Romance conflictees for Diriel

[Domi]

I insert romance conflicts into all the romances, and the primary conflicts for Diriel are obviously Jaemal and Rizdaer. I am thinking though about 'secondary' ones to liven up the dialogues.

 

Salomeya has that "what, you don't acknowledge me as an elf?! I'll show you!" so she is probably going to get a few lines in;

 

I am also thinking that Nord might be another possibility, seeing he's a mentor, and Diriel is not exactly an ideal romantic partner from a fatherly pov. On the other hand, he doesn't mind Rizdaer, but Rizdaer at least has some common sense going for him....

 

Opinions?

Valeero would probably disapprove of Mr. Genocide getting anywhere near her friend the PC, because Lathander is diametrically opposed to Diriel's philosophy.

[Domi]

Hmm, it's a valid point, but would she has a stronger case than Nord? Or just switch her with Salomeya because Salomeya managed to sneak her way into pretty much everything else?

[berelinde]

You don't need to have a maximum number of NPCs who object to Diriel's interest in the PC. I can see why several of them would. Salomeya because she's resentful, Nord because he's protective, Valeero because she opposes bigotry.

 

 

It might be more a question of who would approve of Diriel and the PC together.

[Shieara]

Yeah almost everyone would disapprove or might have a comment. I think exceptions would be Rizdaer, Nikosh, and maybe Prachi.

 

I think you can have many objections, but you will just need to try to make sure they don't all come at once.

I'd like to see Prachi's comment, too. Diriel and Salomeya both have sharp tongues - I wonder who'll win in the duel(and whether PC'll be able to insert a word - so far Salomeya beats PC in any conversation hands down).

[Domi]

I use 4 conflictees in all the other romances, but consistently throughout the first 5 talks. Maybe I can do it a bit different with Diriel, with the 2 primaries interjecting more cosnsitently, and the rest of the crowd would have interjected just once or something like that. Maybe it's a good solution without the obvious secondary interests.
