Ok, I think I screwed up everything while trying to keep multiple romances and downloading multiple mods at once.

Anyway, I'm out of the underdark, just killed bodhi and about to kill Irenicus... and there doesn't seem to be much romance going on between me and Tashia. Bodhi didn't even kidnap her as a lover (which usually happens with other love interests). That might be because of conflicts with the imoen romance mod, that I also downloaded.

I'd like to know how I could be able to see whether the romance is on and off, and if it's off, how I could put it back on. I understand there is some kind of editor that could do this, but bear with me, my computer skills are pretty weak.

So, could someone please tell me if it's do-able (at least to see whether tashia's still in romance or not) and how so ?

First of all, get Shadowkeeper, it's the editor you mentioned, and very simple to use...

Check the variable (under the option Global Variables) TASHIAROMANCEACTIVE.
1 means you're still flirting, 2 means you're romancing, 3 means bad luck, it's over. If it's 3, change it to 1 to continue.

Note, however, that Bodhi not abducting Tashia, even if you're romancing her is, to my knowledge, normal procedure when you have the Imoen Romance installed; cause it replaces the original Bodhi creature with this one, having a few new lines...

Variable is at 1, so I guess I'm just too impatient.

However, I'm almost at the end of BG2 and about to start ToB, and not much has happened in the way of starting a relationship. Last dialogue was just about telling me she was giving up on her previous love, and asked me to protect her from him.

But this dialogue has been hours away, and nothing more now...
Strange ?

Frog, have you started chapter 7? Romances stop progressing once you go into the elven city.

have you got the Debug Mode=1 in the baldur.ini? if so why don't you try typing this down... CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("TashiaRomance","GLOBAL",1)... this speeds up the romance. It might work... just give a try anyway :)

Both of these are excellent suggestions.

Another thing you may wish to do is set the Lovetalks back to 1. As long as you haven't gone to Suldanesslar, you can re-run through all her dialogues again.

"I read about the evils of drinking, so I gave it up." "You gave up drinking?" "No, I gave up reading..."

And you can use CTRL-I to speed up the dialogue process if you don't want to wait as long again. :D

To be honest, I've found the AdvanceRealTime command to be a bit safer when playing with the romances. Either should work, though. ;)

Didn't even know there was such a command... I usually speed up romances using Shadowkeeper. The only problem is that you get a hell of alot of "Speeding up XXX's romance (edited NNNN)" type of savegames. What's exactly the syntax for AdvanceRealTime?

CLUAConsole:AdvanceRealTime("50000")

This is essentially approaching the trigger through the other side of the equation. Advancing real time tells BG2 that you've been playing for (as an example) one extra hour when you haven't. Setting a romance timer to 1 is telling BG2 that the event should have happened one second into the game. I prefer advancing real time since it doesn't change any game variables (hence no risk of breaking triggers), it just tricks BG2 into thinking you've been sitting at the computer longer then you actually have. ;)

On a side note, you don't need to use SK to speed romances. You can view any global variable with

CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("XXXX","Global")

replacing XXXX with TashiaRomance, for example. You can change globals using

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("XXXX","Global","V")

where XXXX is the variable and V is the value to which you want to set it.

Alright, enough rambling... :P
