A different Valen romance

[Avrom]

Was Wes Weimer ever considering a Valen/(unredeemed) Sarevok romance? Some of the things she says to him when they first meet are...suggestive, to say the least.

If not, I think it'd be...interesting to watch. And it would solve some of the problems with a Valen/PC romance...for example, while a vampire PC with a dominant vampire NPC wouldn't work from a role-playing perspective (you're the party leader, after all), one NPC dominating another would seem to work just fine.

Of course, Sarevok might have his own ideas about such a subservient relationship (or *any* relationship with Valen; if Viconia scares him...), and as a former Bhaalspawn with a number of mystical powers remaining, it might be hard for Valen to keep him reliably under control... On the other hand, Valen offers power, and power isn't something Sarevok is known to snub. All sorts of interesting conflicts, both between and within characters.

I'm with the people who thing Valen should be unredeemable; if this romance gets underway before a Sarevok redemption, he should become unredeemable too.

Now this sounds like a cool idea. I like it I can see sarevok tempted over to the side of Evil once more. And seeing that that the group Valen would be travelling with would almost certainly be Evil then sarevoks redemption would not be an issue.
However would a Vampire Sarevok (The Logical conclusion to the romance) be overpowered?

Taking the point forward a bit further.What do you think of the following points
1) Savevok has died and probably doesn't want that to occur again. An option for him to avoid this is vampirism, attaining this state would mean that he would'nt be consiqned to the abyss or where ever.
2) Since death meant the loss of any Bhaal spawn powers he may want to  attain vampirism as itmay help him gain some of the speed and ability that he lost on his death and can never attian.
3) Would him being reborn as a vampire mean that he is free of the Geas placed upon him at the beginning of TOB? If so would that mean that he can be fully nasty again.
4) Vampirism would be a means for him to strike back at the PC who now has the full taint of Bhaal compared to Sarevoks nowt.
5) Valen's motives for romancing Sarevok would are simple he was evil and caused more death and destruction than any other person in recent histoy surely that would make a girl like Valen feel all mushy inside.

I agree with those points, Wizard of Thay- interesting possibilities.

Though it'd then seem the PC wouldn't want Sarevok to romance Valen.

Possibly The PC may not want to have Sarevok Romance Valen (although I think it would be more the other way around, and Sarevok not fighting that much) but then again the PC would not know the above until too late. and no evil party would really want to lose their two front line fighters.
thirdly, this would allow greater RP in an evil party which would always be fracticious as each party member pursues thier own route to power.
