Viconia...errrr, am I the only one?

Ok I dunnno why she's so loved by so many.
To me, she looks like a cross between RuPaul and Grace Jones. For those of you who aren't up on your geeky James Bond trivial, Grace Jones played Mayday in 007: A View to a Kill, with Christopher Walkens and Roger Moore.

And RuPaul...no comment.

The only reason I can think of is maybe she had a good loking portrait in BG1, since I never played that one.

Someone wanna clue me in on the mystique of Vinconia? Because I've tried to harbor some liking to her, but that portrait just kills it everytime.

It's all about the Smurf-appeal. Probably some sick fancy about doing a Smurf, but she is a kick-ass cleric with some major attitude so that explains it for me at least.

I agree with the smurf-appeal thing (sick as it sounds http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/wink.gif Only problem with me is I shot her down when she wanted to talk and now she doesn't want to talk anymore http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/frown.gif Anybody know if one chance is all you get with the BG2 ladies or will she warm up again?

Silliness of this discussion aside... http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/smile.gif

Her BG2 portrait is much better looking than her BG1 portrait (picture of the drow with the sword overhead in the female portrait selection). BTW, her BG1 portrait would have been used if you already had her BG2 portrait used.

Of all the female portraits in BG (1 and 2) I only like BG1 Imoen and maybe BG1 Jahiera better. Viconia also has a sexy voice and some of her appeal may be the mistique of the drow.

I don't like any of the 3 particularly, but Viconia is definitely the sexiest. However, I haven't kept her in any of my games so far.

How about importing a different picture for Viconia? Think about it she could look like your girlfriend/wife/favorite playmate! Better yet I think I'm going to import a picture of the smurfette http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/smile.gif
