    What we asked:

    Q: If you could have a romance with any of the NPCs that can join you in Baldur's Gate 2, which one would you pick?
    (827 votes total)

    Viconia (205) 25%
    Imoen (202) 24%
    Aerie (130) 16%
    Jaheira (85) 10%
    Nalia (81) 10%
    Mazzy (35) 4%

    Haer'Dalis (21) 3%
    Valygar (14) 2%
    Minsc (11) 1%
    Yoshimo (9) 1%
    Edwin (8) 1%
    Jan (7) 1%
    Keldorn (6) 1%
    Cernd (6) 1%
    Anomen (4) 0%
    Korgan (3) 0%

    I had this feeling that some people would start an uproar over this poll, but I never imagined it would last for so long...
    The problem is, some people who voted don't really know enough about the game so as soon as they saw Imoen on the list they started calling everyone who voted for her sick and so on. Well, they show their ignorance as soon as they call Imoen sister, when she is in fact only your half-sister.
    Anyway, a couple of days after this poll was set up, a topic about it was opened on our message boards, so go check that out if you want to hear all the pros and cons regarding it.

    The fact remains that most people would love to be able to have a romance with Imoen, which is perfectly understandable, what with all you've been through together. Remember, we don't actually learn about Imoen's heritage till Spellhold...

    While Viconia is the winner of the poll, only a few minutes before I changed polls, Imoen was still in the lead, so I'll call it a tie.

    The third most popular female was Aerie, with a little over 15% of people voting for her. Jaheira fares only marginally better than Nalia (both gained 10% of votes), which is quite surprising. It looks like in the end, Jaheira doesn't come out any better than she did in the original Baldur's Gate.

    As I suspected, the halfling paladin-wannabe Mazzy got the least votes, only 4%.

    As far as men are concerned, it is quite obvious that a overwhelming majority of women absolutely hated Anomen, who is the only romance option for women in the game. Only Korgan fared worse, and only by one vote. Obviously Bioware should have hired a woman to pick a more suitable romance partner.

    The absolute winner among men is Haer'Dalis, as I suspected. Follower-ups are Valygar, Minsc, Yoshimo, Edwin, Jan, Keldorn and Cernd.
