Malagance

You present a convincing argument. :D

Let your weary and grief-stricken heart be laid to rest, fellow worshipper. She cannot be romanced. It is indeed a sad thing, nay, a TERRIBLE thing. A SIN AGAINST HUMANITY. You have a few options you can pursue: 1.) Turn to a life of fast drugs, easy women, hard liquor and terrible crimes. 2.) Forsake your meaningless life and beliefs, then join the CHURCH OF MIRA and help ease the pains of others who are just now coming to the same realization that you have. 3.) Pester the Mod community endlessly. (May be combined with Church Membership!) 4.) Construct a Mira shrine in your room and burn incense while contemplating the futility of existence without a Mira romance option. (May be combined with Church Membership!) 5.) Take a picture of #4 and post it here so that we can collectively contemplate the futility of existence without a Mira romance option. 6.) Find some black robes and a Japanese Kabuki mask. Turn to the dark side of the force and allow your rage to fuel force techniques enabling you to devour the essence of entire planets. Make them understand your pain. 7.) Get out a little more and find a real girl. (I guarantee that this is possible! And can be combined with Church Membership!) 8.) Collapse to the ground and assume the fetal position, screaming for Mira to come and save you. Best results are obtained if this is done along the side of a busy street. (May -NOT- be combined with Church Membership. Even we have standards, you weirdo.) 9.) Move to Switzerland. Life is just better there. (May be combined with Church Membership!) 10.) Start a conspiracy theory involving 3 major world leaders, Chris Avellone, 12 dying orphans, 1 earth-threatening disease, a collective sum of no fewer than 150 billion dollars, and the lack of a Mira Romance. (May be combined with Church Membership!)

You, good sir, deserve an applause. I, Malagance, as self-appointed High Priest of the Church of Mira, feel that you have done the community a great service by bringing us these *HAWT* pictures of the lovely redhead. Three cheers for Eisu! And now a humble blessing for the noble deliverer of Mira Fanart: May your threads be protected from flamewars. May your internet connection be protected from catastrophic events. May your computer and scanner be blessed with long life and protection from freak electrical storms. Finally, may the hands through which you deliver this gorgeous Mira fanart be preserved from being crushed in a vice or being sliced off by lustful pirate wenches. AMEN to THAT. (In other words, Kudos. I dig your art and I dig Mira, so when these two cross, there is much celebration on my part. WHEE!)

-------------- "Silence dog, you were born for no other purpose but to die by my hand." -Jon Irenicus, Baldur's Gate II -------------- I didn't question why Mira was with me, but now that you bring it up, it is quite intriguing that this was never further explained. As for you, Alaric, considering your "near-perfect memory" (as troublesome as I'm sure it is) I'm surprised that you didn't put it to better use when constructing your argument... I operated under the impression that Jedi didn't hate anyone. You know, the whole 'path to the dark side' thing is a pretty convincing reason to stay away from that. And any Jedi who considers these individuals "beneath" them is suffering from arrogance, again, leading to the dark side. Consider spending more time double-checking the logic behind your theories instead of bragging about how your alleged mastery of the martial arts and ki would allow you to hunt better than a wookiee. Just a thought. My Personal Theory: Someone hired Mira to either take you in or protect you, not sure if a definite conclusion can be drawn on who hired her or for what purpose. Once she was near you, the force bond kicked in. Perhaps she only tosses out the "bounty" excuse as a token attempt at feigning independence from your increasingly dramatic effect on her life rather than as a legitimate reason/motivation for staying with you. This is the only way I can think to explain it. As you can see, even so, it is still filled with too many holes to carry much water.

She was weak. Emotionally and psychologically that is. I, in the real world, am not attracted to those who are too weak to be able to stand on their own two feet. I don't like the clingy types that can never let go and live in the past. Those that fear everything, and can't even be clingy in a loyal way (Hi, I'm here to kill you, but now I will serve you!). Visas disgusted me. At the same time, I know that there are many who would find such attributes attractive, but I don't need someone clinging to me to remind myself that I am strong. I'm secure enough to know this, thus I am more attracted to those that try to challenge this security and strength. Not sure if that makes any sense, but I think it boils down to me preferring "Firey" over "Submissive" and not wanting a slave, but an equal.

