Imoen Relationship

Game: Baldur's Gate II SoA + ToB
Status: In development
Authors: Quitch

The Imoen Relationship mod is an attempt to flesh out Imoen as a character, to give her the depth the romances had. She's your half-sister, but you never get any sense of a true bond, nothing that would show you grew up together. I intend to change that.

The mod is not only about depth, but also choice. This will not be on the rails, some forced, so called "development." No, you will be free to do as you wish, to influence the relationship however you want. If Imoen comes to you with a problem, you could hear her out, guess what she's going to say, break her nose, kiss her on the lips, comment on the weather... there will be no "right" way, no pre-determined path. You won't have to say something nice to have her keep talking. How you treat Imoen is up to you. That's not to say what you say will always have the desired result. Mock her, and she might think you're just joking. Hit her, and perhaps she had some contingency you didn't know about. Listen to her story and you might find your purse has vanished by the end of it. She has a mind of her own.

I have one job in this mod. I do not force you in any direction, take out an action because I don't think that is right. I will not judge anything you wish to do. I exist merely to write the consequences of any action you take, to provide Imoen with a voice in the game. You can say and do as you wish, but Imoen will say and do as she wishes too.

The mod will not make plot changes. If the plot shifts, for example, Irenicus joined you. Fine, it shifted direction. However, I do not like elements, such as removing references to Imoen being your half-sister. That, in my opinion, is sloppy. I will work within the constraints of the plot as it stands.

Seeing as how Imoen has a mind of her own, she will start chats with you. Sometimes event driven, other times because she feels like it. There won't be any of this one, I can set my watch by it, hour nonsense. Conversely, you have a mind of your own. Maybe you don't want to wait for Imoen? Perhaps there's something you'd like to talk to her about? To this end, you will be free to initiate conversations with her. Effectively, you will be free to do as you please. Break her mind, chat her up, or merely discuss the simpler days.

You pick the options, but I write the consequences.
