Thanks, Sabre. Hmm..Actually I should have mentioned this. Will this work to start the romance if I start a new ToB game?

Sorry, let me know

Yes, it will start a romance in ToB. The new script file for Viconia (and Aerie, Jaheira and Anomen) check to see whether the RomanceActive global is 2 or not. If it is, then the timer will start and the new LoveTalk value will be set.

If you want, I can send you a new script file that will start the romance automatically, without you changing the global.

That'd be great, go ahead and send it.

Thanks again

While were on the romance subject is there any way to go through the love dialogues faster than just waiting around for it to come up?... It takes longer to finish the Romance than the game itself for me.

You can reset the romance timer with CLUAConsole by typing the following:

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal(“JaheiraRomance”,”GLOBAL”,1)

(Obviously you need to substitute the name of the character if you are not romancing Jaheira.) This doesn't always work because sometimes there is another event that needs to happen first, especially with Jaheira's romance.

I don't really recommend messing around with this as it can become very frustrating and it kind of spoils the illusion that the romance is really happening. A better option would be to download the flirt packs to fill in the time while you are waiting for something to happen.

help!!

sorry about the length of the post but i wanted to get all the details in...

i have been trying to get viconia to switch alignments and i know i have to be in a romance to do that. unfortunately, my romance with her finished (all the way through: LoveTalk variable set to 77) in SoA.

so i decided to come here to learn how to restart it, but nothing seems to be working.

I have reset the LoveTalk variable with
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("LoveTalk","LOCALS",53)
(a talk with no consequences) and checked it with
CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("LoveTalk","LOCALS")
and yes, i had my cursor over Viconia's portrait

then i tried resetting my timer with
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal(“ViconiaRomanceActive”,”GLOBAL”,1)
...
waited a while
...
set the RomanceActive global to 2
...
waited
...
set it to 1
...
set it to 1 again
...
you get the picture. any ideas what i am doing wrong? i have tried resting in the pocket plane and outdoors in the "real world".

from what i can tell i *must* have a lovetalk between meeting with the Master Wraith outside of Nyalee's temple (where Viconia meets the shade of her brother) and besting Yaga Shura.

so, any ideas? many thanks.

First of all, I don't think it is just any Lovetalk that you have to have before fighting Yaga Shura, but a particular one. I assume you got that from Dan Simpson's (or some other) walkthrough? What he means is that if you want Viconia to convert, you must have a particular conversation with her that only occurs between talking to the Master Wraith and viewing the sack of Saradush.

It has to do with her quesioning her value system that starts as a result of the MR taunting her about her brother. So you basically need to give the girl time to think after the shock of her encounter with the MW. In other words, don't rush straight to the Seige Camp until she starts a conversation. Spend some time mucking about in Saradush or your pocket plane, or even Watcher's Keep first.

But more to your specific problem: I suspect that the romance would have been fine if you hadn't messed with the variables. Lovetalk 77 is the last one for SoA, but they continue on in ToB with a completely different set. Lovetalk 53 is an SoA value and won't work in ToB, so setting it there is only going to screw things up.

You can try resetting things back to the way they were, but I don't know how much sucess you will have. See my warning above about how frustrating this can become. My advice: go back to a save game before you started messing with things and just play it cool.

thanks for the tip, JoC. i have already done some more research and found the ExpLoveTalk variable but i don't think i can put everything back so it looks like i will go back to saradush and kill gromnir again.
