Let's Read and also Play Baldur's Gate: Bhaal must be stopped!

[Nerd-o-rama]

The love interest in Eragon is...okay. She's the more modern "ass-kicking warrior woman who needs the male protagonist to help her learn how to deal with Feelings and occasionally rescue her when she manages to get in over her head" archetype rather than the "useless screaming horror movie victim" Jaheira's turned into here. So, really, a lot closer to Game Jaheira than Book Jaheira, although without the awkwardness of starting off married.

Still a paper-thin wish-fulfillment character, but not outright offensive.