I don't need easily manipulated DS toadies! I need hotties! -Votes for Mira- And yes, I am well aware that Mira has the staying power of a 12-year old girl in Combat. That's part of the fun!

As usual, I stand by the firey lil' redhead, Mira. I proudly defend her digital honor against the numerous fiends that would vote for -VISAS- *grumble* Great, and Bastila's in this one too. I predict Mira will settle in at 3rd place in this one. *sniffle*

Well, Global. I'm glad you're here to tell me these things, what would I do without your keen insights into the blatantly obvious? First of all, language is irrelevant to the discussion. Let's attack ideas, not grammar and spelling. Second, what were you hoping to prove by your post? So far you seem to be fulfilling the role of irritant, but little else. The fact of the matter is that these kinds of comments have been fielded time and again on this board. This may be difficult to grasp, but: Hate to break it to you, Copernicus, but you aren't the first person to unveil this great discovery of "Obsidian totally sucks". While your mastery of posting hyperlinks is impressive, the link leads to another opinion that happens to coincide with your own. Great. Now that there are two people who hate something, you can qualify as "free thinkers". If you get a third person, maybe you can start your own political party. My point is that people here have their opinions already, and that, generally speaking, those opinions have remained static. Unchanging. Despite the best efforts of "fanboys" and "haters". My personal opinion is that KOTOR2 was an above average game, not particularly good, but not particularly bad either. I'm not going to try and convince you, or anyone else, to subscribe to this view though.

Can I use this quote? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was going to ask the same thing.

Yet here you are, getting mad about someone getting mad. Fascinating. Mind you, I don't have anything against you, given that you appear to be reasonably intelligent and are firey enough to earn my respect. But consider the logic of your actions. At first I dismissed your post as a mindless flame but then I looked at it more carefully and realized that there is a pretty valid point that you're trying to make. Which is: "Why be so angry about this?" Which is a decent question, but your post itself was rather angry in appearance. I don't have anything against angry posts, but this kind of defeats the point, no? Just an observation.

For me #1 will always be BG II, David Warner as Irenicus was awesome. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "You are but a gnat compared to my power!" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Holy crap yes. David Warner (Irenicus in BG2 and, oddly enough, Chancellor Gorkon in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered country) and Kevin Richardson (Sarevok in BG Series, Jolee in KOTOR1) "You will suffer... you will ALL suffer!" -Irenicus "And now *I* return the favor!" -Fighting Sarevok again in hell in BG2 after you've killed him in BG1... Those are my two favorite voice actors of all time. Hands down. No contest... Check please. Sorry for being off topic. I'm revising my list: Mira, Mandalore, and Kreia are my current faves. Mira's voice and character really grew on me by my third time through the game. Visas's voice is painful for me to listen to... I don't know how else to put it. It just... makes me cringe. Goto's is lifeless.

Who on earth are you referring to?

I am surrounded by illiterate fools who are not only incapable of reading the original post, but incapable of understanding that they should READ the first post. But by all means, post your inconsequential, off topic fantasy names. I swear I'm interested in reading your numerous, varied, and usually BLATANT RIPOFF names. They're cool!1! And by "cool" I mean (for the most part) completely uncool. I have no problem with posting the results from a formula, but I have no desire to read the words of morons that do otherwise, and who are under the (mistaken) impression that anyone gives a **** about anything they say. Perhaps you actually read the initial post, but fancy yourself to be a cunning fox, "Ooh. I'll post the name that I used in my game. After all, everyone will believe that I came up with Solo or Katarn by utilizing this formula! I'm a bloody genius! No one will see through my pitifully transparent and BORING ruse!" Oh. And Osama Bin-Laden. Yeah. You're cute, in a "I'm an insensitive worm who is incapable of processing the long-term consequences of my 'hilarious' comments" sort of way. But by all means. Please favor me with more of your pearls of wisdom! I swear I care about your completely ignorant posts! Seriously! I'm so excited to read your names that you felt the need to post on this thread while rudely disregarding the original poster! So excited that I could hang myself. *sighs* ... After that bit, I shall post the name I came up with from the formula... Al-Vasper Migre.. I'd probably switch around the Prefix to come up with Vasper Al-Migre, which is tolerable, but my state of birth combined with my first name creates some pretty fugly last names.
