cmorgan Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 OK, commentary: In very few cases do mods allow the kind of back and forth flow of a close relationship, or even a passing resemblance to one. Canonical BioWare romances have NPC/NPC bickering, followed by an opportunity for PC to give their choice, but no way for the PC to renegotiate without cheating/CLUAConsole resetting. Even kicking out a BioWare NPC kills romances, with no renegotiation - we even have a whole section of Crossmod dedicated to shutting down NPC romances to stop them tripping over each other. And as far as far as arguments go, long-time players have learned that in BG2-Land, saying something like "You are a stupid idiot" is the response that kills the romance permanently, and often leads to the NPC in question leaving FOREVAR in a snit or just sullenly going along for the rest of the game until the player either reloads or dumps them off someplace nasty and leaves. There are lots of good reasons for this, including but not limited to coding difficulties for multiple romance tracks/states of friendship/timing of multiple romances against eachother/need for clarity or consistency for the player so that they can tell when they are choosing "good" "evil" "neutral" "kick the NPC "/etc. Plus, there are character-drien reasons - Jastey's Ajantis is a Paladin of the Old Skool. Would he be acting as a Paladineven if he were not one? Undoubtably, nequivacably, YES. The dude lives, eats, breathes, and exudes Knighthood and Chivalry; so if you say "kill that slave, boy", he might reason with you, then refuse, or perhaps just leave the party and defend the slave - he is not likely to argue about it, try to have some rapproachment and compromise... it does not fit his character to stand by idly while others do evil, even at the cost of his own life. Similarly, Berelinde's Gavin has a very wide degree of lattitude granted by his personality and background. He might indeed have a set of arguments develop that are long-term (and the opportunities are there in the mod, too). But he has some set limits, and a developed sense of self - he has a family, and things that ground him. There are things that would not be fodder for arguements. There are even times when you could convince him to stay in spite of your (female PC's) abhorrent behavior, and to a certain point and for a certain number of times, that is tolerable in his eyes. But there are limits to everthing, and he does have (a very, very few) times where his sense of himself says forget it". But here in Aran, we have a Companion. Unless the PC is at a reputation of 1 or 0, he is going to stick around and wait for the PC to kick him out. He might start grumping at a low reputation PC, or even look for ways to get PC to fire him if there is slaver involvement - and in some cases, you can do some pretty nasty things to him as a female PC in the romance. For the guys, well, no so much - he gets quieter and grumpier, but in general, a contract is a contract. He knows PC is the most likely ticket to success. The whole concept revolves around Player Choice - and in that respect it is uncomfortably close to RL, where situational ethics slide deeper and deeper in whatever direction the social group goes. The soldier, police officer, FBI agent, politician, etc. who would never intentionally murder anyone may eventually come to see the necessity of following orders to kill innocents as either collateral damage or as protection/reprisal. Or slide all the way into "the enemy is not human and therefore there are no rules". (getting offtopic. I should write this stuff out firts instead of just blasting it into a post - but where is the fun in that ) But we need him to have some mechanism for dealing with an abusive or consistently evil PC. As final writing runs out we may have an opportunity to clone and rebuild some of this apology stuff for male PCs, dealing with party infighting, but they are much easier to resolve; a very broad category of "put up and shut up" comes defacto in many male relationships, and an apology can be two guys bumping fists and saying "we good?" or even "grunt". Plus, in a male PC to male NPC relationship, or in D&D, there is also the party member vs henchman vs hireling relationship, where an NPC can move up and down the scale from full-fledged equal, to loyal friend/backer, to hired sword. So for the male side, if there is a talk that can lead to a friendship fight that demands PC or NPC acknowledge and move on (there currently is not) we can make that one short, siple, and direct: [PC] Hey. You spoke out of line. Don't do it again. We good? [PC] Hey. I spoke out of line. We good? [PC] If you can't follow orders without backtalk, I understand. Do it too many times, and you are history. [PC] This isn't working out. Get lost. [PC] Stand still. I am about to hand you your intestines, one square foot at a time. [ARAN] We be fine. [ARAN] Got it. [ARAN] I am out. [ARAN] **** you an' th' horse you rode in on. BUT - female PCs have the whole possibility of the romance. And it can be stopped, paused, restarted, have flirts that are initiated by Aran happen or not, be able to flirt or not, have been in bed with the lad before committing to a permanent relationship (which in itelf is completely PC driven - Aran does not shut down anyone's romances - the player has to shut them down, just like in RL)... Which means for female PCs we need two states that can be referenced multiple times for multiple reasons. 1. Aran apologises - timered, game time of 1, 2, or 3 days, and Aran comes calling. Then PC can do everything from apologise herself to just tick him off more for a longer timered setting, all the way to kicking him out and killing him (or at least trying to) on the spot. 2. PC tries to apologise - PID initiated, 50% chance he will just do the typical "silent treatment", 50% chance there will be talking, in which case the same range of options appear. The Loyalty Quests in ME2 are a good example of one way of implementing this based on Paragon/Renegade scores built over the course of the game, NPC interactions can be resolved, and with a high enough "influence" PC can deny an NPC their most-wanted resolution, have them go off in a snit, and then talk them back into being loyal. We are a littel limited by my design choices up front; if this were Domi's, Jastey's, or Berelinde's work, there would be increments and de-increments of a central variable that tracks the PC<>NPC relationship. But since that is essentially meaningless for Aran, there is no such variable available. That means we want interesting, spicy, fun ways of allowing PCs to either extend or resolve the argument, open for all playstyles, from the lawful evil fighter to the chaotic good sorcerer and all point in between. Or, at least as many as I can toss in, and as many ideas as you folks come up with Link to comment
