    I once played through the game with an elven warrior with 21 BE. Everyone was in love with me, even Belle.

    Beeing your apprentice is boring. I hate studying.

    I could always just throw you into my Rabid Koala Pit.

    I fucking wish it had PsT-like controls.

    That would have made the game perfect.

    The best party control in the game is achieved if you press Enter, then write Virgil Fuck You (or the name of any other party member) and press Enter again.

    Sure, why not. Though I'd probably kick the shit out of those rabid koalas.

    Obviously you've never been bitten by a koala. Ah well, your pain, not mine. Have fun!

    Sorry, sorry, couldn't stop myself...

    It's all a matter of perspecive. That's the reason why I only clean my appartment when it's on the fringe of becoming a regional biohazard; you need to see the bad before you're able to see the good.

    Virgil is a strange NPC i cant quite figure out what he is, a thief, a healer, a fighter, or a mage. But, at least, he is quite cool, and tried even to speak for me in one quest.

    Nah! Trade him to Xaio. She has plenty of things more useful than Virgil and it makes her happy.

    Dangit, Puppy! Don't go giving away all my plans yet!

    *ahem* Who me? Nah, I'm not plotting the overthrow of mankind. I just want my very own harem of spell-casting men. I'm not greedy.

    A world unified around one ruler who was not either myself or DE would not sit well with us, we would be forced to both be in the same place at the same time and you remember what that will do.

    Well, like I said. I'm not planning on conquering the world, just enslaving a few men who would have been potential competitors or opponents who would inevitably have become thorns in your side.

    Hell, you should be thanking me for saving you the trouble of obliterating them.

    Well, so far i cant quite say controlling a party is worse than in BG series. Even quite the opposite. This game has a turn based more, which is a huge bonus. No more spacebar spamming. No need to select everyone to move. No need to give attack orders. No need for extensive micromanaging. Tactical controls are also quite advanced, followers can attack specific targets, they are able to peacefully follow. And an added roleplay bonus of them being independent creatures. Thats pretty much everything covered already, except for spells.
