Romance questions

Post by SoulScream »

I'm now seconds from beating up bodhi, but before that happens I want to start a romance with jaheira, since it will give me an extra quest and so on.
So I've done the pause-bg2-and-wait-for-the-bloody-dialogues-to-appear thingy.
But I'm not sure I've got it right tho, and looking at the boards is just making me even more confused =).
So here is how far I've gotten:
There has been two diffrent persons talking to Jaheira AFTER we cleaned out the harpers hold, and I didn't attack either of them.
And in the dialogues themselves I've come to where she's talking about how dirty her armor is and that it needs cleaning.
Am I on the right track here?
I used Shadow Keeper to check the romance value, but the whole thing is just confusing me hehe.
Any help on this whole thing you be greately appreciated.

First off, do you have ToB installed? This impacts her romance.

Secondly, it sounds like you are on the right track. However, her romance is buggy.

The main variables involved in Jaheira's romance

LoveTalk - This is a local variable that keeps track of Jaheira's romance dialogs - you can find this under the Affects tab in ShadowKeeper - very rarely do you want to change this directly, since it can cause more problems.

JaheiraRomanceActive - This is a global variable that keeps track of what stage Jaheira's romance is in.

JaheiraRomance - This is the timer in Jaheira's romance. You can force the next dialog by expiring this via the console.

Some of Jaheira's dialogs require certain conditions to be met before they'll occur - such as being in a wilderness area, a romance-related event, etc. In general, her romance will not advance in chapters 4, 5, or 7.

@Sojourner , were you involved into the jaheira romance patch for BGII? I noticed that Sojourner is mentioned in the readme file.

I didn't do any of the coding, though I answered a bunch of Manveru's questions on the files involved in Jaheira's romance. ;)
