Xan Romance won't start

[Ankhesenpaaten]

I have the GOG version of BG1 now and have two games going, one with Gavin and one with, I had hoped, Xan.

 

My pc meets the requirements. But every time I leave the Nashkel Mines Xan NEVER speaks his first LT. I've checked my Weidu Log and I've installed everything. I've also reinstalled just to be sure. But when I reload, again and again Xan says nothing.

 

I do have the PID Menu, but just the normal talk one, not the romance one. If he had begun LT #1 I wouldn't be concerned, but he doesn't say, "The Sky!" etc.

 

I do have Gavin in the party but it is too soon for Gavin and my pc to be involved in this game and I even experimented with killing Gavin in the Mines before leaving. But nope...Xan remains silent.

 

Female fighter CG Elf with good stats. I don't get the problem. Is there any way to force the first LT?

I'm feeling DOOM, people...DOOOOOM!

Let's see... I think killing Gavin in the Nashkel mines should be a definite prerequisite for NOT starting Xan romance, actually(if I were Xan, I'd just run away - if she killed that good-natured cleric just because she could, what would she do to ME?) but seriously, you got everything right, unless Coran or Ajantis slept with your PC while you weren't looking. I've only got v18; will check v20. Wonder why is it "required modification for v12" in your log, though - you've got v12? That's gotta be ancient...

 

My first recommendation would be deleting your override and mod directories, repacking a clean install and restoring your save with only BG1 NPC installed; my second recommendation would be checking Xan's romance and match variables, if the elf is still silent: X#XANMatch and X#XARomanceActive; post them here, if they're both not at 1. If he talks, my third recommendation would be installing Gavin and proceeding normally. Please remember that Gavin romanceactive=2 correctly kills Xan's.

 

P.S. I checked flags for Xan's first talk and re-checked his and Gavin's scripts, everything should be normal, unless the area you're in erroneously got flagged by DUNGEON or something(joking, can't happen, unless someone's been really dumb; anyway, can't happen). So, my first recommendation stands - clean install.

I did indeed have v12 in my mods folder... so it could have been my mistake. I've been collecting my mods in a folder for years and perhaps installed it instead of v20? Hmm... Well, what I just did earlier this morning after reading your post I tried for the hells of it to just reinstall v20. I thought I'd give it a shot.

 

Well, it asked me if I wanted to "Reinstall" everything it asked me about separately. So...I dunno! Well, I did just that. I hit "reinstall" for everything and began a new game.

 

Now it works! *puzzled but delighted* And Imoen was chatty since the beginning, which I had forgotten about.

 

Thank you for your quick response! I've really missed Xan.

 

Oh, and yeah, killing Gavin was so wrong - but it was just an experiment to see if Xan would kick in and speak! But he's now alive and well.

 

I wonder if the first times I tried not starting a new game was the problem. Well, now I know. Thank you again.
