Baldur's Gate/Characters/Other Party Members: Difference between revisions

** He is hardly useless though. Even if he is gotten too late to adequately fill the party's needs for a thief, he handles the "Fighter" part of his Fighter/Thief multiclass very well. While his relatively low Strength (for a Fighter) means his decent sword skills will pretty much go to waste, his anomalistically high Dexterity and his bow skills make him the best archer in the game and he's still fairly useful all-around.

* [[Casanova]] - A relatively sympathetic one, in contrast to Eldoth.

* [[Chaotic Good]]

* [[Chocolate Baby]] - His former lover is human, as is her husband. The fact that her child was a half-elf is what tipped him off that she was playing away from home.

* [[Gaia's Vengeance]] - What she believes she's out to inflict.

* [[Green Thumb]] - Inverted in BG2; her drawing energy from the forest in order to "protect" it is actually killing it.

* [[In Harmony with Nature]] - Subverted. Faldorn's obsession with protecting nature leads her to destroy it instead.

* [[Knight Templar]] - Or [[Nature Hero]] Templar.

* [[Nature Hero]] - Crosses the line into Nature [[Anti-Hero]] or worse in BG2 however.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]] - In BG1 she's a nondescript druid in gameplay terms and fairly even-tempered in personality despite her philosophy; in the sequel she's much more powerful, as well as much more ruthless.

 

Associated tropes:

* [[The Alcoholic]] - Or son of [[The Alcoholic]], as the case may be.

* [[Badass Boast]] - Anomen tends to brag about awesome, near-impossible battles he saw action in, though it's very debatable that he ever participated. There's a good chance he's rather intimidated by CHARNAME's resume and is just trying to measure up.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Particularly aggravating when directed at Mazzy, who is far nearer to the Paladin ideal than he could ever be, race restrictions or not.

* [[Feuding Families]] - His family has an ongoing feud with another noble family in Amn, which leads to his character-specific [[subquest]].

* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]] - Anomen is deeply concerned with honor and the law, and wants to be a noble paladin. But because his alignment starts out as a variation of Neutral, the game engine will make him start complaining if you do too many good deeds.

** There's also the fact that he's a Fighter/Cleric dual-classed character with a WIS score of 12. It suits his character, but under the rules of the game it shouldn't be allowed.

* [[Double Entendre]] - He drops a few of them, particularly if Mazzy's around.

{{quote|'''Korgan:''' Ehhh, there be many things I would do gladly. Harming children be not one of them. Her man be a cur and not worthy of the spittle on me boot.}}

* [[Evil Counterpart]] - To Minsc.

* [[Luke, You Are My Father]] - Well, ancestor, but yeah, this is what Valygar tells Lavok.

* [[Mistaken for Gay]] - Bizarrely, it happens to him a few times.

* [[Neutral Good]]:

* [[Odd Friendship]] - Valygar will, against his will, become Mazzy Fentan's squire, though he doesn't really resist and comes to enjoy it.

Associated Tropes:

* [[Green Thumb]] - The reason he's bent on investigating what's happening at the Druid Grove.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] - Jason Marsden does a lot of cartoon work these days, which may make it something of a weird experience if you pick up the game now.

** Sometimes he is called on it...

{{quote|Cernd: As the trees are buffeted and snapped in the face of the gale, I shall be as the bamboo and flex.

* [[Insult to Rocks]] - In reference to Isaea:

{{quote|"He is a complete and total ''bastard'', and calling him that insults bastards everywhere!"}}

* [[Neutral Good]] - In ToB, she mellows out and becomes [[Neutral Good]].

* [[Rebellious Princess]] - She's a noblewoman, not a princess, but yeah.
