So... a good few hours (ingame) after this disaster...

... I finally managed to get Aerie back in my party. I thought her romance would be messed up, since she had been removed from the party, and was just about to fix it with Shadowkeeper, when I noticed that the global variables for pre-imprisonment and post-freedom for Aerie seem identical.

Am I missing something here? When Aerie got Petrified in the past, the romance was clearly killed, which was rather annoying. Was Imprisonment always different, mechanically speaking?

The variables I know are:

AERIEROMANCE 6108453
AERIEROMANCEACTIVE 2
AERIESUMMONED 2
AERIESWORD 1
AERIETRANSOFORM 2
AERIEVAMPIRE 6

Is there anyway I can check ingame whether a romance is working normally?

Thanks!

    It's not that petrification and imprisonment are different, it's that SOA and TOB are different. :) In SOA, any removal from the party (even uncontrolled, like petrification and imprisonment) (excepting: Jaheria and Anomen's quests where they leave on purpose for a small bit of time) breaks the romance. In TOB, someone can be removed from the party and the romance still runs. Small difference, but nice difference.

    Sometimes romance IS imprisonment, its called Power Word: Bad Marriage
