Possible Rasaad romance problem

Hi all, I have a possible problem with the Rasaad romance commencing. I picked him up and he has been in the party for a while, but he has been silent. I am playing a chaotic good PC. Does anyone know when his first love talk is supposed to be, or if something in particular is to trigger it? I don't know if this is related, but Hexxat was also silent (until Anomen booted her out!)

    The romances should begin an hour and a half after they join the party. :)

    Thanks Liam. I have definitely been playing for longer than an hour and a half, and still nothing. Is there something I can do to push it along?

    So, as it turns out, there is definitely something wrong with Rasaad's lovetalk timer. My husband looked into it, and it was set impossibly high - in the 750,000 ish area. We looked at the posts about Hexxat's timer, and set Rasad's global to 1, and a short time later, his first lovetalk fired. I am concerned about what the delay will mean to the game, for Anomen is close to finishing his lovetalks, and I don't want to inadvertently get locked into a romance with him. Will there be a 'choose me' banter at some stage soon, prior to Anomen having his test and then giving the PC the flower?

    @Avenel The way timers work is a little convoluted. Instead of the timer global saying "5400 ticks to go!" it says "timer ends at current world ticks + 5400". It'd make perfect sense for it to be in that range as a result :) Setting the timer to 1 would definitely end the timer -- since world tick 1 happened a loooong time ago!

    I suspect something *is* a little screwy with the romance timers, which I'm going to be looking into soon, but this is not a straightforward bug, unfortunately.

    Ok, so after resetting his global to 1, had three lovetalks, but now he has gone silent again, and has been for a long time. His lovetalk is on 7 in clua console. His personal quest hasn't fired either, and I am a fair way into the game (still in chapter 2 though). Does anyone know when his fourth lovetalk is supposed to be, and when his quest fires?

    His fourth talk happens when you rest outdoors. His quest starts when you visit the City Gates district.

    Sorry to hijack your post but I'm having a similar problem - I've had two half hearted lovetalks from Rashaad (triggered using the Rasaad lovetalk timer command) and have completed his personal quest. Now nothing triggers, even when I sleep outside - I've tried advancing time and completing quests, but nothing doing. Have I missed something?

    What do you get when you enter C:GetGlobal("RasaadRomanceActive","GLOBAL")?
  • SuperSheep4030SuperSheep4030 Member Posts: 4
    I get a 1 - sorry, should have said earlier!

    If you're not in Chapter 5 (where no lovetalks will happen), could you zip up your savegame and upload it here?

    I can absolutely try :) I think I've attached it, could you let me know if you have any problems opening it? Thanks for your help!

    I found that quite a few lovetalks weren't firing in SoA, and I had to prompt them along by resetting Rasaad's global timer to 1. In ToB, his final lovetalk didn't fire (which is the important one!), so I had to push that one along too (but the clua console command changes...just let me know if you want me to find it for you).

    @SuperSheep4030 I need the .gam file too.

    I'm not sure his final lovetalk in ToB can fire. One of the dialog's conditions is for the variable OHR_TOB_PLOT to be greater than 8 but as far as I can see, that variable gets set to 2 when the quest starts and never gets incremented along the way.

    @Kismet
    Ah, interesting. I only knew there was supposed to be a final ToB lovetalk from reading other posts, and then reset his timer accordingly. Is there something that can be done to fix that variable so it fires when it should?

    @Avenel
    Well you can set it to 9 via the CLUAConsole or EEKeeper (it's a global variable). It looks like they started tracking Rasaad's quest with OHR_TOB_PLOT but changed somewhere along the way to OHR_FINALE and didn't get rid of all references to the original variable. I'm guessing that OHR_TOB_PLOT >8 was supposed to indicate the quest was complete but I couldn't say for sure.
