The Valen Shadowbreath thread :)

[Legacy_Meeszy Alexy]

               ^ Agreed. In all the Bioware games that I've played, in RL, I'd run for the hills if I ever met Anders and just stock up on potions. Oddly enough, I would easily get along with Fenris, but I just can't EVER be mean to Valen, so I'd get along with him easily as well. Even on my Rhaine Steel the Evil Blackguard playthrough, I just chose the neutral options that I knew would give no relationship points. Being mean to Valen is just cruel and senseless to me.

               Losing the official website for NWN certainly doesn't bode well for its popularity, which is a real shame... '>
Wait, does that mean you aren't writing anymore, D-D? I was looking forward to more of Valen and Elizabeth's adventures with golems!

               Am I the only one that really doesn't like his voice? ;_; I found a video of his confession on tumblr and I listened to it for the first time in ages. And I was pretty disappointed. I think all the years of idolizing Valen made me forget what his voice sounded like. XD (I don't know if anybody has talked about this before in this monster post, I kinda skipped 40 or so pages.)

               I loved his English voice, only the German one ... sounded somewhat gay.

No, I'm still writing. xD

BUT Devil May Cry has pulled me in again. Damn Dante and his adorkableness. Plus I'm currently without my laptop, which has all my files on it. D:

I'll probably update again sometime late July to early August.

               Yes! I FOUND THE THREAD AGAIN!

Took me long enough. '>

And I came in to express my off-topic delight of the fact that one of my friends was getting rid of his old games and came by yesterday to drop off his copy of NWN Diamond because he knew I was trying to hunt down a copy! *Evil dance of happiness* The only bad news is the disc is pretty beat up, but as long as it installs, I'll be happy enough to see what this Valen guy is all about.

Cheers folks!

               Valen was my first crush. The joys of playing the game when you were like, ten I guess. XD

What his voice sounds like. Sorry this is not an English version, but the smooth and sexiness are all the same.

Thanks for thebunia for making this vid.

I actually like his voice better in Polish, LOL.

               Ahh Valen. I remember him well. For years, out of Bioware video game history he was the only man I'd ever truly loved and wrote squealing fangirl fiction for. For me, it wasn't his VA, it was his personality - he was wonderful. A good man, but no so good he's unafraid of getting his hand dirty. Moody but mostly kind, sensitive to the point where once he falls in love with the female hero he can't  even take joke. Surpinsingly poetic and romantic. He and Mass effect Thane are the only video games characters I've ever really felt anything for - the rest were just a fling. '>

I noticed the bolded part. Second time I walk down a path in the Underdark, and all of then sudden, I hear Valen talking and I'm going "Crap! Did we get attacked?! I knew I should've rested up everybody!" 

Turned around and he was reciting poetry. 

...

And I liked it. '>

               Valen's one of few characters that I want to just lie on while they chat on about whatever they like, just so I can listen to his lovely voice. The only other two in this category is Fenris from DA2 and Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series.

               So, I just completed round 1 of HotU...

And I adored it. Valen was awesome and I managed to romance him (Huzzah! I was worried I'd mess up my first time through... I always mess something up) Deeks! I loved the kobold until when we were trying to free the Knower of Names and he kept telling me to launch of the catapult at all of the wrong places.

The only part I disliked: My chaotic neutral druid's true name was kind of masculine despite she being... well, a she! (Murdus the Wild, Judge of Cania)

Next round? Trying for a neutral good or chaotic good Sorceress/Ranger and go for the Arcane Archer spec (basically, my favorite spec in NWN2, so let's see how I like it in the original).

               I dislike the default True Names. I'm always like;  (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ Y U SUCK SO BAD?

But whatever. I ignore the PC true names. ಠ_ಠ

Valen's, though? ohgodyes. Demonwrestler.

Oh, there are so many ways I took that to the gutter-- but this thread seems much more innocent then the Fenris one, so hey, I'm not going to be the one to get in trouble for putting gutter things up.

Also, I'm not allowed to get bored. Ever. I went to go do something else, got distracted, and started a pet-project to convert TS2 face data to NWN heads, and then to put it my own skintones.

This is the product (not even my actual primary character-- just a temporary to check the lips).

I'm not allowed to get bored.
