I've come too far to be stopped now. Not by bugs, not by anyone. Some rather persistent bugs are slowing my progress, but I will crush them underfoot. Darian *is* ready for alpha testing as soon as I nail a couple more gremlin hides on my wall-at present, he is in-game and can join the party, but just doesn't talk at all. I'm assuming most alpha testers will intend to romance him or watch him romance Mazzy, but he's not even bantering at the moment.

[Insignificant Puppet]

I wish you good luck with your test run and release of Darian. I am looking forward to this quite a bit.

[Zyraen]

Buzz me sometime on msn if you need someone to help you with this banter issue or PM me if you don't have my MSN email.

Hi, I have a quick question to ask. Darian won't romance a halfling PC?

[Tempest]

Ultimately, I decided against it-Darian isn't as xenophobic towards halflings as he is towards humans and other elves, and I think a Darian who's relatively accepting of Charname already doesn't make for as interesting a romance. Mazzy's something of a special case.

[Nix]

Oh, I was wondering what Mazzy had that pc didn't. It makes sense, I guess.

So... will he romance a dwarf pc then? Lot's of potential for conflict there. What, don't tell me Darian can't handle a woman with a beard?

[Tempest]

Not quite that way, but it would never occur to Darian that a female dwarf or gnome PC might be a woman. Darian is xenophobic and racist, remember-not his best attributes, but the idea of being attracted to a dwarf, a gnome, or a half-orc would never even make a blip on his radar.

[Nix]

Sigh... humans, elves, and half-elves get all the love again. No one wants to love my poor dwarf

Does Darian check for romances with other NPC mods like Solaufein, Tsujatha, and Kelsey, or would it be possible to run these romances concurrently?

Does Darian check for romances with other NPC mods like Solaufein, Tsujatha, and Kelsey, or would it be possible to run these romances concurrently?

Usually - more and more often as a rule rather than an exception - all such checks are placed into Crossmod Banter Pack: Romance Conflicts component, at Gibberlings3. I usually request of other mod authors that they left Xan conflicts to Crossmod Banter Pack, as well - so that romance conflicts are 1) always up-to-date when new romances are added; 2) optional; 3) modders(read: me) don't have to deal with additional bug reports.


EDIT: if your dwarf is male, Nalia de'Arnise romance may work. If she's female, Kivan(G3) will gladly welcome her into his arms, if she's compassionate, and Angelo(G3), if she's pretty. Also, there's Solaufein, and Xan's friendship path which may end in romance in ToB, _if_ you so choose. And if you're playing a female dwarf(pretty, kind and wise) for Tutu/BGT, there's Gavin.

For now, I'm using the cross-romance kill scripting the Crossmod Banter Pack made publicly available, but I'm planning on submitting Darian to the crossmod banter pack before his official release. I've been using the code blocks directly as given by the Banter Pack, though.

[Nix]

Oh, so not install the Crossmod for concurrent romances and install it for no concurrent romances? Sounds good. I'm looking forward to this mod. I'm sick of playing female characters actually, but I'll be sure to whip one up again when Darian comes around.

Hmm, most of these I've already played and I'm not all that interested in Nalia. Angelo, you say? Sounds intriguing. Thanks, maybe I'll give it a whirl.

[Tempest]

I might actually keep the scripts installed except with those npc's whose authors state that they don't want me using the public code used to kill the romance scripts. For Darian to pursue a romance concurrently with someone else would be extremely out of character.

[Nix]

It'd be out of character for pretty much all NPCs to romance anyone concurrently I think. It's more for player convenience kind of thing - so you don't have to start a new game for each different romance. But I can understand if you don't want Darian to romance concurrently.

[Nuuskamuikkunen]

Definitely sexy. Where's that belt of opposite gender

[Tempest]

Do I even want to know why you want one?...

And work is still continuing, slowly. Globals are proving problematic.

[Eric P.]

Just now saw this up, and promptly downloaded for my next multi-mod install run. Looks very promising!

Thanks,
Eric

May I ask what is his alignment?

Linky linky.

And thank you again.
