Mod Overview:
Nalia At Last is a very long awaited romance for Throne of Bhaal. It is a standalone Nalia romance for ToB with a romance branch to continue a romance from De'Arnise Romance or Arnel's Nalia Romance
How the mod plays out will depend on if you have the De'Arnise Romance installed, the Nalia Romance installed, or neither.
If for some maniacal reason you have both installed, the Nalia Romance will be assumed since that one has you married at the end.
For non-EET games, you'll have an additional option to summon a romanced De'Arnise Nalia or the other Nalia Romance. Otherwise you'll have to summon standard Nalia and romance her.
Mod Details:
-A small friendship track.
-2 romance tracks, one standalone, one dependent on having either the De'Arnise or the Nalia romance installed.
-5 new Epilogues.
-Flirts.
-A few new interjects to match the standard romance interjections of the other Bioware NPCs.
Romance Qualifications:
Standalone:
- Male
- Not in any other romance, or De'Arnise/Arnel's Nalia Romance Unfinished/Ongoing (Variable = 1)
- De'Arnise or Arnel's Nalia Romance Finished/Active (Variable = 2)
Some probable questions and answers to them:
Q: Where can I get support?
A: This is the main support thread. You can also message me on my discord channel, here. I have a contact form on my website as well.
Q: The style seems different from Arnel/JCompton
A: Early on I decided to have Arnel/JCompton's Romances merge into one romance branch. They are the *same* Nalia, so it was probable she would go under similiar development and crisis. I wrote for what I felt that Nalia would be, rather than looking too much back on the other two. As an aside, I found similiarities between Nalia and Emily, so it was a challenge to make sure Nalia was Nalia. Rewrites and polishing will aim to make sure there is no overlap in distinction. Lastly, Nalia in ToB is different than SoA, and having a different author is refreshing in a way as it can help show that shift.
Q: Can I translate this mod?
A: This mod is traified for translating. On release, it will largely be stable and no further content is planned to be added. There is some Crossmod with SkitiaNPCs for its future update, but those pieces are already in place in the traification. Just send me the translated text and I can add it to the mod.
Q: What are the differences between a continuation from Arnel's and a continuation from De'Arnise?
A: There are mostly text differences, I.E., acknowledgements of marriage from Arnel. There is a branch of two of dialogue that are unique, but they otherwise follow the same branch. I would pick your favorite.
Q: Nalia is OOC! Can you fix it?
A: Let me know where, and I'll polish it out. This is still in beta, and I've not gotten a chance to go over the writing a third or fourth time yet. I try to stay in spirit of the character.
Q: What is the content/suitably rating.
A: This is very T. One flirt can get a bit spicy, but it's still T and probably tamer than the De'Arnise Romance or Skitia's NPCs.
Q: When will this mod leave Beta:
A: When the storm passes and I can work on it again. It just needs a few more days of love. I want to release it now because I am also getting married in just a couple of weeks, and there's a chance that the little window of time I have may be no time at all. (Also if something happens to me, it would be a tragedy if it never got released after all this time!)

Stay safe and wishing you a happy and fulfilling marriage and honeymoon.
the original mod did help nalia imo so i can't wait to jump in and use this.
Special thanks also for giving a chance to both versions of the romance, each of which is good in its own way!

But the bad news is that I can install it on my EET installation...which will make troubleshooting difficult.
You might want to try it with no other mods installed (Besides EET and what you needed installed before it.)
I'm curious as to which of the two SoA romance mods you would recommend to use with this?
Pick your favorite one, or try each one out once. Romancing her in ToB or with one of the two SoA romances allows you to replay it three different times with different experiences.
Are you ok? Did you managed to find a safe place from the hurricane?
I have friends though whose cars are all underwater or a sister whose apartment door was blown open by the sheer power of the winds, so not everyone was as lucky.
I'm glad to hear that you are well. Or at least as well as someone can be under such dreadful circumstances...
Hoping that everyone recovers from this disaster as fast as possible and everything returns quickly to normal.
This error is fixed. Thanks to Camdawg for finding the specific problematic line.
I've uploaded a v1 that contains the fix. Download that one and you should be good to play.
Why is your post title "MoD" instead of "Mod?"
Thanks for making this mod and I appreciate CamDawg's effort to find the problem. It installed without issue. I'll pick up with the auto save after beating BG2 and check it out. I'll let you know if I run into any issues.
Also, is it continuing a romance or starting the ToB standalone version?
I've not been able to reproduce endless repetition on my own so far, but I've only started from ToB and set variables as if I started from SoA rather from SoA to ToB naturally. You can try the latest release to see if it resolves your issue as well.

I tried with the Master and the newest version of the beta after uninstalling all other mods just to make sure and couldn't replicate the above, so those should work fine for installing.
For your message before, it's possible the timer is so short that it's not going to 3, which the newest version should fix. If you can double check, you pulled the files from the right download, it should help with both issues. Sorry for all the trouble you're going through!
