Leilana Romance Question

Recommended Posts

Actually, theskymoves, as I hear you're a serious modder, you may be able to save me a month or two right now...

 

I actually *do* have all my files from my mod - discovered them a day or two ago on an old backup. When I found out that I could view the scripts in notepad, that shaved a couple of months off my recreating my pack instantly. I can't seem to view the dialogue files though. If I move a dialogue (for example, leilana.dlg and leilana.dlb) into one of my current toolset directories, and then try to open it directly with File -> Open, it comes up in a weird and useless "Struct" format that basically just tells me how many lines are in the dialogue and not much else. And putting files in those directories doesn't seem to overwrite what I pull up when I just try to open the file normally - I still get the vanilla version. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way for me to open up and read those old .dlg's?

 

Sadly I never created a B2B version - dumb of me :(

For those who think Qwinn's fix pack breaks the Leliana romance path, (even those who think that it broke once v1.04 came out) I've been running with it since release and have over two-dozen playthroughs using (almost) every version except the Steam one, (retail disc + individual DLC + manual patching, EA/Origin download, retail disc UE, and EA/Origin UE download.)

 

The ONLY thing I've found that causes problems with Leli's romance is getting her to "In_Love" status too quickly (before receiving her PQ.) And that can happen without any mods at all! :laugh:

So I've spent a couple of hours going through every action in leliana's dialogue, the camp and event dialogues, various scripts, etc., and I still can't find any errant action that is setting her "friendly eligible" flag (which also controls whether she can be in love) to true prior to completing her personal quest. Not sure where else to look for that happening. Does anyone know what the steps required are to let her reach friendly/love *prior* to undertaking her personal quest?

 

Incidentally, one way or another I do intend to fix the problem of losing access to her personal quest if your approval gets too high... but if the problem only exists because of what you guys are telling me, that she can become friendly or in love before doing her personal quest, it'd be better to fix it that way.

Okay, so tested and confirmed, the problem exists regardless of any issue with premature friendly/love. You were still cut off from her personal quest just by getting to Adore - the state to initiate the key conversation ("I heard that in Orlais, minstrels are often spies") is simply missing in her Adore branch. I think I can tell why whoever coded it messed it up too - there's a very similar looking line available in that state ("I heard some rumors about Orlesian spies") that probably made the programmer think they'd added it properly, but that's an entirely different conversation. I'm confident it's just a bug and not intended. The bug will be fixed in version 3.0.

 

(As an aside, it seems the bug only kicked in during an active romance. You could get her approval to 100, but without the romance or completing her personal quest, that was still only "Warm" and you'd still get the option to start it.)

 

Oh, and let me say, thank God for the Feast Day gifts.
