Bug with the romances?

[Zethre]

I believe I may have a bug with the romances.

 

I have Xan, Ajantis and Coran in my group, as well as Imoen and Jaheira. I've been playing for over 20 hours, all my stats are OK for Xan and Coran (though I realised too late Ajantis doesn't really like Thieves), from time to time they speak to me - but each time, instead of getting the lovetalks mentioned in the Romance Guide, I just get the same choice of flirts as when I force-talk them - as I say, I believe this is a bug, but could someone let me know whether this IS a bug, and if so, why it might be happening?

Try to re-install romance timers for Xan and Coran. (Run setup, skip through the components and pick up new values for these two.)

That's not it. Her scripts are there because she has the timers going.

 

What most likely had happened is that when you have installed/reinstalled or something like that the Flirt option ended up top of the J file, instead of being on the bottom. Start with unisntalling it.

 

Check that the PID menues stopped appearing (ie not hanging on the files due to multipole installs/cirrupted back up).

 

Uninstall the rest of the mod.

 

Reinstall it again, making sure that the PID option is compiled the last.

Thank you for your quick replies!

 

I will try uninstalling and reinstalling, and cross my fingers

 

er...what is the PID menu?

[Kulyok]

It's when your protagonist clicks on the other character, and gets the long list of replies; the full name is "player-initiated dialogues".

Player Initiated Dialogue menu (aka the flirts, though not all are actually flirts ).

[Domi]

When you are reinstalling it is imperative that you get the order of the options right. So, as the very first thing, uninstall the PID option, and see if it fixes the problem.

(snicker) Zethre is one lucky user to have three replies at once.

[Zethre]

Yes very lucky! Thank you

 

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the mod, and now I am getting the love talks at the appropriate times - although I am also getting them when I force talk them... instead of the "flirt" options, which is a bit odd, but infinately better than before, as the romance is much more realistic this way, now that they're actually saying things! I'm hoping that it is just that I am getting all the talks I missed, and once I have had those it will settle down. I shall probably play again and do another romance later, and maybe starting a new game will help.

 

THanks
