I have a problem with one of the romances?
Romancing problems can occur for many reasons. You might have said something wrong, you're not gender or race compatible, you may even be in the wrong area!
The romance with Jaheira still has alot of bugs in it (even after the patch). That's why I advise you to download the Baldurdash Bugfixes or at the very least the specific file named: Updated Improved Jaheira Romance/Harper Plot.
Romances depend on real time, not in-game time. There's a specific timer for Aerie, Anomen, Jaheira and Viconia. This timer varies from half an hour (thanks to the fix from Baldurdash) up to an hour. Every hour a new LoveTalk should start. This LoveTalk is accompanied by a certain music. However, when you're in a dungeon, LTs will not happen. They will pop up once you leave the dungeon (if the timer has passed).
Sometimes a romance will not progress, because you have not met a certain requirement. This could be sleeping, being outdoors, being in another area or waiting for a certain quest to be round up (like the Dermin quests). Try the above suggestions, if you're stuck.
You can find some CLUAConsole codes that can help you solve the problem(s) below. Note that you can also change the NPCs name in these codes to reflect the NPC you're romancing:
CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("JaheiraRomanceActive","GLOBAL")
Use this code to check on the general status of your romance with Jaheira. If it is set to 0, then that means the romance has not started. If it is 1, then the relationship is developing, but you're not yet "going steady". If it is set at 2, then you are having a good relationship with your partner. Three is bad, it means that the romance has ended somewhere. This can happen for some reasons, such as not having given a good response, having left your partner outside your team for more than 3 days (never drop Jaheira unless she goes of her own will!) or the character might have been imprisoned or turned to stone somewhere along the road. The latter will result in a bug where the romance with that character gets terminated. You can set it back to what it was, using the next command:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("JaheiraRomanceActive","GLOBAL",XX)CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("LoveTalk","LOCALS")
Make sure that the cursor is over the NPC you're trying to romance (his/her portrait will do nicely). This code wil give you a number which can be of extreme value to the folks on the forums, so make sure to tell them the LT-value. You can also use it to look up where you are in the Romancing Guide from Extremist and Slappy (which can be found on sorcerers.net. You can also set this variable, by using the next code (where XX represents a number):
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("LoveTalk","LOCALS",XX)CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("JaheiraMatch","GLOBAL")
This command is useful if you want to check whether or not your character can have a romance with a certain NPC (Aerie/Jaheira/Viconia/Anomen). Zero (0) means that you can have no romance with that character, one means you can.
Viconia will not romance Elves (she will romance half-elves). Anomen will not romance Gnomes, only Aerie will romance (male) Gnomes. Humans, half-elves and Halflings can have romances with any of the four romancing NPCs.
If you wish to alter that variable, you can do so by using the next code (where XX is either 0 (not compatible) or 1 (romance compatible)):
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("ViconiaMatch","GLOBAL",XX)
Still have a bug? Post at the forums. We're there to help and have probably seen 'em all.
