Baldur's Gate/Fridge

Fridge Logic

 * There's no problem if CHARNAME is human, hafling or half-elf, but if s/he's any other race then his age makes no sense, because s/he's only twenty years old at the start of Baldur's Gate I.
 * Imoen... Oh so much.
 * How come she can be resurrected when ?
 * If she's not included in your Throne of Bhaal party, and doesn't journey with you to Tethyr, how can the Player Character have to ascend to his throne?
 * When Jaheira and Khalid are first met, they say that Gorion had appointed them to become CHARNAME's guardian should anything happen to him before CHARNAME grew up. Come the sequel, Jaheira is a romance option, which means a male PC is being crushed on by a woman who's not only much older than him, but was designated to become his stepmother. Squick.
 * Actually, since she's a half-elf, she would have the equivalent physical body of a younger human woman. And besides, "guardian" doesn't mean "parent." It can also mean "sibling."
 * Uh, no, "guardian" is a legal term, and the person that has guardianship is usually acting as a parental figure (hopefully for the good of the child). A guardian can be anyone, and they either may not want to or aren't able to adopt the child for legal reasons. A sibling that is considered of legal age can be a child's guardian, but so can an aunt/uncle, grandparent, cousin, or someone not even related by blood. This doesn't imply that Jaheira and Khalid were going to be step-parents, though. They would have been more like foster parents. What may be more Squick is the fact that she wants to romance CHARNAME so soon after her husband died. Seems awfully quick for someone who the game insists was once happily married. YMMV, naturally.
