Problem with romance mod

[ell46]

My problem is, I've just clicked on Alistair while out and about and a new dialogue option has come up "Special", when I click on it all I get is "Never Mind" as a reply.

 

What exactly is supposed to happen, is it dialogue only or a cutscene that isn't triggering? Which mod should I be looking at for the problem eg Is CRS or ZDF?

Usually in a case like that either there are no options yet available due to circumstance and/or approval rating or you have exhausted the options. ZDF wouldn't give a "Special" option and the only CRS I am familiar with is the one that makes me forget things :whistling:

I haven't seen it before so I can't have used up the options and it seems strange that the option should be available but not finished, why include it at all, or at least mention something in the read me. I have checked all the read me docs for the umpteenth time this morning and unless I'm having another 'craft' moment I've deleted all files necessary to make things work together.

 

My train of thought was if I know which mod this option/scene belongs to I can double double check which files need deleting or not. It must be something I've done or not done, because I haven't read anywhere that anyone has this problem.

 

What is this option you mention about 'to forget things', it it's possible to tell without spoiling it too much? Perhaps I haven't reached that level yet, or have I forgotten :laugh:

The mod you mentioned: CRS is unfamiliar to me with that acronym. The CRS I refer to is not a mod and is not part of the game it is simply that I Can't Remember Sh... err... Stuff - yeah, that's it... stuff :biggrin:

 

But the empty dialog string will happen even without mods, I've seen it with Sten and Alistair when approval isn't high enough or places haven't been visited yet. One of your mods may have just reworked the dialogue for that string.

Sorry, CRS was Combined Romance Scenes, it's now called Improved Romance Scenes and Fixes, I think that is the mod it belongs to, but can't be sure with running ZDF as well as a few others, but I don't think they would cause this.

 

I only have 'senior moments' and 'craft' moments, the craft one you can have a clean version or the not so clean :laugh:

Cmess has put special scenes for all of the origins in the IRS Alistair. Since it's still a WIP that dialogue line will appear everywhere, but will only trigger the scene for the specific origin. It has been fixed in the testing group (I am a part of that group), but she is experiencing internet problems, so she has not been able to update the file for the public. The scenes you are wondering about, for example, are special scenes like a mage with Alistair at the Calenhad docks will trigger a special scene, but for now the dialogue option will also appear for nobles, dwarves, Dalish, and ce's. Don't worry, though, it's not a huge issue, and is resolved in testing, but will be fixed in the next version when cmess releases.

Do you know where would this trigger for HN characters, is it when you have done the rescue Anora quest?

I think you can even get it before, but it's in the Eamon estate in Denerim. As long as you can get a dialogue tree with him it should have the option in there.

I couldn't wait, so I loaded an old game I don't get the dialogue option "special" in either Redcliffe Castle or the Denerim Estate, only the option to speak to a maid about not being disturbed which triggers a new sad scene, with no dialogue or sound and I must confess I found it very frustrating not knowing what they were talking about. Something really funny was when the scene ended I turned to leave to confronted by Morrigan and Sten facing the wall like two naughty children :laugh:

 

Is the "special" dialogue only for a Mage and Elf in lieu of a cutscene? I looked again at the Read Me and it only mentions the "special" option for those 2 classes, perhaps HN don't get a "special" dialogue and it's showing because of a bug.

 

Also can I ask, as you are on the testing team, are the eye problems with two of the in camp scenes going to fixed, the ones where she closes only 1 eye and looks really creepy?
