Grim Squeaker

First off, this was an absolutely awesome idea for an NPC I'll definitely take her along now that I'm starting a heavily modded SoA playthrough for the first time.

 

I realize that this is probably a very basic question, but I'd like to ask something; if I run into a romance conflict with any of the bioware NPC's and chose them over tyris, would changing the romance value for tyris back to 1 or 2 via shadowkeeper allow that romance to continue alongside the normal one? Or is it shut down forever if the value ever reaches 3, even if you would change it immediately afterwards?

 

The reason I'm asking this is primarily because I'd like to do the two 'good' romances (Aerie/Tyris) in one playthrough to save time.

 

-kind regards,

Lunattic

Erm... you'd have to do a bit of tinkering to that as it'll keep changing back to 3 if another romance is serious.

I finally played Tyris all the way thru TOB, was a very enjoyable romance.....1 question thou....i also did Watchers Keep and she never interjected there, wasnt there content for it? Or do i need to do it in Soa b4 going to tob

There should've been some, yeah. Will take a gander at the code at some point just to check nothing went horribly wrong.

Hope you liked whichever ending you got!

You should be able to just copy the new version into the BG2 directory (don't delete the old folder!) and then [R]e-install. The uninstalling then installing the new version way will work as well.

As for the music, just copy it from the BG2/override directory and convert it into an mp3 file. It's called G#TFSONG.wav. Alternatively, buy the Battlestar Galactica - Season 3 soundtrack.

And thank you.

Feel free to post any bugs and/or typos you encounter (no matter how small!) and I'll see about getting them fixed for the next version

You rang?

Consider yourself surprised, I'm afraid I don't have a copy. Sorry.

Much appreciated. Thank you!

Yep, once the romance is going properly then you get the flirts if you forcetalk her. Before then you'll get she "has nothing to say".

I'm having difficulty finding the question there.

Are you asking me to remake the creature files so she gets an extra level? Because I really, really don't want to do that just because of the time it takes to mess about with them and level them correctly etc etc. If someone wants to do it for me and make the creature files exactly the same as they were but with an extra level, I will gladly put them in but I just don't have the time and sanity to go through that again.

You'll be pleased to hear I pestered Meira and Darios about Amber ToB when I saw them in London

Added information on ToB lovetalks.

In general the only issue is her alignment, which means she'll be unhappy if you get a low reputation (and eventually leave it becomes too low). Otherwise it's just the standard "extremely evil actions" that will cause a problem e.g., handing over the silver dragon eggs to the demon.

Glad you're having fun

My brother decided to buy me the SEGA Mega Drive: Ultimate Collection for Christmas.

Yay for more Golden Axe-age on my Xbox!

Hmmm... if the variable is set to 12 (an even number) if means the talk is midway through running. Clearly in your case it's not, so I'm guessing you interupted it somehow. Set G#TF.Lovetalk back to 11 and the next talk should run.

Does it matter if your character is Evil, the rep is low, and your character is highly "uninteligant" (unintelligent), "not-so-charismatic", and "unenlightened" (Low wisdom)?

 

Or anything that interests the spell flinging, sword swinging woman will work?

 

For party-joining and romance that is, sorry if the FAQs or Readme have cleared that up

Nope, no restrictions like that. Be human, elven or half-and-half and have a penis. That's it.

How the hell haven't I made a smutty comment in response to this thread's title?

Here we go...

Is Tyris Flare a WeiDU mod?

Of course. She will play nicely with all other WeiDU mods.

Is there Throne of Bhaal content?

Absolutely! Make sure you've got at least version 4 and the story will continue all the way to the end.

But do I need Throne of Bhaal?

Nope. The mod works perfectly well with a Shadows of Amn only install. Though there was a bug prior to version to 4 that meant this was not the case.

Do I need to start a new game?

You shouldn't need to, no, but it can't hurt.

What class/attributes/hair colour does Tyris have?

Please read the "Tyris Flare, the NPC" thread to find out more.

Haven't you just stolen this character from Golden Axe?

Technically, yes. Though I'd like to think of it more as an homage. There's even a thread here to discuss this. As stated in the readme, if Sega wants to bitch slap me for this, the mod will quietly disappear into the night...

Where can I find Tyris?

In the Umar Hills during the day. Kind of near the cave...

Why is there no audio?

Aha, you must have an extremely early version. In the first couple of releases of Tyris, she had very limited voicing, however as of Version 3 she has all the voicing you'd expect from a BioWare NPC.

Can I romance/shag Tyris?

Yes/yes if your character is male and either human, elf or half-elf.

What are the romance's variables?

Pretty much the regular naming scheme, but prefixed. So if you want to check what state the romance is in check "G#TF.TyrisRomanceActive". If its 1, it's the early romance; 2 it's serious; 3 you killed it. If you want to check which lovetalk you're upto, check her local variable "G#TF.Lovetalk".

How many lovetalks are there?

In total there are 23 lovetalks in SoA and 8 in ToB (plus flirts, interjections, romance conflicts etc). So if you check "G#TF.Lovetalk" and the value is 47, that means you're at the end of the SoA romance track. In Throne of Bhaal, if you check "G#TF.ExpLovetalk" and the value is 15, you're just got the pre-final fight talk to go...

Probably a good idea, given how different they are. Some might say *too* different...

Valid questions. The LT 34 conflict with Aerie and Jaheira forces a choice.

And Tyris interjects into:

• Aerie LT 18 ("I don't know if I can face this wretched existence on the ground...")
  
