Dorn freezing and becoming inactive

I've run into what may be a bug in the Dorn romance where, as a result of a conversation, Dorn simply becomes immobile and will not do anything.

Question: what CLUAConsole variable should one use to track progress of the Dorn romance? Just so that I can confirm a few speculations.

A more detailed description of what happened is as follows:

Protagonist is Neutral Good (and acts it), so this is the clash-of-personalities, can-Dorn-be-redeemed? storyline. The romance appeared to be going swimmingly, but suddenly Dorn has decided that he (or rather, Ur-Gothoz) is not getting enough blood. When protagonist suggests to him that instead of being dissatisfied with protagonist, he's dissatisfied with his oath to Ur-Gothoz, he throws a great big hissy fit -- demanding to have blood -- and just freezes, not saying or doing anything.

This has occurred about 11 days in (game time). Using "reform party" to try and kick him out wakes him up and he can be accepted back without even actually kicking him, but I don't know what that does to the progress of the romance (hence CLUAConsole question above).

This has occurred in an area with no one around. At a guess, it's meant to happen where there are lots of people, and Dorn is meant to go on a rampage killing everyone in sight, and it's the lack of NPC targets that means Dorn just freezes up.


Or am I just being paranoid and Dorn is doing what he's supposed to be doing? :-)

    Attack him until he initiates dialog. :D It's a bug, yeah.

    Seriously? :-D

    I did try that, but quite half-heartedly because I was convinced something was wrong.

    Seriously! Attack him until he's at 50% HP. :)

    Thanks! Seems to be working ... :-)

    ... though I'm not sure he likes my character any more :-P

    Wow thanks for the Advise.i thought i was really stuck there.

    Thought its funny.since i already have the romance with Dorn so far as he and i talked shortly about a future together and that he plans to "impress me".
    And suddenly a day or two later i get this dialog line and the attack where he said in the end that he will "take my head" should i not respect him. I like this guy ,it never gets boring with him.
    Can't wait to see what other stuff will happen.

    I fear I got one of the later dialogues wrong and romance with Dorn is off the cards.

    I suspect it was the one where he asks how you feel in battle.


    On the other hand, Hexxat now seems to be interested in my character, so ...
