it seems. So, we've got a tenday 'til we can continue Shauhana's quest and need to find a way to pass the time.  ...Not like this, preferably.    We might as well pay this Raelis Shai a visit.  Not bad.  ...I spoke too soon.  Of course Minsc loved the play.   We're saving this for later since we have no room in our party but I figured we'd get this out of the way right now. I wonder if Aegisfield made any progress tracking down that tanner?  He flees, coward!   Another fade to black, we don't have time for this!  I don't think I've ever gone through this place without triggering the trap close to the stairs. This prompted a visit to the nearest inn to get some rest.  This turned out to be a mistake...   Back at the tanner's we find Aegisfield's body. He can survive if you go to Rejiek before reporting to him but for some reason I always preferred this outcome.  This letter will come in handy much, much later.  I wish I could pick non-racist options here.   This guy gets away before we can get to him and Rejiek got away as well...   This exchange is just salt on the wound.  Now that the murders are solved it's time to take care of a loose end.  Remember this note? We got it from a guy in the slums, turns out you can click the 'area map' button to get where you need to go.  I'd murder these guys but a girl's life is at stake here.  Those horrified at the dialogue options: You can take it much, much farther. Whoever wrote this 'romantic' encounter is a sick puppy.  We're going to be good guys here, though.  Heading for the Den of Seven Vales in Waukeen's Promenade we help this woman with her acting lessons.  Vichan's quite the method actor.  Let's see if there are any more conquests to be had at the Mithrest Inn.  Laran is a female-only Romantic Encounter so Sandrah gets right to work. As for us? Well...     Someone had a lot of fun writing these. Anyway, that's enough romance for one chapter, at least if I can help it.  This house on the docks is Valygar's.  He's not going to make it that easy for us, it seems. To the Copper Coronet!  I'm glad we had this talk.  Jesus Christ, Roxanne. Stop ruining Minsc!   Ugh, I'll take care of it la-  LATER!   Great, we'll check it out if we're in the area.   This happened while I rested on Athkatla's streets. The fog of war prevents us from seeing anything. 10/10 scene. I love especially love Boolerion throwing shade.  Chloe: Por que no los dos?  Another quest set up for us.  Ugh, whatever. I get why people hate Aerie's romance now. Anyway, I head for the Stormhorns (the journey takes 4 days) and rest a day in the dragon's lair.  loving finally.  On our way to the crossroads we encounter this cloudkill-on-death zombie lord again. At least we're able to deal with them now without too much effort. The orc shaman and his son are at the crossroads.  Wait, Arvoreen? Seriously?  Why adhere to Forgotten Realms lore if you can just make up your own version?   This could've been a great quest if it had been competently written.  Oh, great. Vennegrat's back. I'm quaking in my boots.   Of course Sandrah got a skill, why wouldn't she? What, can we summon a rodent now?   Sure, why not?  I'm not sure I can take much more of this.  Sandrah got this skill earlier but let's pretend she got it here and get on with it.  Jesus Christ, Roxanne. Could you let Shauhana have her moment? I was almost getting immersed there for a second, bad writing notwithstanding.  Minsc and Shauhana leave us, leaving us with two positions to fill.  We're saving that for next time, though. Minsc and Shauhana can wait a while longer.

A bit of a low-energy post on my part, another one of those days. I probably could've been more productive with my time with Shauhana so far but oh well. I'm taking Haer'Dalis with me and I'm torn between Valygar and Viconia for the sixth slot. The latter might be best since she doesn't have a quest attached to her.

That was just painful to slog through. Honestly I might be in the minority here but I wish you hadn't added the Romantic Encounters mod - it seems to be just Sandrah content but more of it, mostly, ranging from gratuitous to gross. Though I guess at least the English is better. It's getting harder to find the scraps of plot in amongst all the sex garbage and most of the time I have very little idea what's Roxanne's and what isn't.

Thank you for letting me know, I suppose I can tone down the amount of encounters we come across or at least restrain myself to one per chapter. Looking back at it four encounters (only one of which Sandrah was involved in) is definitely too much.

You know, Sandrah is giving me the vibes of a character in a completly different piece of media. The whole non-believing cleric, people either loving her or hating her to the point it warps their personality, her sleeping around with everything she can in a predatory manner, her having skills completly unrelated to her actual role (the whole shitton of extra abilities she gets). Of course, that character is explicitly considered to be 100% evil and hosed up in the head to the point she's a literal cancer of humanity, which says a lot of Sandrah reminding me of her
