Safana Romance (SPOILERS)

[Sly Rambo]

I have now finished SOD and I pursued Safana in her romace track.

I was extremely disapointed. So the way it went for me was she wanted a gem, Even though I had ALL the gems i could only say I dont have one for you. Then she wanted a poem. She liked it. Then we kissed.

THEN she said I was awful at kissing and told me she'd been shagging Volghin. No more love talks. She didnt visit me in my Cell. Imoen just told me she wasnt wearing any clothes when she found her with the elf.

Did I do something wrong? Or is that really how it ends or goes? Thats awful if it is. I dont mean because Safana is a ♥♥♥♥♥. We all know that already. There was no ending to it, she was rubbish throughout the 'Love' talks.

One kiss? really? Im going to kill Volghin and Safana in my next runthrough.

* Edit. Just to add. This is the worst Romance arch I've ever seen if this is gen. Mods are better. I have also heard good things about Corwins romance.

Side note: I was romancing Corwin, Safana and Neera. There was no confrontation like I have read about. Safana asked me who i had eyes for. I told her it was her because, (Duh) Its her i was talking to. If thats what killed the other romances. No one reacted or actually gave me a choice. Ugh

Charisma based perhaps? How high was your Charisma?

I've chosen to romance Corwin, and end-game story I was framed and didn't manage to convince her otherwise (will try doing that in the next playthrough), so she left. It could also be a forced way to rebuild the canonical party for story purposes. Just your closest story friends still left.

[Sly Rambo]

Yeah I had the canonical party waiting for me upon my escape.

My Charisma was 20 (Shadow Keeper). I did it so I wouldnt have to wear the ring of human influence just to be a good leader in 2 ^^.

Cant be the Cha then. hmmm

Was the romance with Corwin good up til the end?

guess you have to recognize it... your kissing is so bad that it make women run away from you the first time you kissed them :P

Answering to that bears a risk. Initially I had started making compliments to Safana just to tease her a bit and to find out how she would react to that. Not fair, but permitted, given that it's just a role-playing game. Safana asks for that with her typical seductive style and sighing, which one already knows from BGEE. While travelling with Corwin, who is the more vicious archer, too, and continueing my role-playing of a low charisma warrior priest, I was given interesting options when talking to Corwin, and Safana didn't like my interest in Corwin at all. I've posted about the romance with Corwin in some other topic already. There may be a few surprises in the romance options, and it needed a couple of tries to get her. I don't think it leads to any consequences as in BG2EE, however.

It is a welcome addition, which fills the NPCs with a bit of life, in my opinion.

Compared with that, the NPC companions in Pillars of Eternity add funny banter, but no romance options at all.

It's intentional, have you played BG2 yet? She's barely there and when she meets you she basically despises you. Beamdog had to force a reason for the romance you have with her in SoD to end.

[Sly Rambo]

I have played BG2 many times. Lets be honest alot of things dont tie together story wise between the 2 (3) games.

The Romance could have been a nice enclosed story. Yes, it had to end to (kinda) explain her reactions in BG2 however it all happened for no apparent reason was my problem. No context or real decisions or consequenses. Shes just a nasty hoe.

Like I said disappointing.

Arashoon. I agree, maybe it is all my fault for being a gash kisser ^^

She got what she wanted from you - an ego boost. Now she's done with you. Plenty of men and women are the same way.

We already know based on her "encounter" in the Forest of Tethir in BG2 that she's nowhere near being a remotely good person. This is all just how I see it with my "Crystall Ball of the Haven't Played SoD yet." It's a +3 divining gem you see.

[Sly Rambo]

It didnt really end though. I wasnt sure if i missed out on a love talk. Then when she didnt visit me in jail........
