A lil Ophelia & Enver

Ophelia's a Tav from a fic on Ao3 called Sleep Deprivation. It's about a short lil elf that can't sleep cuz of Orin and has the crazy idea of sleeping in the bed of the only person Orin can't touch.

Anyways, here's Wonderwall:

Fic details below cut

i enjoyed your lae'zel comic, do you plan on more for her?

Thank you very much! That reminds me of an older piece I drew. Let's see what else will come!

Ok, I'm new to the Baldur's Gate series, but I checked and this is a pretty surprising lore drop

As far as I've read,

Xan only is a companion in BG1, he doesn't get to be in BG2 outside of a tutorial (unless you use mods)

Xan is not romance-able even in the Extended Editions (again, unless you use mods)

In the novel adaptation, Xan doesn't even last long and gets killed off by a giant spider (having only 7 constitution will do that to ya)

So canonically either he never confessed his feeling, or he and Jaheira adventured with another Bhaalspawn.

[nyda-the-tav]

I wonder if this is a throw back to the popular Xan romance mods of BG1 & 2. Those were good mods (I say this with full experience as a Xan romance girlie).

[cleric-of-ilmater-and-sune]

Maybe. Would have been more fun to put him in the game, imo. He's an elf, he can look exactly the same

[nyda-the-tav]

I don't think Xan was popular enough. Certainly not like Jaheira and Minsc. It would be nice if he were in the game though

[cleric-of-ilmater-and-sune]

I think they should bring back Dorn, too. Larian underestimated how many people wanna get down with a half orc

[nyda-the-tav]

Valid! —I thought Dorn was romanceable though? Or was that a mod lol

[masterhallmark]

In BGEE and BG2

I'm saying bring him back for BG3

[nyda-the-tav]

I agree 💯

and heres a second set of pics!! im excited to take some more professional ones at sacanime winter but for now all i have is my apartment :3

[kindlingonfire]

Should’ve went for the wizard instead

[randomomensandportents]

Three play throughs, three times Orin took Halsin. Yenna is right there! Lae’zel and Gale are much more portable, but no, let’s grab the biggest guy we see. Maybe come back and get Minsc too.

Orin must have a great Chiropractor.

" you licked a dead spider....dead spider...you licked it. That is something that happened"

[nyda-the-tav]

You didn't even need to have a perfectly matched piece by piece cosplay for this to be incredibly clear exactly who you were. AMAZING Gale. Love what you did with it and wow are your makeup and hair on POINT!
