Three talks written and coded...

Feel free to post your questions in this thread and I'll update it accordingly.

Q: Why have you made Viconia bisexual?

A: This is a long and complicated issue. If you want to read more about our reasons for it then feel free to read the original Viconia Relationship thread.

Q: But I don't think she is bisexual!

A: Then don't install the mod .

Q: How long will the pre-decision point part of the relationship be?

A: Probably around 20-25 talks but there won't be as long a gap between them as you would get in your standard romance.

CamDawg has kindly given us a forum for the Viconia Relationship. The original thread is still available for viewing if you want to.

Currently two relationship talks have been written and coded. A third is currently being finalised.

This mod will do a few things. First of all, with this mod installed then Viconia becomes bisexual - if you don't like that then don't install it. This is important because this mod allows a female PC to have a friendship with Viconia that, if you interest Viconia, could lead to a romance.

Where the male romance has two stages; 'Early flirty romance' and 'Serious romance', this relationship has 'Getting to know you/Form a friendship' and then a point of decision. The relationship can go in various different directions at this point. Viconia will take notice of how much you have been nice to her and taken her interest and also how much (if any) you have flirted with her through dialogue and forcetalk options. She may approach you romantically at the decision point. She may want to remain friends. She may decides she's had enough of you. If it goes into a romance then you will after that get the standard

'Early flirty romance' and 'Serious romance' stages.

Feel free to check the Progress thread and FAQ thread for more information.

At the moment I'm compiling a major backstory and character profiles document for my two lovely writers. Once we've ironed it out (not literally) and finally settled on something that works (taking into account changes based on new information), then I should be able to give a decent answer to your questions (and will probably start a FAQ'n'IAQ - pronounced fakunak).

Thanks for the information/opinion Caedwyr! I'll discuss it with my lovely writers. Although I do agree that the characters do need some tweaking along those lines... and Dancer agrees that she was going at bit OTT with the slang...

Well, here we are with a good oldfashioned Q&A session. Our special guest is none other than the elder tiefling lass: Inara! She'll be here in a few minutes, so I'll explain the rules. Her lovely sister Keli cannot get into this room so feel free to ask whatever you like without worrying about Keli's opinion.

Inara will edit your posts with her response. Please state your name in bold beforehand for each question and Inara will reply to each one.

e.g.

Grim: Do you like cats?

Inara: [insert reply]

Grim: Do you prefer to be on top?

Inara: [insert reply]

Inara's here, so the interrogation can begin...

Well, here we are with a good oldfashioned Q&A session. Our special guest is none other than the young tiefling lass: Keli! She'll be here in a few minutes, so I'll explain the rules. Her lovely sister Inara cannot get into this room so feel free to ask whatever you like without worrying about Inara's opinion.

Keli will edit your posts with her response(s). Please state your name in bold beforehand for each question and Keli will reply to each one.

e.g.

Grim: What is your favourite food?

Keli: [insert reply]

Grim: What underwear are you wearing?

Keli: [insert reply]

Keli's here, so the interrogation can begin...

YOUNGER SISTER:

Name: Keli

Race: Tiefling

Alignment: Neutral Good

Class: Cleric - Silverstar of Selune

STR: 14

DEX: 17

CON: 15

INT: 10

WIS: 18

CHR: 14

Keli is approximately 17 years old and was born and raised in the Selunite temple-city of Minsor Vale. She knows little of her background as a Tiefling. Keli began her studies as a cleric of Selune at a very young age, eventually becoming a Silverstar. She can be quite shy and reserved around others due to her experiences with others as a child. True to the nature of Selunites, she has little tolerance for slavery or bigotry. Around Inara, Keli can be willful and argumentative, but the love she has for her sister is quite obvious.

ELDER SISTER:

Name: Inara

Race: Tiefling

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Class: Thief - Swashbuckler

STR: 16

DEX: 19

CON: 15

INT: 13

WIS: 10

CHR: 16

Inara is in her mid- to late-20s and was born in the planar city Sigil, where she spent her early childhood before traveling to Minsor Vale with her pregnant mother. She is wild, independent and spirited, with a dark humor and biting wit. She has rare pensive moments, during which she is somewhat unapproachable. Inara left home early to travel Faerun, often spending time in lively dock cities or at sea, plying the rogue's trade and breaking hearts and faces. She visited Minsor Vale sporadically, though she calls no place 'home.' Inara enjoys conversation, but is evasive about certain subjects on her past. She is generally irreverent, though not because she is thoughtless. Inara chooses carefully what incites her passion. Guarding her sister Keli is one of those.

Hail Cam, the READ/WRITE King!

I swear, is there nothing you can't do with these commands...

- A... no I can't tell you this one.  He's just too freakin' cool to spoil anything

Ok, Cam, I'll throw him on the rack and attack him with thumbscrews. You get him with the blowtorch and nutcrackers!

Are you gonna have an upgrade thingymajig run if you have Elai or Kivan installed already and want the new material?

Kivan and Elai are both nearing completion (just coding left to do for Kivan

This just made my day.

Oh that's a classic...

Do you have *anything* to do with Elai? I don't remember you having anything to do with him.

The other guy work on the project is Andyr and he's the guy who wrote Elai...

Sounds pretty damn cool. Release date... 2008?

*nudge nudge, wink wink, snap snap, grin grin, SAY NO MORE!*

At least you didn't take me saying I wanted to 'wait to experience your fantastic romance' as some cheesey chat-up line!

You know I'd love to help out but I'm gonna be quite busy with Harvey.  Maybe I'll be able to lend a hand when you get to full beta-testing (i.e. I'll wait until I get to experience Bri's fantastic romance!  Did that come out right?)

PS: Shouldn't the Bugs and Balancing board be in the Workroom section?
