Peony Romance Bug

[Guest Tempest]

Domi, this is continued from my report of the bug with the Peony romance-I went ahead and started chapter 3, but I'm still not getting the option to talk to Peony in private, though I got a couple talks out of here in just seeing if she had anything to say.

 

You said to CheckVar("P#PeonyRomanceInactive","GLOBAL"), but the game reports there isn't any such variable, and I didn't see the variable when I opened the game up with DaleKeeper.

 

As for my character, I went ahead and cheated everyone to lv 30 with top gear-I'm running this mainly to see the character interaction and storyline. My character's info is as follows:

 

Chaotic Good Male Tielfling

Class: Rogue 30

STR: 12

DEX: 23

CON: 12

INT: 16

WIS: 8

CHA: 16

Bluff: 33

Diplomacy: 33

Intimidate: 33

Disable Device: 33

Open Lock: 33

Search: 33

Use Magic Device: 33

 

If it matters, the rest of my party consists of Sir Nord, Hildury, Valeero, Prachi, and of course, Peony.

 

And on a minor aside: I'm definitely enjoying the romance thus far. Playing the swashbuckling chaotic good rogue is a nice break from my usually dour characters, and Peony lets me play the swashbuckler to the hilt. Also notable for being the first romance with a gnome in an Infinity Engine game.

[Domi]

Okay, so your romance is active. I think you will be fine, but can you maybe see if you matched with her? Same thing for:

 

"P#PeonyMatch","GLOBAL" ?

[Guest Tempest]

Same thing-no variable according to the in-game console, and DaleKeeper doesn't see a variable by that name.

[Domi]

So, you didn't Match yet. Please, check if V19 takes care of the bug, and if it doesn't, I'd like to take a look at your save (appart from being curious about your seriously mighty party). Please, send to domi_sotto at gibberlings3 dot net

If it matters, I did have the talk-in-private option earlier-I made sure I finished all the lovetalks in chapter one before moving on, and had just been checking that I had all the lovetalks in chapter two when I noticed I didn't have the option.

 

Party's not really that mighty. Mostly a matter of giving everyone a +5 weapon of something or another, good suit of armor, putting everyone on "Fighter Anti-Caster" scripts, and letting them run loose, periodically having Peony drop an area effect spell to clean out the trash, and hitting ctrl-r whenever someone gets knocked down to 75% or so. Only time things went south was when Prachi got dire charmed in the horde fortress and killed Peony and Valeero.

[Guest Tempest]

Just installed the new version. The option to talk to Peony in private is still missing, and the game's still reporting P#PeonyRomanceInactive and P#PeonyMatch don't exist.

[Domi]

Okay, please, send me your saved game

[Domi]

I'm of course the root of all evil here. I uhm... matched Peony and Salomeya with a female PC, by the wonders of copy-pasting.

 

Please, set the P#PeonyMatch to 1, and the whole issue will get fixed. Corrected locally, of course

 

Same for Salomeya!

 

Putting this in the quick and dirty fixes for Alpha 19.

[Guest Tempest]

That did the trick! Now, I'm just wondering when Sir Nord will feel the need to do an Aunt Jaheira act...

[Domi]

ATM romance reactions come only from romance conflicting characters, ie Salomeya and Rizdaer in Peony's case. I guess, at some point I wrote so many romantic reactions, that I kind of got diillusioned in the idea.
