Sex In A Cave, RPG Style
Dude, my Baldur's Gate II character just totally had sex in a cave! Twice.
I was not aware it was even possible for this particular lovetalk of Anomen's to trigger in a dungeon area; possibly it was because we were still within the confines of the city. My character is a paladin, so I tend to use the pirate cave behind the Sea's Bounty tavern as a stronghold until I can be bothered killing Firkraag. (It's a great temporary refuge for fighters, druids and rangers as well, since theirs are inconveniently out of town.) Hence, cave sex. Possibly Anomen told her to think of it as a love grotto [1].
The thing of it is, it's not a very big cave, especially with six people in it. I can only imagine that Keto and Yoshimo, uh, entertained each other as well, leaving Xan stuck with babysitting Minsc, Boo and Lilacor [2].
I am a terrible person for thinking that with all the extra relationships and romantic encounters that have already been written for this game, it's a dreadful oversight that nobody has yet added an orgy mod.
[1] First person to name the reference wins a no-prize.
[2] Mod NPCs for the win.

Also, that's rather awesome. I didn't think Paladins did stuff like that. And also also, where are you *getting* these mods?

You win this wonderful No-Prize! < >

Those Order of the Radiant Heart memembers can surprise you, apparently. Keep in mind this is after Anomen passes his knighthood test, so they're both Paladins in a way *g*. Mind you, the deities in this Forgotten Realms don't seem that interested in their worshipper's sex lives unless they're actual gods of sex.
And also also, where are you *getting* these mods?
Every Infinity Engine modification ever released is listed at the Pocket Plane modlist. Given that there are 460 listing for Baldur's Gate II alone, though, that's pretty daunting for a beginner! If you're interested, a few notes ...
There are lots of different kinds of mods out there. Some are designed to make the game harder. You don't want to go near those. Anything that says 'Tactics' or 'Anvil' is to be avoided.
Others aim to tweak the rules or fix things the original developers got wrong. One of these is a must-have even if you don't want to otherwise modify your game - the G3 BG2 Fixpack repairs many, many bugs not fixed by the official patches. I also strongly recommend the Refinements mod, which changes the Higher Level Abilities you gain access to in Throne of Bhaal to make the various classes and kits more balanced and cooler. It has a couple of other optional components. If you ever plan to have Jaheira or Cernd in your party, if only to complete the Druid grove quest, the shapeshifting fix is awesome.
Other mods add more quests, which can be a blessing if you've played it multiple times and seen everything the original game has to offer. Similarly, there are mods that add spells and items to the game, which can be fun but are not necessary. The only one I'd suggest for someone new to mods is Unfinished Business, which restores a lot of material that the developers cut for lack of time and money. Especially notable for giving Minsc a personal quest: the Kidnapping of Boo!
There are also mods that add more banter to your game, which I strongly recommend. Chatty NPCs are entertaining NPCs. There's the Banter Pack from Pocket Plane and the NPC Interaction Project. The latter is looking to expand the game in several interesting directions in future, but it already adds lots of interesting new dialogue. There are also the NPC Flirt Packs which add more depth to the romances already in the game.
Speaking of romances, through the wonders of modding it is now possible for to romance Nalia, Edwin or Imoen. There's also Romantic Encounters which allows the PC to sleep with ... just about everyone in Faerun, far as I can tell. Dozens of non-joinable NPCs, in adition to Yoshimo, Cernd, Valygar and Haer'Dalis. (I have not played that one yet.)
Finally, people have added dozens of new NPCs to the game. Some of them are egregious Mary Sues with violet eyes and 25 Dexterity, and some are fabulous, three-dimensional characters I'm thrilled to have in my party. Many are romanceable. Alora, Branwen, Kivan, Tiax and Xan have also been added to BGII, and an Ajantis mod is almost finished.
