Heylo. I was wondering if anyone could give me a tip on how to set the romantic characters' romance factor (heh) to 1 or to whatever would be best. I've been looking all throughout the directories but nothing seems to pop out at me. I've wanted to get into Vic's panties for quite sometime now, but in a vain attempt to be clever earlier in the game I think I may have turned her off by playing hard to get. Anyone help me out?

What did you say to her.

Well it was way back in Chapter 3 and I'm now in the Underdark so I don't remember the exact words but I wasn't choosing the "nice" answers. I was choosing the seemingly neutral answers, not the rude ones but the "sorry not interested" types. do i have any chance with her at all? I've read that you can set "ViconiaRomance to 1" but I don't know how.

Baaaad luck... game over, sorry no bonus. Try again

well, chose the "Nice" ones insted next time, that is what work with her.
and never say "sorry but no","sorry not interested" and thing like that to her.
And save the game sereval times in diferent slots to prevent things like that of happening, so you can go back and try something else. If you are not getting something from her, try to rest, she will talk to you.(3 times, were you get the chance to sleep with her)

Doh! Oh well. Guess i better start groping Aerie. But just for reference's sake, how do you adjust the romance dialogues for the characters?

The following assumes a few things:

(1) Viconia's romance value "ViconiaRomanceActive" is 1
(2) Viconia's romance value "ViconiaRomanceOut" is 0

If you want to reset her romance dialogues, you CAN do the following, from the CLUAConsole:

First, get Viconia's "LoveTalk" rating, by putting your cursor over her paperdoll or portrait, then typing:
CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("LoveTalk","*LOCAL")
* The correct word is either LOCAL or LOCALS, so if one word doesn't give you a value, use the other word in its place.

Now, lets say that you wanted to start Viconia's romance dialogues back to the beginning, the first dialogue she has with you; once more, place your cursor on either Viconia's paperdoll or her portrait, then type the following at the CLUAConsole:

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("LoveTalk","*LOCAL",1)
* Again, the word might be LOCALS, so after attempting to set that value, check it with GetGlobal.

So, assuming that you've done all of this correctly, Viconia is now poised to initiate dialogue with your character. The next step is to force her first dialogue to trigger; you do this by typing the following at the CLUAConsole:

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("ViconiaRomance","GLOBAL",1)

This SHOULD force the dialogue to trigger. However, if the dialogue doesn't appear, make sure that "ViconiaRomanceActive," a Global value, is set to 1, and "ViconiaRomanceOut," also a Global value, is set to 0. You can use the SetGlobal command at the CLUACOnsole to check and set these values if need be.

I am sure that I am forgetting something, but if the above method works for you, then it really didn't matter.

THX! I'll have to look at all that when I get home from work, but it should answer my question as much as possible. I think I've exhausted any natural reactions from her so I may try it with Aerie.

Bro'Drake!!! You are a cold one,toying with Viconia in this way!
By the way,Vic is by far the best choice since in the end you will get a nice reward for all your lovetalk in the form of two items!

Aerie was getting quite close to me but then sleazy Hair'Dalis came into the party and starts chatting her up, sort of. How far does this romance stuff go with these characters?

well since I did not want to start the game all over again I did Viconia and Aerie romances by cheats.I like Viconia over Aerie romance since we at least get something from Viconia.
Aerie is the worst, The only thing we got is the chance to be her "first", we dont get even a small reward for the efort or a nice ending.

Yes, the CLUAConsole is quite a powerful tool, more so than Shadowkeeper at times (seeing as it allows you to affect BG2 in real time).

Although I did get the most enjoyment out of BG2 by simply playing the game through; discovering what I might expect for future characters was very fulfilling.
