Viconia's romance switched (spoilers)

Hello!
First of all, I'm not using mods nor anything strange to the original game. I've installed the last patches as well.
I've been romancing Viconia during SoA. Everything was ok, I saved her after becoming a vampire, she said she loved me when we went down to fight Irenicus... Now I've started ToB and imagine my surprise when I see that the romance continues but not with Viconia, but with Jaheira!
Is this normal? I've checked it, and Viconia's romance is no longer active, while Jaheira's is. It's really weird. Perhaps I've done something wrong, does any of you know something about this? Is it a bug?
I've thought that perhaps it's a kind of trick. Maybe I should have been harsh with Jaheira when she first spoke to me in ToB to continue properly with Viconia's romance.

But I clearly finished her romance in SoA!!
Please, help!!

Hey Borja, I have posted in thread that may help you. I don't know how to post other threads. (HINT< maybe someone cane PM on how to do this??)
Run a search in the search string icon at the top. Search for Romance.
Near the bottem there is a post by Serenity, with me, Patrick as the last person posting. Check my post their. There are some CLUAConsole codes that may help you fix this quick. Good luck, let me know how you fare.

In ToB the romances you had in SoA restart, so if you romanced Jaheira in SoA, although it was finished in SoA, it will restart in ToB.
same should happen with Viconia, maybe you have to wait a little for some events to trigger the romance back.

Thanks a lot Patrick.

That's what I've done at the end. I don't like using cheats but hell, this case was an exception. I'll tell you if it works. Hope so.

It didn't work man.

At the end I've decided to restart from the final battle with Irenicus, removing Jaheira from my party and then summoning her in ToB. This has been the only way for Viconia's romance not changing to Jaheira. Anyway, it seems the romance is being too slow, it doesn't trigger. How long does it take after you start ToB? I'm about to leave Saradush.

I've checked Viconia and that's what appears. Is there anything wrong? Perhaps I'm just being too impatient and I still need to wait a bit.

Please, help! Viconia's romance is still cold as ice! I've found some hints in the FAQ section of www.mud-master.com That's what I've found:

My romance switched from Aerie or Viconia to Jaheira when I went to ToB.
This is actually an odd possibility that just came to my attention. At release (and with the current Beta Patch), the checks for continuing a romance in the expansion have a slight bug.
As I said before NameRomanceActive == 2 is for an exclusive relationship.
When importing to ToB, however, you can continue a romance with Jaheira if the lovetalk variable is 50 or higher (this is due to some bugs in SoA, see that thread for inform).
Doing this, however, has the potential to set JaheiraRomanceActive to 2, and thus set the other two (Aerie and Viconia) to 3 thus ending their romances...
reiella@yahoo.com

I managed to avoid this by removing Jaheira as I said in a previous post.

Why is my romance is active(2) but not proceding?
The new romances have a good number of their dialogs tied to major plot events. br Most of Viconia's text occurs from these in fact.br It could just be you aren't meeting the 'plot' requirements, or a timer hasn't passed yet.
reiella@yahoo.com

This should be an answer to my problem, but I've been waiting a lot of real time hours and nothing happened. I even left the game running by night and nothing. I've read in other posts that Viconia's romance is quite fast to start, and that the first dialogue appears at the beginning, in the pocket plane. Hell, this hasn't been the case. Plot requirements? Which plot requirements? Please, if any of you know an answer let me know. Thanks in advance to you all.
