You know that the realms are filled with bad fathers when you for a moment think that Angelo is pretty decent one. At least he doesn't leave his daughter to be executed for a crime he took part in framing her for. How could I forget him?
Oh by the way, about Shandalar, that house in central Baldur's Gate isn't his house. It belongs to Oberan, the mage who you find on the second floor.
Shandalar's daughters were just staying there for a bit. Entar had the money to hire someone else to raise his daughter to not be a doormat. Big fail imho. Isn't Angelo the reason Shar-teel is kinda a psycho man-hater? I kinda assumed that. I was aware of that; I was under the impression his poor parenting was a major contributor to his daughter's issues.
Isn't there heavy handed hints of abuse? Who makes the worst father of the Realms? Here is a quick rundown of my candidates: Cernd : After getting his wife pregnant, but before he learns this yeah right! When he finds out he has a son, he hurriedly runs off to rescue the child - and leaves him with other druids while he goes off adventuring again!
The rest, as they say, is history. Coran : Runs out on his pregnant and married mistress. When he later learns that he has a daughter, he goes only so far as to save her life, before leaving the infant with the now widowed mother. Keldorn Firecam : Leaves his family for extended periods of time to go adventuring.
