Hi,
I have a question - is there a race restriction by this mod? Because I play with a half-orc (intelligence 14) and kill Mae´Var with Eddie in the party, but then nothing happens. Then I had the idea to change the race of my character to human and voilá it works! Is this only a problem by half-orcs or by some of the other races, too?

This is from the Readme -

You do need to start a new game of BGII for the Romance to start. For the Romance to run, your PC must be female, and have an Intelligence of 14 or above. There is no racial restriction. Edwin will be found where you normally encounter him in the game, in Mae'Var's Guild, and will join your party in the normal fashion. The romance proper will only start once Mae'Var is dead. Note: For the romance to start, Edwin *must* be in your party as you kill Mae'Var.


So you should be all right. Once or twice I had to reload to get the first Love Talk after killing MaeVar. If Eddie didn't say "So, now MaeVar is worm food..." then try again. Usually his dialog kicks in right away like I said, but once or twice it didn't. Your race shouldn't have mattered. Are you sure you didn't just need a reload?

I have try to reload several times and I make the fight, I think three times, but nothing...the lovetalk doesn´t appear until I change the race to human. Then he starts to talk with me directly after the reload of my savegame where Mae´Var was dead.

I have made a test and with female dwarves and female half-orcs the first lovetalk doesn´t start. Is there a possibility to use the CLUAConsole? Did anybody now a solution? If not, I change the race of my character permanently...

EDIT: Okay, I search the forum for this problems and find a solution. You have to create the variable EDWINMATCH and sets the value to 1 (with shadowkeeper). Then the Lovetalk appears and the other variables (romanceactive etc.) were created.

I hope it works normally yet and I can enjoy my Eddie-experience!

I'm honestly not sure why the mod would act this way - it was intended to work for all races, without editing. Has anybody else had this problem I wonder?

I only want to tell you, that the romance seems to work normally. I wasn´t sure if it was enough to create the EDWINMATCH variable, but it works so far!
