It's me, Imoen !

 

:D

Matilda is a Natlan woman born and raised in Old Vailia. She managed to earn status as a mercenary for being a professional who gets the job done, more so when the job involves putting her excellent fighting abilities to good use.

I want to not care about you... But I find myself forced to by some unseen power!

What did her belt even do in the second game?

Made her unkillable until you left Irenicus' dungeon.

Yeah, it ensures that the precious forced plot point wasn't ruined by the player's badwrongfun.

Pfew! I thought it was a Noober thread. Got me worried there for a sec.

God I hope they don't add a 'Noober' NPC as an easter egg !

What does any chastity belt do? It prevented the promancers from "role playing" a 'relationship' with their Bhaal sister.

I remember in my very first BG2 playthrough how I couldn't stand how frail and pathetic Imoen sounded. I just couldn't feel for her.

If Bhaal does not stop at dragons, then there is no line anymore, is there?

^somewhere out there is a gelatinous cube bhaalspawn, just biding its time...

 

I know nothing more, so leave me to go.

Bhaal didn't stop at rabbits, either.

I remember seeing this image from a PC Gamer or CGW. I prefer this version of Imoen. Not sure if this was done by Sweet, Manley, or Kovacs.

Thanks for the missle wand and goodbye.

This explains so much of arthurian legend to me.

The more powerful you get, the weirder you get with life. When there are no longer barriers, why stop?

Is that what she said?

 

P.S. Man, I hope this thread does not get locked, it's so perfectly immature.

No ! She is pretty decent in BG1, you can build her the way you want, her being Lv1

Imoen was among the most useful NPCs in BG1. She had great stats, initial thief skill distribution was good, you get her at the start so you can benefit from her ranged attacks in the early encounters and develop her however you like, and she can actually pass charisma checks for you in case you decide to dump it for your PC. Unless you are tired of her or don't like her character (or aim for a specific playthrough), there's no reason not to have her around.

And she was one of a small handful of avaliable NPCs that had the stats to dual-class

And in BG2, she was turned into a useless, whiny, annoying, forced plot device.

Well no. She is a very decent Mage/Thief of 'Good' Alignment, Mage being her most important aspect (also not specialist Mage, so she may learn spells from any school). Of course, she, or any other mage, is much weaker than Edwin, but personally I very often found myself not recruiting Edwin b/c of his attitude.

 

But yeah, she was quite pathetic, Irenicus broke her big time.
