I'm stuck in the loop of Altoholism, aka the crippling addiction of making alternate characters, in Baldur's Gate 3 and had a fun idea. What would have happened if Neeshka from Neverwinter Nights 2 was the Tav? I mean, she can't be Dark Urge because that origin is already fully lored out, but Neeshka didn't have much going on canonically after NwN2 was done--she could have traveled up to Baldur's Gate at some point and gotten kidnapped by cultists. Why not? So, here she is, in updated modern graphics glory!
I think I got her face shape and horns pretty accurate; I picked the hair and hair color that was closest to what was in the original game, too. The eyes are a little brighter, but I couldn't resist giving her amber-colored eyes that looked a little on fire instead of just brown ones, since she is a tiefling. None of the tattoos looked right for the speckles she's supposed to have on her forehead, so I compromised by giving her freckles and then a nymph circlet to kind of mimic the forehead markings. She's a rogue, of course, and a Mammon tiefling, since I thought that was fitting for her, and still worships Tymora. I think she looks pretty snazzy. =)

i'm realizing i like wayyyy more of the companions in nwn2 now that i'm an adult, which is making replaying it really fun
furthermore we're now at a troubled young woman count of 5 including shandra. plus their current paladinic chaperone casavir, whose hairline is visibly receding due to the stressors of corraling five girls who run hot/cold on liking each other vs. wanting to tear each other's hair out hour by hour

Can’t relate to the people who make astarion pick locks/disarm traps. In my party he isn’t allowed to even look at a locked door. Get out of the way I have advantage on all sleight of hand checks and can’t roll lower than a 23

I looked up what Neeshka was originally like in Neverwinter Nights 2 and she is an absolute cutie! She's witty and sassy, but friendly and happy to just be around people who treat her kindly. I love her so much. The Skyrim Romance Mod *really* did her dirty, Neeshka needs some justice I swear.
PREACH!!!
