I went to the Underdark with Edwin as Edwina, and just before I left, I rested, and had the "Have you been crying?" talk. And the subsequent one upon waking up. Then I moved to Small Teeth Pass, and Degarden showed up for the first time. No lovetalks about that, or after it. And then, a little later, Degarden showed up for the second time - changing Edwin back to his natural form, as in the unmodded game. But again, there were no dialogues about it, or anything, which seemed a bit strange. Judging by posts on the board, Degarden seems to have shown up too early in the romance. Anything I can do to fix this?

Edit:
Nevermind, it was an incompatibility thing with the Imoen Romance. I fixed it.

Are you specifically keen on having it for Imoen, rather than the people who actually romance the PC?

If by people who actually romance the PC, you mean the Bioware romances, well, I wasn't really thinking of those.
The reason I was applying the idea to Imoen was firstly because the idea came to me while playing that mod, and secondly, because I think she's a much more 'human' character than the others (not in the less elvish sense). Just think about it. Aerie, for example, couldn't be a bigger stereotype if she tried. You can predict her reaction to every line in the entire game. Any affair in a relationship with her, well, it may as well not involve her at all - her only reaction would be a variation of "How could you!? I'm so hurt. Boo hoo. Throwaway reference to the loss of my wings. Insult. Now I will leave the party.". Jaheira's only a little better, and annoying in her own right. Viconia, being the one I had envisioned as the 'other woman', doesn't count. Imoen, however, seems to have much more of a real personality.
As for mod-romances... Well, it would be natural that I'd make the suggestion for an upcoming mod (which may include a romance) that I am particularly keen on playing, n'est pas? And this would be that mod. Quitch's writing skills (as shown in the 'teaser' threads) appear to be superb, and Imoen is a very likeable character*. Rather than a new, "proving herself vastly superior to all others in the party in every dialogue" character, such as certain mod-NPCs out there, she's realistic, with depths, and undergoes some interesting development throughout the series. So that's why I suggested this in the context of a relationship with Imoen. Though, even if Quitch doesn't include a romance in this, I'll nonetheless be downloading it the second it's up :)


*The only problem with Imoen being that she's actually a bit of a crap (power-wise)character when one already has Edwin-The-Wonder-Mage in their party. Can't have everything, though :P

Forgetting the whole Mirabbo insta-kill thing... (something I personally found to be an absurd part of that particular mod)... does anyone actually have any thoughts on my idea? I mean, hell, even if you hate it, it took me a while to write all that out. So let me know, please.

I didn't think this mod was going to necessarily be a romance mod.

Oh, before we go any further, this rests on the possibility of the PC and Imoen being able to have a romantic relationship. If I remember rightly, this isn't 'officially' decided yet. But, the idea is here, for posterity.

I may have been a tad unclear. My intended meaning was that in the event a romantic relationship is incorporated into this mod, I offer this suggestion up for use, if so desired, along with any help needed. Or, failing this mod, any other one, I suppose - But I do have a particular soft spot for Imoen, so...

In Topic: Imoen's sexuality

13 April 2005 - 10:05 AM

Can't read through 27 pages of replies, so I'll just make a quick summary of my points, which have most likely already been done to death (sorry).

1) Sarevok's line hinting at Imoen's unrequited love for the PC occurs whatever the gender of the PC. This would indiciate bisexuality.
2) Imoen's reaction to the dryads. It doesn't express any outright desire, but "I used to dream of dryads and their beautiful dreams" could be interpreted as having sexual connotations. This would indicate bi/lesbian.
3) Various slight flirts with male NPCs... Keldorn... Nothing that removes all doubt springs to mind, but it could be construed as indication of some attraction to the males. Meaning Straight/Bi.
4) As already mentioned by others, it being unthinkable for Bioware to actually put in any alternate sexuality NPCs, evidence for Imoen not being straight is likely to be very hard to find.
5) Imoen seems to be quite wise, possibly due to all the trauma she's been through, and strikes me as the sort who, when finding love (I assume, if this mod were to have a romance in it, it would involve love, rather than a cheap one night stand (Though, in the spirit of freedom to which Quitch seems very dedicated, you never know...)), would not let gender stand in her way.
6) Sexuality is fluid, so just putting her in one of three categories limits things, a little. For example... Imoen could be mostly straight - but for the heroic, caring, and Charisma = 18 PC, well, she may think again.
7) She is quite young, and it doesn't seem she's had much experience of romance - so perhaps Imoen herself still doesn't know? In which case, it would be a case of the mod-maker's whim.

I'd say put her as bi. It seems to fit her, for some reason. A 'vibe' she gives off. And, of course, it's less likely to inconvenience others wanting to play a character of a certain gender for another reason.
