Oh my god... I know I JUST posted raving about Xan, but I just had my absolute favorite Baldur's Gate II moment EVER.
I didn't intend to do the Xan romance this game... but he was just too perfect for this character, I found out as the game went on. She's a little bit bitchy and a lot of bit vindictive, and very sexual (I planned to test out Romantic Encounters with this character).
Anyway, I just got back to Brynnlaw after Spellhold and I'm prepping to sail off to the Underdark, and I was slightly wishing that my PC could snap back at Xan for threatening Yoshimo when he finally attacks in Spellhold, and other such catty things (I wasn't REALLY upset; I was imagining her snapping back in my head, and that satisfied me. I'm such a dork).
And then I got the best banter of all time. Korgan compliments Xan's taste in women, and then goes on to talk about how he might start hitting on the PC now. Xan gets really angry and threatens him, and then realizes that Korgan bought an expensive new scabbard that 'must have cost more than his fair share of loot', and accuses him of being paid to do this by the PC. At which point Korgan asks PC if he still gets his money.
This was absolute BRILLIANCE. I swear, I did not stop laughing for over a minute straight. I highly reccomend everyone look the conversation up on Shadowkeeper, if you never had a chance to experience it yourself. It looks like you know my character better than I do, Kulyok!
