Baldur's Gate Is Aerie from BG2 underage?

[fantadomat]

fantadomat, for the love of God, put naked women (and also men, actually) under spoiler.

I was browsing the Codex with my mother-in-law in the house and now she probably thinks I constantly consume pornographic material with people around.

Are you a teen or something? Learn the difference between artistic eroticism and porn mate. Both of those pics are not porn and are pretty save for work. Would you expect me to put in spoilers...say a picture of "Venus De Milo" ? If i upload hentai or porn,i put it in spoilers,not when it is erotics.

Come on, you surely understand the difference between a well known and respected work of art and a picture of an unknown naked lady with her tits out. While they don't necessarily have different intrinsic "scandal factors", they obviously provoke very different feelings in a distracted watcher.

As a general rule, that's not "pretty safe for work", because it really depends on your work environment. At one of my past jobs (an office job with only male coworkers), that would have been fine; at my last job (I worked in a school), that would have definitely been problematic.

Anyway, I was just joking. You can post as many dicks as you want without spoiler.

Is the difference in art only fame? They do enact the same feeling in men,they are both alluring beautiful naked women. Porn is when there is a sexual act,eroticism is showing the attractiveness of the human body. If she had a huge dildo up her ass,it would have been porn,an out of focus nipple is not what i call porn lol. You are quite the disappointment for an Italian,i expected you to have more culture in you than a 15year old kwanza "thehe a tit,lets go wank".

Sure it depends on the job....and you. You very well know that the codex is not safe for work generally. So why the fuck are you going to brows it in exposed location in a fucking school?!

Ahh i am more disappointed in your lumping it together with porn than the bitching about not safe for work thing.

Man, I feel the need to reiterate: I was joking, I don't really give a fuck. You can post giant alien dildos and I wouldn't mind.

As I said, there's no intrinsic difference between that picture and a known and respected work of art. It's just easier for a third party to interpret that picture as "porn". And I'm not browsing the Codex in an exposed location in a school, I never said that I did...

The only thing I said is that that picture is not safe for work, and it isn't.

 

[Delterius]

now this is porn

This thread is better than BG3 will ever be. And before you ask, no, it's not a compliment.

 

[Vladimuar]

Doesn't matter. Last time I romanced her she sucked my half-orcish uncircumcised johnson like a seasoned pro.

 

[AArmanFV]

Fixed.

You know what would be something? Using d20 dice as anal beads.

It can work if the corners are smoothed out as much as possible.

The first time I ever heard of tabletop I was reading the Yu-Gi-Oh manga. In the early manga they are not playing card games yet, Yugi is just sending people to the shadow realm over Poker, Air Hockey and Street Fighter.
In there they played a tabletop game that used 2 ten sided dice to roll a number between 1-100 (00 was 100).
As a kid I thought that was dope as hell, and I was a little dissappointed when I found out almost all tabletop games are either played by rolling a ton of six sided dice or a single twenty sided die.

 

[SophosTheWise]

This is assuming elves and humans age proportionally, which seems weird

 

[Saerain]

God I hope so.

On one hand, that redhead girl linked earlier is undeniably a fine piece of ass.

On the other, she is in the process of being consumed by some sort of skin disease.

NO! Redheads are the plague of this world!!

Do you guys know how the first devil Ginger spawns came to be?

A long time ago a chimp like ancestor one day looked up in the treetops and saw this:

Spoiler

It was love at first sight. After the debaucherous act, equal to modern bestiality, furrydom and sodomy ALL ROLLED INTO ONE, the world as we know it was cursed with the gene of the Ginger!

Also as for the Aerie conundrum well since the Forgotten Realms are in their equivalent of the Middle Ages then she is fair game as long as she's in her teens. Ours was like that: as soon as the first period hit, it was time to start growing farm hands. So yeah, like our middle ages... or modern day afghanistan.

More importantly, since this is Forgotten Realms AKA Ed Greenwood's Sex Realms,

Dammit! I've been trying to suppress the knowledge that FR is unironically Greenwood's magical realm for ages, thanks for reminding me.

