Something is bothering me about nuImoen I can't quite articulate - mostly the portrait.

So, Sandrah is...Elminster's daughter who has nothing better to do but show up and be a smoking hot healer/romance option for our level 1 rear end in, erm, sexy chainmail armor. I am here for this amazing shitshow.

I look forward to the mods shoving Imoen romance down our throats like its FE4.

I'd definitely read that version of LotR

We must throw the Ring into the fire...HELL FIRE....

This makes the Viconia romance a lot weirder in BG2, not gonna lie.

What a hilarious trainwreck. I'm glad Mysterious Mage is cool with us traveling with and objectifying his daughter, or that we got the dialog about how Mysterious Mage was cool with this arrangement and then a rant from Sandra about hiding from him.

I'm on board for this trainwreck.

I completely get the Khalid hate though, stop running, rear end in a top hat, we need the melee line to hold!

"I have deducted that you knew my mother still alive"

This is only the Friendly Arm Inn and I can't wait to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

So the default coping strategy is to feed male party members to the beast.

I'm not sure how well this reflects on us...

Valerie also falls in love with Sandrah and sleeps with her, but that's par for the course for Sandrah (and also, I'm sad to say, in-character - Valerie absolutely would get run over by a beautiful, smart, charismatic woman who knows a lot about magic and is comfortable in her own skin). And happens after Sandrah lectures Valerie about her tendency to drink when she feels anxious and stressed.

We just need to keep feeding the Beast with party members so it stays the hell away from us.

Honestly? Sandrah gives me predatory vibes. A feeling like she's very deliberately exploiting her physical beauty and overwhelming presence to prey on anyone even vaguely susceptible for her own use even if it's always nominally consensual.

I don't think that's what Roxanne intends by any means, but that's the feeling I'm getting.

You're not wrong!

God Sandrah and the elf is just so bad. "Oh man, it sucks that your gf died, it's very sad but I am deep and eloquent. There's a hole under my spandex armor and only you can temporarily fill it."

Bonus points for "I am known for my eloquent conversation on all the important social events in all the big towns". It's such a clunker for someone who is supposed to be a manipulative seductress (or whatever the hell is going on with Garrick and dancing). I mean, it would probably work on young men inexperienced with women, but Kivan is a 200 year old elf.

Is she, though? To me, the dialogue seems more like the author was completely unaware of how predatory she comes across.

I have no idea how else to interpret the "hey Garrick I'm done with you help me pick up the PC" scene.

Sandrah: I love the PC
Also Sandrah: I am in love with and will loudly bang this bard in front of him.

Imoen didn't deserve this.

I thought Edwin was mostly a cartoonish inept buffoon, not some weird gently caress talking about "dark lusts" or whatever.

The weird part is that Sandrah is pretty, yes...but this is an RPG and your party is filled with attractive women some of whom might even be into your highly intelligent or highly buff alter ego. I have no idea why we are expected to go after Sandrah immediately instead of Viconia or Branwen, though I guess Roxanne's answer is "what do you mean or"?

I'm still lost as to the "plot" of Sandrah Saga aside from sucking everything into Sandrah's galing hole and something about a demon? And Elminster?

I'm wondering if this isn't why Dynaheir got whitewashed.

Have you seen Sandrah gently caress any black people?

I am pretty sure arcane necromancy just also comes from the weave?

I remember reading back in the day that there is a Shadow Weave made by Shar but that is some other thing entirely and isn't just necromancy spells.

also who the gently caress do u think they mean will rise to the weave guys c'mon

This is second edition. Healing IS necromancy.

Is that EE dialogue real or modded?

Throwing Rasaad out of the party for sexy drow women seems entirely in character at this point.

I feel like some rando claiming to be Elminister's daughter would be real suspicious but also she met literally everyone on the sword coast already somehow so

Competent writers: A powerful evil god of storms walking the earth freely is a terrible thing, a foe only the mightiest mortals could possibly hope to withstand and inspiring terror among the common folk.
