I just got to the part where aril comes back and tashia takes off with him and then when I rest i see a movie sequence where aril kills her.

To me it looked like the cave in umar hills where the mimic is, but when I went there there wasn't anything there.

What do I do to get her back?

[CamDawg]

She's in a cave in the Forest of Tethir. Go inside, and the rest will just... happen.

If you need additional spoilers, just come back.

[mickeyblueeyessj]

Well, I went to the only cave i found in the forest of tethir (thew one with the door right?) and the only thing that happened was I got ambushed by a bunch of koatoaun (sp)

[CamDawg]

Hmm, that's the right cave... perhaps resting outside and then re-entering will rectify it.

[mickeyblueeyessj]

Yeah, that's what the problem is. I loading the game up before going to work this morning and I loaded my quicksave instead of my autosave and I had to go through the arilistan dialogue again but I forgot to rest to make the cutscene happen. I didn't realise that till I was at work.

Well, I just rescued Tashia and no she won't move all that much. No matter where I ask her to go she'll walk a few steps and then stop. I can't even ctrl-j her to make her move.

What's going on?

[CamDawg]

Most of the stuttering problems (in general, not necessarily Tashia) I've seen have been caused by happy/multi-romance patches. Do you have any installed?

[mickeyblueeyessj]

I have the multiple romance patch that comes with the ease of use mod.

It just seems odd that she never did this before.

Is it because the tashiaromanceactive variable is now 2?

How do I go about fixing it? I'm in chapter six and don't want to start a new game.

[CamDawg]

The ease of use patch multi-romance patch only applies to the Bioware NPCs. The stuttering comes about because the engine gets stuck in a loop. Tashia's script says, hey, he loves me (TashiaRomanceActive=2), better cancel romances with the other chicks (set RomanceActive=3). Then the multi-romance patch says, hey, why did these get changed to 3, better change 'em back, etc, etc.

Best bet is to uninstall the multi-romance patch. There are a few multi-romance patches floating around the net that let you roll with Tashia and the Bioware NPCs. They're a bit old, and I've never used them... this is a long-winded way to say, "Don't blame me if they break your game."

Tashia multi-romance

Hm, well if i change the tashiaromanceactive back to 1, will that affect the romance in harmful way?

[Bri]

If you do that you may wish to set the lovetalk number back to 0 as well...just a thought, and I don't know if it would work.

[mickeyblueeyessj]

Well I had already changed that variable to 1 and it worked, she no longer stutter steps. I was just woindering if it would put a cramp on the romance in the future.

Also, is rescuing her from Arilistan the end of the romance in SoA?

[Bri]

Yes it ends after the declaration of love in SoA...that's why a lot of the dialogues I proposed take place after you declare your love for each other...to give it a more of a typical relationship feel.
