I have been playing through the Jahiera romance...going along doing my good deeds...solving quests and working toward leveling up to 14 (I am a druid)...dee-du-dee-du-dee....

And, not really paying attention, I let my reputation get up to 18....All of the sudden Jahiera dropped her famous "where to now fearless leader" line on me...Oops! Is the romance dead?

Shortly after her "fearless leader" line, I did get one more dialog...About her armor being dirty and needing to be cleaned...I was going to choose the second response - don't remember what it was, but basically it was the "middle ground" response...But I acidentally clicked #3 which was the very weak "your armor looks well worn - well worn on you" line...heh...Would that line work on anyone? She thanked me for trying to cheer her up, but then told me that my silver tongue needed some smithing that it was too blunt...Oops again!

So, is the romance terminally damaged? Is it too late to salvage? Should I run out in the street and slaughter a child in front of her to lower my reputation and thus impress her?

Thanks!

AFAIK, your reputation shouldn't mess up the Jaheira romance.

No you should be fine. Just being a bit of a ham doesn't scare her away. I've gone through with her RPing a somewhat silly character and took the cheesier lines as long as they weren't evilish.

You can always check to make sure the JaheiraRomanceActive variable isnt 3 (which would mean its over).

Oh and kopy is correct. You can't kill the J romance with a rep thats too high. She only gets slightly annoyed by that. There might be problems if your rep gets super low though.

Edited: thanks for the correction, thats the one I meant

@Glod
You mean of course JaheiraRomanceActive variable.

@Khazad

The only thing you'll need to avoid are the "quit whining" or "get lost" comments. That, and be sure to favor her whenever a rival romance dialog comes up. I've maxed my rep both times I've played through, and it doesn't affect your romance a bit. Also, I haven't had any evil character desert my party simply because of party rep, so don't sweat it.
