Adrian_NPC VS Isra_NPC

Adrian is great, especially with Jaheira. The two interact so much that he has a different epilogue depending if they're both in the party (and no, they don't romance each other if that's what you're thinking).

Adrian - a rare example of a well-written evil character. He's bent on power, yes, but he's civil, eloquent, and flirtatious at times. Atypical but - I thought - pretty good. Edwin romance - added romantic track for Edwin, a self-centered and sarcastic wizard. Surprisingly touching at points, and genuinely funny at others. Angelo - Angelo is the epitome of a henchman, basically amoral and willing to do the PC's dirty work. Pursuing him romantically is a terrible idea, as he's only too willing to point out. Keldorn - added romantic track for Keldorn, an older paladin with family troubles who's deeply unsure about falling in love again. Kivan. Returning character from BG1. Kivan is a grim ranger bent only on revenge. Lots of angst at first, lots of sweetness down the road. Starts out mostly as friendship + unrequited pining. I haven't played this one in years, but I remember liking it.

Isra: Isra is a young paladin devoted to Sune. As a worshiper of the goddess of beauty, she’s no less committed to justice and goodness, but she’s not quite so… paladin. She puts me in mind of a somewhat less serious Cassandra from Dragon Age: Inquisition: her faith and morality are important to her, but she’s perhaps less severe. Some flirting in BG1, no romance till the sequel (see below).

Wlw romances: Isra (and her sequel link) - she's a paladin of the goddess of love and beauty. Nice if you like knightly types who don't take themselves too seriously, and I like the pacing as well - a little flirting in the first game, and an opportunity to seriously pursue one another in the sequel. Probably my favorite wlw character I've found. Sirene (and her sequel link) - more on the angst-ish side. She's a paladin as well, but she has demonic heritage. Again, nice pacing, good if you enjoy a slow burn kind of romance. Sarah - Sarah is a sweetheart, honestly. A bit shy but well-meaning, and though she's not devoid of angst or sorrow she's a refreshingly normal character.
