Rasaad problem

in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I'm almost entirely through SoD and I've had Rasaad in my party from the first moment you can recruit him, but his romance never triggered. Is there something specific I have to do to get it to trigger or is this just a bug?

    Did you romance him in BGEE?
    Did he mentioned the fact that you were close?
    Also, in which point of the game are you?

    @Aedan Yes, no, and Avernus. He hasn't talked to me at all since I recruited him.

    @Cerevant @Illydth
    I would suggest Svar to use C:GetGlobal("romanceactive","global") to check if something is wrong with Rasaad romance. Which is Rasaad romance variable?

    @Aedan To be perfectly honest, I don't know how to do that. I'm playing on a Mac, so using CLUA is...problematic.

    Can't you activate the console on a Mac like on other platforms ? I don't know for sure but I feel like I would have heard about it if that was the case.

    Edit : It should work just like windows. Open the .lua in the game folder and add

    SetPrivateProfileString('Program Options','Debug Mode','1')

    at the end.

    @Svar Grim has the right of it, modify the "baldur.lua" file in your Documents directory to include the string above and restart the game, that should allow you to ctrl-space to bring up the Clua console.

    From there, you're looking for:

    C:GetGlobal("bd_rasaad_romanceactive","GLOBAL")

    Let us know what the return value on that is.

    @Illydth Unless I did something wrong, it didn't work. It says that ("bd_rasaad_romanceactive","global") does not exist.

    Wait, you can recruit Rasaad? He told me he couldn't join me... do you just get the first 4 NPCs you choose to recruit or what?

    @booinyoureyes
    You can't recruit him in the city but you find him in the wilderness later on.


    He's in the map left of the first wilderness map

    Thank you! Oh man... this changes my entire party's make up.
  • SvarSvar Member Posts: 157
    Okay, I've tried C:SetGlobal("RasaadRomance","GLOBAL",1) and when I look at GetGlobal, it says it's set to 1, but still nothing is happening. I also tried AdvanceRealTime(999999), and again nothing.

    Maybe he's just not that into you @Svar

    I've had the same issue and when using the CLUA console I got a variable of 4. What does a 4 mean?
  • SvarSvar Member Posts: 157
    @Rhelna I don't know. I thought it only went up to 3.
  • RhelnaRhelna Member Posts: 17
    @Svar , yeah that's what I thought too. Weird.

    Having the same sort of problem with Rasaad :( I guess he just doesn't love us :( Seriously though.. it's pretty annoying. None of the global console commands seem to work for him either :/
  • SvarSvar Member Posts: 157
    @Rhelna @Scarycarebear Okay, so apparently the trick is you have to pick up Rasaad in the Coastway Forest and not at the second camp.
  • RhelnaRhelna Member Posts: 17
    @Svar Oh, okay thanks! And that fixes it? Is there any sort of difference in dialogue?

    Yep! No big differences that I can see, oddly enough. The first romance talk should start not long after returning to the camp, though.
  • ScarycarebearScarycarebear Member Posts: 3
    Hmm, but that's where I picked him up from, the Coastway Forest that is and I've still not had the first romance talk :/
  • RhelnaRhelna Member Posts: 17
    @Svar Yeah I'm still not getting anything either. Rasaad sure loves to play hard to get.
  • RhelnaRhelna Member Posts: 17
    Wait! Got it working. Not sure exactly what I did though. I just reloaded, tried it again and BAM. It worked.
  • doggydoggy Member Posts: 313
    @Rhelna lucky you. Still no love from rassad. Woe is charname. Neither of the codes works for me
  • RhelnaRhelna Member Posts: 17
    @doggy I'm not sure if it'll help... But this is basically what I did. I found Rasaad at the Coast Way Forest directly East of the first camp at the start of chapter 8. Before talking to Rasaad I set: C:SetGlobal("RasaadRomance","GLOBAL",1) and then went through the dialogue as usual. It wasn't until I had returned back to the camp and started heading towards the bridge when the first talk triggered.

    Yes it only goes up to 3. 3 means not active. I didn't cover Rasaad's romance during testing though so I don't know if I can be much more help at this point. You should have at least seen some dialog regardless. You should consider opening a redmine ticket and reporting this.

    I am closing in on the castle. And still no love. I can't get the global value or anything else with the console. But @Rhelna and @elminster I will try that on the next run (sounding a bit psycho but I will make him love charname)
