Did you install EdwinRomance-ToB? These are different installs, Edwin-SoA and Edwin-ToB, you should have both before importing into ToB.
Aha... so its not a bundlepack install as one website was suggesting!

My fault, then. And I'd been playing with the CLUAConsole for hours wondering why I couldn't get anything going.

*hides under a rock, feeling spectacularly n00bish*
ETA: Still not working. Trying out all combinations of editing the Romance globals and getting nowt. >_< It should start very soon after I arrive in Saradush, correct?
I'm using my FinalSave so Edwin is already in the party (as True Neutral). I don't want to lose all the equipment I managed to get from the first game so I dont want to individually import my characters into a new TOB game. I've tried replaying my FinalSave from Hell in SOA but same results.
ETA x2 (zomg, lol, etc.): Got it working, huzzah! Seems like the opening cutscene into Saradush is a bit off - I've noticed the Pocket Plane transport animation sometimes duplicated itself mid-battle and the sidebars would dissapear, returning moments later. Not sure exactly what caused this, but all seems to be running as it should now. *faints*
