In Baldur's Gate, all you have to do is cast invisibility on your party members, and then you can basically walk through any encounter with ease.
I do remember the famed dialogue ambush, where you are addressed even if you are invisible, and it happened quite a lot, by the way.
Indeed, but quite a lot is quite an exaggeration, and it was fairly easy to escape from such encounters, for example by exiting the areas, or just by running outside the enemy's field of vision. They could cause problems the first time one encountered them, but then again, exploiting the game's weaknesses would require some kind of foreknowledge, or so I would assume.

Not in terms of whether you have to fight him or not. While it is true that you do not have to kill him, you are required to injure him to the point where he yields. Technically, you can not kill Ravel either (even though it certainly seems as if you do) so the only individuals that you *must* slay in order to forward the story are Ignus/Vhalior and that (un)fortunate zombie back in the Mortuary. I suppose you might also count the practical incarnation, because the absorption never did strike me as being perfectly consensual. Then again, it might have been that his eyes somehow said yes.
Point is, rushing through the games and avoiding close to all of the combat is not something that your typical player would ever do, much less contemplate. Planescape: Torment certainly does not encourage such a playstyle, and a purely pacifist route is not even possible.

She's trying too hard selling herself as a nerd dream.
She probably is one already, tho. Along with Olivia Munn and the likes of.
I never saw the attraction, myself. In my opinion, a good female mate should not sit around and play games all day, nor should she disturb those who do. Ideally, she should cultivate wholesome, feminine interests, primarily pertaining to cooking, cleaning and flower arrangements. That way, she would always have something to do while her mate would engage in righteous gaming, and once he would finish for the day, the fruits of her labour would lift his spirits and thus strengthen their union. Clearly a win-win situation, no?
The concept of the nerd princess is ultimately flawed, and nothing good can ever come out of it.

Bitch means nothing to me (never heard of her before this), but you clearly do.
I am deeply honoured that I have found a place within your heart.
As for the insignificant unappealing female who means nothing to you, her heresy has fueled the flames of righteous indignation, and as always, such feelings must be freely expressed so as to reaffirm our sound and proper values, and also, to serve as a warning to potential future heretics of her kind.
