    Well, in the unmodified BG2, it's not so much you romancing her, it's her romancing you.

    What I mean is that she will initiate the appropriate dialogues with you and when she wants to. It's up to you how you handle each one.

    Two pieces of advice:

    1) Create plenty of savegames at important points in the game. Examples, "Planar Sphere", "Harper Hold", "Firkraag's Domain", etc. The reason for this is that each romance has a pitfall or two in it, chances to blow the romance without meaning to. This way, you have something to fall back on.

    2) When you have a prospective partner in mind, do a search on these forums in order to research for potential bugs and what to do about them. This could save you a world of grief later on. The romance involving a certain half-elven druidic goddess who stands head and shoulders above all others is sadly, quite buggy in its original programming.

    There are also several Romace Mods in SP's BG 2 section, along with a guide if your having trouble with the romances.

    It's very easy to start a romance. Just keep the NPC in the party for a day or two and he/she will inevitably start asking questions. In general, if you be nice, the romance continues. If not, the romance with that particular person is screwed.

    Extremist and Slappy's guide to romances should be your main guide. But my advice is to try it once for yourself first. If something goes wrong or you can't figure out what to do, then check the guide.

    For the most part this is correct but there is one that if you're too nice, you'll be seen as weak and that will ruin the romance as well.

    For all her bugs, she is the best. Good to know I'm not the only one who worships her. :love:

    [​IMG] You can have romances with Jaheira, Aerie and Viconia if you have a male PC and Anomen for the female PCs.

    keep them in your party and talk to them, say what you think you should and if you need help get the guide.

    Well, if you say what you should to Aerie, you are never going to complete the romance... :rolleyes:

    Errr. Yurts pops up here in my mind --- do you mean that by not sleeping by Aerie the first time, you screw the romance --- I did that and I don't think she ever spoke to me again.

    Nope, I was more referring to her hypocritical whining and they ways she is trying to use her background to manipulate the PC. Some of the questions she tends to ask is a pure, sadistical manipulation...

    I mean what can you answer to a following question: "I...I have been looking at the scars...on my back. The stumps that were...that were once my wings. They do not...they do not make me truly homely, do they? Am I...am I ugly to you? "

    Now of course her back looks disgusting and something that my PC would never consider touching, but he is still a gentleman and cannot say that bitter truth... and of course once you compliment on her non-existant good looks, that little hypocrite only takes it as an encouragment.

    Also, when she says that she has no idea how she looks to men... for crying out loud, why doesn't she ask it to Minsc, Jan, Ano or Keldorn? She's practically begging on her knees for a compliment, blech...

    There are more of these things... I was more referring that the PC should technically make her shut up and stop whining, but of course that breaks the "romance"...

    Someone should make an add-on where you can make her shut her mouth, and not ruin the romance, the best romances came from not speaking :rolleyes:
