Worst part about Aerie is she was useless in major fights, against dragons, Beholders, and powerful mages. It was like I just kept her around because she was pretty.
BEST ENDING! Thank you SOOO much for uploading this. I really enjoyed watching this ending when I finished the game, but I didn't copy it, so I missed it so much. I and Aerie married in the cloud peak mountain among the winged elves.
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
@Aggrofool i think she´s also very useful in SoA maybe you get more destructive mages (Nalia just kills everything) and a better healer Anomen and Viconia are very good, but Anomen is always at the front with protagonist Keldorn and Minsc so i need Aerie as healer in the back. She does her damage she´s quiet good at healing and most important her romance is a challenge. you must be very careful not to loose her forever.
It's so unfair that all the guys got three great female love interests, while us girls got stinking Anomen. ¬ ¬ I had so many PTs where my PC was forever alone. :(
@OppasYeobo LMAO my sister complains about the same thing. Anomen is such a smartass, conservative biggot. But then again, all the men who are playable in BG2 are either insane or dangerous and thus not interested in love... There could've been Yoshimo, maybe. But we all know why Yoshimo can't be an option! I guess Haer'Dalis or Valygar could've been good love interests...
Oh GOD!!! I am playing Skyrim was about 1 week...nice game, BUT still, I got bored of it in the weekend. I can't even play it 'till I end the main story. and, in the meanwhile I remembered the BG saga (BG1, BG2, BG2:ToB) and I felt so nostagic!! I miss so good games!!! It's been a DECADE, but I still long for this game!! :(
when i was playing SoA i actually had to choose at one point whether i wanted aerie or jahiera (both were bitching at each other every god damn day) and i chose aerie. at first kind of regretted it until her character started developing more. When the master wraith in ToB pulled out the phantom of aerie's mother i wanted to seriously kick its ass.
since my 1999 PC cept crapping it's day of the week underware, I never got to this part, Norton AV and cheesy mobos kept me out of the game most of that year.(2000) never got to hit it up with the lawful good cleric/mage.
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.
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
When aeire would say "Faster than Chiktika Fast Paws" I always heard "Faster than you can click a fast pause" I was like, o_O What? talk about breaking the fourth wall! lol
@randyslicker Setting global values can mess up your game if you're not careful. I find it safer to do CLUAConsole:AdvanceRealTime ("5000")
This makes the game's detection of real time advance by 5000 hours, forcing the next romance dialogue. Don't worry about going over the next one either, because the timer starts over after each dialogue.
Also, Ctrl-i forces one of the random party banters. Great for seeing them all.
@PeanutButterGoodness Yea, I know the Ctrl-i trick, setting globals have never caused me any trouble and if you advance the in game time it can cause everyone else's timed events to fire at once which can leave your game in impossible situations aka your attacked by viconia's drows/demon then nalia, jaheria and anomen run off on there quests and so on so nether is entirely safe lol :/
I have to say the best romance ending really..romanced her but never had her get preg during the game which I heard could happen...reading previous posts..guess i didn't walk away from the comp enough and just let them stand around lol
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.
I quite like her, even though she appear to be emo. Probably because she seems so helpless (beside Kath Soucie did a good job in giving her a cute voice, I like girls with cute voice). Been playing 3 times in Baldurs Gate, somehow always end up to romance her... (going to try my next play thru with Nalia or Imoen for a change).
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.
ahhh the brilliant romances of BG2, a nice little extra but it added sooo much depth to the story. The writing was so good you actually start to care for these programmed characters :P
@AshleyFTW1 yes i seriously started to like em Minsc for example if i had a buddy like this guy man that´d be cool a tough guy a funny guy and well i love Hamsters^^ And Jan is also a funny guy but well my favorite is Aerie she´s just cute
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.
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!"
@mrchuckmorris If some players don't suffer Aerie's whining, it's most because of a bug that made the "bew I lost my wings" speech appear again and again (and again).
@mrchuckmorris I think "Ralph Baski's: Wizards" comes into play here, never really cared about those silly characters until I actually was old enough to pay attention to "Avatar and Elinore". then I found them quite touching.
@mrchuckmorris ikr! first 20 hours or so i was thinking "God wont you shut up" but after that its amazing especially the conversation ToB with her being innocent. having completed the romance yet though looking forward to some amazing stuff though.
@mrchuckmorris here too but to my shame i have to admit i´m playing the romance for the first time without messing it up kay the last time i tried the Aerie romance i was twelve now i´m 18 so maybe i have a better feeling for the answers^^and well now they suite my old class the Paladin^^ Jaheira and Viconia romance are easy although Jaheira ast my version has the bug it also starts with a female character. any help?
@mrchuckmorris i have the bug the Jaheira romance also starts with a female Character^^ not that it bothers me but a lesbian druid is a bit crazy i think^^
She will with the Throne of Bhaal expansion. She seems to have got a bit of backbone (and she chews hard at Irenicus). She will insult Korgan back and Korgan will (strangely) start to respect her.
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.
I felt compelled to take on the powers of Bhaal and to my best to bring good to the world, but what REALLY disappointed me is that Aerie's ending, if you became a god, was exactly the same as if you had never romanced her. It didn't even mention your and her child! If I were a God, I'd give her her wings back and visit her as often as possible. One lousy thing in an otherwise fantastic game. Pity it was the bit that was most important to me.
I felt the same way. After you tell her you could give her wings, you naturally assume you'll use your divinity to bring a greater good to the world, while also being able to care for her lost self. Yet that never seemed to happen.
Yes, she is. But it's bloody hard to make it happen because it's on a long real time timer during the expansion, so you can't just rest loads of times.
i know the comment is 2 months old...but you could have a child with Viconia too. It was a boy. Though you only had the child if you gave up your Bhall blood to stay with her. PS. i like the needy ones to.
Thank you so much for posting this. I finished the game a long time ago but I've lost all my savegames, so I've never been able to see those endings again, until now . Thank you.
@galdorp I myself is having romnace with Aerie as well and somehow i like her interaction, although we must fought for her with one of the NPC (the bard) and we might lost aerie to him if we are less of a noble spirit:)
Worst part about Aerie is she was useless in major fights, against dragons, Beholders, and powerful mages. It was like I just kept her around because she was pretty.
