One of the biggest complaints about BG2 that is consistently expressed on this forum is the lack of transition between BG1 and BG2 - BG2 assumes that you finished the first game with a predominantly "good" party, and based on Minsc's dialogue, seems to even imply that you were a "good" character in BG1.
But what if BG2 had allowed the option for choosing an "evil" beginning, or at least, auto adjusted the beginning to suit an evil aligned PC? I know there's about a 0.00000000000000000000000000000001% chance of this being done in BG2:EE, but we can always pretend, can't we? :-)
I imagine...
You awaken in a cell. In the distance, sounds of combat can be heard. The sounds rattle around in your aching head like thunderbolts.
Suddenly, the door to your cell is thrown open, and the figure of a large Amazonian woman stands before you.
"Get up, you lazy b@$tard!" she yells, then sneers, "Men are pathetic!"
The woman is SHAR-TEEL! She is currently, say, a level 8 or 9 thief, after having been dual classed from a fighter at level 6. She has extra proficiency points in long sword and/or long bow.
"Shar... Teel..." you weakly mumble. "What's going on?"
"We've been trapped by some creep that has been doing tests and torturing us," she says. "But don't worry about me... I don't have time to bleed."
"We won't get far on our own," you mutter. "Is there anyone here that can help us?"
Shar-Teel replies, "KAIGAN and XAN are in cells to the east of here, sorta like yours."
Shar-Teel then drags you to your feet, and says, "Now stay by me! Remember: If it bleeds, I can kill it."
You think to yourself, "Well, I guess you ain't killing that golem in the other room, them..." ;-)
Thoughts?
