How do the romances work?

[Ankhesenpaaten]

I am brand new to IWD2 and for my first run I of course had to install this mod! I really like the characters so far and want to try the romance/s with Rizdaer and Jamael. Anyway no dialogs for romance come up on their own. From the Readme am I reading right to have to just play for awhile and then hit the P key once in awhile? Is that how I am supposed to do it or do I just have to be further than I am and be patient that the dialogs will come up on their own?

Really sorry if I'm being dumb. For a game that is supposed to be the BG2 engine I am having a bit of a time figuring it out.

[Ankhesenpaaten]

Sigh...I guess it is a dumb question. Oh well maybe I'll just reinstall.

I can't wait to see all this. : )

I usually hit P in the beginning of each chapter, until all dialogue options are exhausted. I recall I got one or two scenery banters without pressing P, but that was it.

Unless I'm mistaken, you need to have party AI turned on for the banters to work properly.

Oh thank you both so much! I don't know about AI I'll have to check the little booklet with the game. I've never played this before and the party icons don't look like BG2 so I am confused. I also don't know how to select the entire party so I guess I should play around with the icons more.

I didn't know you could hit P until you exhaust options. I was afraid to do that in case I would inadverdently rush the romances too much and then have a lot of game left with no romance or conversations.

I honestly did try to check through this thread to see if anyone else had similar question as I do and didn't find anything pertinent. So thank you for helping. : )

At the bottom right corner of the screen is a circle divided into six parts, I believe. Outside the circle, in the corners, there are four little buttons. One of them has a rectangle on it that you use to select the group. Another has a picture of a human head in profile. That is the one that turns on party AI.

 

Hope that helps.

[Ankhesenpaaten]

Oh wow yes it does help thanks! : )

Basically, the P key is there to make things easier, and it's completely valid. A more 'natural' way to get the dialogues flowing is to rest a bit more often, as the timers are not real playing time, but 'game' time. Hope that helps!
