I'm actually pleased! (slightly spoilerish, maybe)
« on: October 07, 2006, 08:54:54 PM »
Well, I've just completed the TOB non-bonded romance path and I must say, congratulations, Kulyok!  I really enjoyed this.  As a person who found Xan sometimes irritating to the point of my finally killing him in as painful a fashion as I could thinik of, he redeemed himself in my eyes and I didn't feel sorry for my pc in loving him.  From his "may I speak to you in private" dialog all the way thru TOB he seemed to genuinely learn and grow in a positive way and he explained himself well.  He didn't seem to "blame" my pc for tragedies and was supportive, as a lover should be.  I did not even once consider killing him or abandoning him in the Pocket Plane.  The only thing I missed was the lack of interactive PID's that I was used to in SOA.  But his comments that came about when click-talking him were nice, and, thank goodness, not insulting or abrasive.  He was sweet and loving and I was pleasantly surprised all thru TOB.   :)
For people who know how I sometimes actually loved to torment Xan due to his (in my opinion) awful nature in SOA may be surprised that I will probably never let Edwin kill him upon first meeting him in SOA again.  Even in games where he won't be in my party I now think well enough of him to just let him be when I decide to pass him by. 
I hope someone can let us know if they like the Epilogue for the bonded path.  I don't think I'll try that unless I know for a fact that he is summonable in TOB.  I can't recall off the top of my head if he is or is not.  And even if he is, unless the ending is fairly positive I would rather avoid it than turn back into a (sort of) Xan hater.  If I find that it is a "good" ending, then I'll perhaps try it out. 
Thanks again for all your work, Kulyok.  I truly enjoyed the non-bonded path!   :D

You are very welcome. :) Although for ToB romance, with the exeption of PID's, you'll have to thank SisterVigilante. (Actually, if not for SisterVigilante, I wonder if Xan ToB existed at all...)
