Bohdi, Romance and Unwilling Vampires

Curufin · Post by **Curufin** » Thu Apr 19, 2001 4:28 pm

Well, after reading a lot of posts and playing BG2 for the 5th time (have to try each class, right?), I think I finally figured out the event that triggers whether or not Bohdi zaps your PC's SO with vampirism.

Spoiler alert (sort of)............

You may meet a Shadow Thief when you first enter the Temple district. This thief elocutes a poem that contains hints about the vampires. I have only had the object of the PC romance hit with vampirism if this encounter took place way back at the beginning of the game. It happened twice in five tries through the game.

Anyone else noticed this? (ANd sorry if I missed this thread in an earlier post, I haven't had time to go through everything. )

I've never had this encounter

I think you'll find she only bites them if you've reached the last lovetalk value (i.e. reached the end of the romance).

Actually i belive it only happens if you get nasty with your romancee. (Well, a certian lovetalk variable for you lamers

)

I never got nasty with Jaheira, but she got turned into a vampire. There was some firey vengance for that one let me tell you.....

Hmm, you might be right! The last few times I played, I didn't meet this guy, but before my romances got vamped...But the poem is more about the guild war...

I think Bodhi's actions hinge on the "xRomanceActive" variable, where x is the name of your romantic interest... When the PC and romantic interest are "exclusive" that xRomanceActive value is set to 2.

At least, that's what I think.

Interesting, and that sounds right. The expansion is going to base whether the romance should continue on that variable, so it seems logical that they used it for Bohdi too.

Good thinking.

Im having trouble with this quest. My romantic interest(viconia) has been truned into a vampire and I dont know what to do about it. I talked to the elven war sage and he said go to a temple of oghma, I went to the one in the docks district and I never had the dialogue option to tell them about it...can I get some help? am I doing something wrong?

I noticed the same thing, so i looked it up. Take the heart and the body to the ruined temple, and put it in the statue behind the Letter tile puzzle.

He means the Temple Ruins near the Umar Hills.
