Ahh, Aerie... You were my first RPG romance. I rescued you, nurtured you, then came to rely on you as much as you relied on me. There was nothing I would deny you, my love. Yet even after all these years, I still refuse to allow you to name our son "Quayle". XD

I love this romance, just because it has such a happy outcome. They have children, they adventure together, and even get married. What more could you ask, really?
-
Aerie was whiny in BG2 no doubt(although I never ahd the visceral reaction that some did apperently). But her romance in ToB is just so wonderful. The best ending out of them all. She is so happy when you choose her (and the baby) over Godhood. I nearly cry every time.

Still the greatest game I ever played I had forgotten how beautiful the end music was
-
Man I tend to think that way about Viconia. I'm playing BG II again and that "little extra" suddenly became too much and I'm thinking to myself "Man simmer down, it's just a game!"

Chikita Fastpaws should have made an appearance at the wedding as well! My character romanced Aerie (a half-elven ranger named Calladin, who I had c arried from BG1 and Sword coast through BG2 and ToB, over the course of 5 years, from when I first got BG1 until I was a nuclear operator in the Navy. Loved that character!) She started off annoying, but really grew on me by the end. Her ending was really a wonderful epilogue to my ranger's life. Totally teared up to her reaction when he stayed

Although The Avariel has devoted her life to honoring both The Winged Mother and The Masked Leaf, one need only gaze upon her wide-eyed countenance to know that she was blessed by Lady Goldheart.

I've been playing RPGs since Ultima games - back when I could hardly read - and Baldur's Gate was one of those that set standarts for other games. People talk about Skyrim: sure, it has fancy bling bling, but it is nowhere near as epic as modern day hype-fanboys claim it to be. Those same people see games like Baldur's Gate and are like "dude that haz shit graphiks! who can play that shit!" - games had soul back then, even if they aren't visually impressive today. Skyrim doesn't have that spirit
-
I always played these games with just one character and I've played them so many times. I've very tempted to pull out those old CDs and revisit these games just to play with the NPCs, even if their stats suck.

Aerie was my favorite. Jaheira and Viconia never seemed to really grow character-wise nearly as much as she did. People who complain about her whininess obviously never made it past the first 20 hours of gameplay to find out that she's worth the time and effort you put into her, and she really did mature as a person... wait... I mean bunch of code in a computer game. Did I really waste my youth thinking about this stuff? Answer: Not at all. It was worth it.

incredibly charming song, i listen to it everyday and of course my favorite game ever
-
I understand that it takes a long time for Aerie to get the Time Stop, that's why I included the scroll, even though they're costly. If a perfect Harm is cast, the enemy will be rendered to just one hitpoint and I've always been lucky enough to hit a dragon with instant spells like Magic Missiles.
-
There's still so much dialog I haven't heard in the game. It's one of the reasons the game is highly replayable.
-
You know before I played this game romance in a video game meant very little to me but as i played this game romance in video games began to grow on me till I very much enjoy it
-
Two years later I still feel the same way!!! haha
-
ahhh....memories... it THE Best ever game of all times...unfortunately nothing can be compared to this game and the depth of its' scenario...
-
Stronger than you are. Much much stronger.
-
Aerie was by far my favourite romance character. Jahiera seemed a little too controlling. I loved her voice aswell, 'twas cute (: Anyway, thanks for posting this!
-
Aerie annoyed the shite out of me. However, I feel strangely compelled to go back and play BG2 again with her romance now just to see the reactions of the party members to me knocking her up. I'm told that Viconia's is spectacular... "So, it appears our fearless leader has put a bun in the wingless pigeon's oven. How very manly." Korgan has a few things to say as well.
-
If there's anyone in the game who has a sacrosanct right to "whine" it's her, I'd like to see how others would fare after being kidnapped, sold as a slave, exposed as a circus freak, and then mutilated resulting in the eternal loss of one's own family, friends, and access to their civilization in general.
