Sephiroth can you give me a rundown of what you did with Ariena's personal quest? The fact is she can stay NE if you follow certain paths, she need not change. I need a bit more specific lines and the matter on how you found the mother, what did you do to get her location & what did you when you talked to the mother?

[Deathsangel]

Go to shadowkeeper and check her class status. If you delete a mod during a game somewhere in between strings get mixed up and that is probably what is causing the problems.
What were the problems you had with the Druidic Sorcerer kit?

I'd used shadowkeeper and class status shows as Fighter without any kit specified (greyed). Is there a simple way to remedy the problem?

Per my recollection of dealing with the DS Kit, I think my expectations on how the class functions were much different from its reality. Also, I didn't want to do the complete install of that kit as I didn't like that it made changes to other classes.

Euh, I kind of meant the problems in game with the kit, not the play style.
What you can do is either set her Kit to True Class - this will cause her to loose her kit abilities and make her a regular fighter
Or another thing would be to use CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("MWAriena") and take the new Ariena into your party. Bad thing will be if you started her personal quest already up to a certain point this can not be replayed.

Thanks, erik.
And indeed to not take actions over of other characters it is ICT2

I also checked your stuff Sepiroth and I think if you did go the bad route, you by accident got the loophole. Otherwise it is correct. Ariena's mother can say your bad influence, but that is the actual NE route, not the CE route.

I've Copied the 2.0 patch data into the correct *directory rather

I'm back and I'm glad that it now fully functions.

I've emailed the details and files to you with what I think is the cause of the install error.

After a long hard search I now see a mistake.

The Patch is for Ariena version 2.0.
To make Ariena v2.0 work with Kido 7.0
However, you downloaded Ariena v2.2. Besides updates this version works only with Kido version 7.0. It is not in requirement of a patch.
I did this as I assumed people whom are so precise to download the best version over and over will have the laterst Kido version (which is 7.0).

Thus you have no need of the patch. Simply install Kido 7.0 and than Ariena 2.2 and all should be fine.

Ah I see. At the time of writing, the description in the download center describing Ariena 2.2 is a little confusing:

There is no more requirement for the Jester to be installed. However, if installed the Jester still must go prior to Ariena.
For the rest it are weidu NPC mods so they ought to fit generally almost anywhere in your installation.

Note that Ariena Version 2.2 reacts to Kido's below Version 7.0. Download the 'patch' that is also provided here to make her see Kido version 7.0.

From that, I didn't think you meant from that the zip already contained the patch. From the description it seems that you have to download the patch to get Ariena 2.2 to 'see Kido version 7.0'.

Anyway thanks for clearing it up, sorry if you wasted a lot of time searching through code.

Don't worry. I will fix the sentence so it is more clear.

I have been enjoying this character quite thoroughly so far, however I was somewhat stunned when after about two hours of gameplay from roughly the moment I had got out of Irenicus' dungeon, she lost her unique hide armour and her unique class, becoming both naked, and a normal fighter for no apparent reason.
Suffice it to say this is rather irritating, but not to the extent that it matters hugely, since she is still very powerful regardless.
But it should be mentioned that this little weirdness cropped up.

I have seen this before, this happens when strings get messed up.
That is normally caused, by a new installation
or Different component installation
or mistake in re-installation or de-installation
or removing a mod that was in a list of mods during gameplay

In the fight where the bounty hunter and party of mercenaries appear, I'm not sure if this is a bug but I had to initiate dialogue rather than them approaching the party. Also, some commoners in the vicinity of the battle (outside the Copper Coronet) turned hostile as the mercenary mage was casting spells. I have no clue why. They did not receive any attacks from my party. (Entire party was concentrating on the warriors.)

***

Edit: Hmm, okay, everyone in the Copper Coronet is also hostile. Is this supposed to be part of the mod?


***

Edit: I came up with a tactical workaround of a sort. After initiating dialogue I headed to the northeast to lure the attackers to the Athkatlan city guard, so that the guard can kill the hostile commoners. I first took out the warriors at that spot (near Galen Bayle's house. Then I went back to the spot where the mercenary mage spawns and drew him up to the soldier as well. Unfortunately my party had to kill Kylie Jansen. But otherwise this worked out nicely. (I hadn't planned on using Jan this game.)

Oh also, one of the mercenaries remained neutral throughout the entire encounter.

Darn, that encounter keeps on bugging me. It is known that sometimes a warrior remains neutral if spawned in a place where it get stuck.... but I reckon that was not even the case.
I don't know why the people when hostile... that is not coded for sure. Perhaps as you attacked a neutral warrior? That lies more in the coding of the area than mine. Though of course the leader should inniate dialogue.

Ariena mentioned that she would like the PC to ask about her Aasimar bloodline at the Radiant Heart but no one I speak to there seems to offer any conversation about it. Not sure if it would matter, but I'm pretty sure my response to Ariena was something along the lines of okay, we'll see about it... Anyway, who should I speak with at the Radiant Heart about this?

Assuming you had the conversation when entering the temple district, you should head to the Prelate. He is in the left in a very small room, It is vanilla.

[Lemernis]

Huh. I never looked up there before, I don't think. Thanks!