• Aerie LT 26 ("I just feel like collapsing here and dying...") which forces a choice
  
• Jaheira LT 22 ("I worry sometimes...")
  
• Viconia LT 16 ("I may have been exceedingly harsh in my treatment of you once again...")
  

Here's the outline of Tyris' romance track, with appropriate additional information:

18* - "Why don't you talk about your old companions?"

20 -"I feel guilty about my companions..." (Conflict: A, V)

22 - "I'm not used to walking everywhere..."

24 - "Do you remember the first time you killed a man?"

26 - "How do you want to die?"

28 - "Sorry for the teary-eyed nonsense"

30 - "Do you think I should cut my hair?"

32 - "How do you cure the hiccups?"

34* - "Aches and pains" (Conflict: A, J)

* Triggered on rest

Please note this screenshot is currently inaccurate as with v6, she has now been dual classed at Level 7. New screenshot will be uploaded as soon as I can be bothered to take one.

When asked about her life before meeting you, TYRIS seems hesitant. When pushed she tells you about growing up in a small village on the edge of a large jungle. She was taught skills of fighting and survival by her parents and taught the ways of the arcane by the village shaman. Then one day she returned home to find her parents killed, apparently murdered by the villainous "Death Adder", however she refuses to give much more detail than this. She soon left the village and met up with a group of like-minded adventurers who were also keen to take revenge on Death Adder. They proceded to attack Death Adder's castle and it was duing this assault that she was transported to Toril.

Tyris Flare is an Amazonian woman who uses a sword. She is a muscular woman in a skimpy red and white bikini and red boots with mustard colored hair. Both her parents are murdered by Death Adder's forces, leading her to seek revenge in the first Golden Axe game. Her magic attacks are all fire based, including the summoning of a huge dragon. PlayStation: The Official Magazine refers to her as "one bad-ass girl."

The character first appeared in the Golden Axe game for the Mega Drive/Genesis (and also in arcades if memory serves) and again in the sequel. She was tastefully dressed in a bikini (not even a chainmail bikini!), kicked-ass and set people on fire. It was awesome.

In the early 90's Golden Axe was turned into a comic strip which appeared as part of Fleetway's Sonic the Hedgehog comics. Visually she looked quite different in this, however you can see that they saw what was important and kept her in a bikini

More recently the character was reinvented in Golden Axe: Beast Rider for current generation consoles. A bit more clothing this time and some awesome war paint.

How does all this relate to my version of Tyris Flare? Well, in terms of background I've based her on the original Golden Axe games. Visually, I've gone with the Beast Rider look because it gave her an awesome look and I could steal some of the art for her portraits. Whenever it doesn't clash with the previous game's canon, I've also taken bits and pieces from the plot and background of this game e.g., her people worship a dragon. And the comics? Well, I admit I didn't take much from there. In fact, I only took one thing: her insults. If you play my NPC version of Tyris, you'll notice she uses phrases like "guld's blood", "demon's breath" and "fiend's teeth". These come directly from the comics. Presumably because they couldn't say "fuck".

Good idea! I will look foreward to this char, an F/C is much needed IMHO. Will it be compatible with Divine Remix?

I don't see any reason why not.

However, I must say that I agree with Shades o' Grey. From my perspective, this bathing flirt sounds cramped, uncomfortable and messy. Plus, the staff at the inn might be a bit PO'd with all the water splashing on the floor. The "eye candy" for charname is likely pleasing but tromping around like a wet dog might not.

Well it's meant to be a little cramped, hence the reason why she bathes and you don't. Uncomfortable? Once in the sense that you get wet. As I said before she's been beckoning you forward so by the time she grabs you, you're leaning over that bath to a ridiculous to degree. Her pull just topples you over, but it's not some ridiculous fall where either of you would suffer injury.

As the flirt suggests it ends with a RestParty() action so you won't be wandering around in soggy clothes for long. And as for the pissed off staff, almost certainly, however that RestParty() might lose something if it was preceded by you losing gold to pay a fine to the innkeeper

Question: is that the only indoor bathing flirt? I ask because I doubt every inn has all of its fancy bathing rooms booked at all times. (This also makes for an opportune moment for me to stump for another risqué flirt.)

Don't worry we have other bathing flirts, both inside and outside. Don't think we'll let another one go quite yet though...

Okay, I decided to merge this with the flirt thread, because it's feedback relating directly to it.

Tbh tho, I’m having a hard time picturing the very ending of your latest (bathing flirt) preview. Apparently <charname> is still fully clothed when he takes a hard tumble into the tub directly on top of J. For some reason, I can’t seem to shake this picture of J getting a hard knock on the back of her head on the tub and trying mightily to prevent water shooting up her nostrils, hehe.

Heh. Well it's meant to be a playful (if sudden) pull into the bath rather than a violent yank. So yeah, you end up with a damp player lying on top of Jelina (who I think we can assume is careful enough not to get herself brain damaged in your foreplay).

In my mind it's not ridiculously hard to picture (but then again I knew what we meant when we wrote it). If everyone ends up in a state of confusion we'll see about rephrasing it

Yet more flirty goodness for your enjoyment...

I have a question and I couldn't find the answer in the forums yet.

 

Do you think you will be doing some Cross mod banter with Kivan and other populair mods etc?

 

I am looking forward to this mod.

Well Aklon is already there on the list of mods signed up for Crossmod and I know for a fact that BigRob is still interested.