The current Forgotten Realms material is highly sanitized from Ed's original vision. In FR as created by Ed:

• Bi-sexuality is normal (and yes, this means the men as well as the women)
• "Revels" (sex orgies) are normal
• "Festhalls" (brothels) are in every small village and visiting them is normal way to spend evening.
• Prostitution is the main industry of Forgotten Realms, "sex workers" are everywhere and there are about 100 different names for different kinds of prostitutes.
• Incest is normal way for families to "indulge feelings of mutual affection"
• Public city-wide orgies are the way to celebrate major holidays

All of this is confirmed by Ed Greenwood himself, from Ed's responses to fan queries on the Candlekeep forum. So Saith Ed here, here, and here. It's also all completely, 100% canon thanks to Ed's ludicrously favorable contract; other writers can try to dance around the creepy shit, but they can't outright contradict anything or else the whole setting falls into Ed's greasy, sticky hands.

Forgotten Realms is pretty garbage so nobody really cared that it was his sex fantasy

There is no reason to suppose you can scale human developmental milestones given the max ages of a race. Suppose elven nation has really good healthcare.

Read that as "age of conquest" and was fairly confused.

Finally our own thread to rival the Tali sweat one in Bioware forums.

Probably commonplace in Ed's magical brothealms.

He's right though. CHARNAME is fairly young and nobody has a problem with the huge age gap in Jaheira's romance. Especially considering she was essentially his guardian after CHARNAME's foster father died.

I have a problem with it. Imagine banging your dead friend's wife, who's dead because of you.

My guide to BG2 romances is timeless and helpful to anybody playing the game:

https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/the-ethics-of-baldurs-gate-2-romances.127716/page-5#post-6144322

If you:

Romance Aerie -> you are a beta male white knight or Trad Chad
Romance Jaheira -> you are a piece of shit and possibly a psychopath
Romance Viconia -> you are an omega/gamma male cuck or Playboy Chad
Romance Aomen -> you are a faggot

I hope this clarifies every possible position on BG2 romances. If you have any more questions please post them below.

1. I bet the seven sisters were also all futa
2. _________________________
3. 
   
4. ^ Well it is canon that girls in the FR tend to use a bit of magic to help them get other girls pregnant... that is how the first Mystra was born afterall.
5. It would only make sense that the top 7 magic using females could go futa or female at will.

This is now the 'every nerd icon you can imagine is a pervert' thread.

We talked about Aerie like this already -

Her age is never stated.

But we can infer that from her dialogue. She says she's *probably* older than Jaheira, which means she's young enough to not be sure, and Jaheira treats her like a child, which means she sees her as one. Jaheira is probably around 30-40ish, if we are to believe her own biography that she was a child during the Tethyr civil war (which is kinda contradicted by she having visited Gorion when the Bhaalspawn was a child) and that civil war ended around the time BG1 came about. So, yeah, I wouldn't put Aerie more than 50-60 at best since she was taken to the circus "at a young age". It's also stated in her biography that her wings atrophied some years after being forced into the circus, i.e. not decades, not centuries, years. And Quayle helped with that between BG1 and 2. We also shouldn't ignore her portrait, she looks like a teenager.

Aerie is at best "barely 18" as an Avariel. But there is another aspect to this even if it turns out she's technically legal, a 25-year-old dating a 18-year-old irl is still iffy due to the different life stages they are in. The 18-year-old is still living with their parents and isn't independent yet or is striving for independence, so it's very easy for the 25-year-old to exploit that and try to groom them by creating another financial dependence. It's not always bad of course, but throwing a side-eye is worth it in these situations.

I.e. there's no way the romance with Aerie is ok, getting her preggo is even worse.

The butthurt ratings parade in response to this post is proof that Codex is full of lanky, pasty-faced, studded leather jacket, greasy-haired metalheads who dated high school girls.

i think its just that nowadays the 25 year old is also living with their parents, isn't independent yet and has already given up striving for things so its actually pretty sad

Interesting color-coding in this pic.
