Hey guys,
Just posting for some discussion on these two: Aerie and Jaheira.
Currently, my party is Minsc, Valygar, Yoshimo, Jaheira, and Aerie. Now, as most may know, Aerie's presence has been a constant whine and, after about fifth of sixth time, Jaheira keeps chiming in and telling her to shut up. Thought it would sort itself out but now Aerie's not pulling any punches by throwing Jaheira's dead husband into the arguments and it's quickly becoming a scene straight out of some iteration of "Real Housewives of [insert ciry]". Well, it just recently blew up and I had to reload my game because I accidentally made Aerie leave with one of my responses since I'm trying to romance Jaheira (what can I say? It's the ears and accent.
).
Do these two ever get along or is it just toxic to keep them in the same group?

Anyways, after the big spat where you are forced to choose between them, there should be no further arguments between them, and Aerie should stop 'whining', as she realises Charname doesn't care or have the patience to listen.
I guess she gets over it quickly enough though since Haer'Dalis swoops in to save the day with his witty charm. Such a lady killer.
Aerie's 'whining' only happens if you keep encouraging her to talk about about things; it's all part of her romance. If you don't want it, just tell her you're not interested and she stops. And once you've chosen one over the other, it'll stop as well. They'll never come to blows. If you look at Aerie's banters with Jaheira when they're not competing, it's obvious Aerie really does admire and look up to her (at least her hair), so there's no reason why they wouldn't get on eventually.
After that point you can continue with the romance you're on, just be sure to give a stop to the other one.
If you want to avoid the conflict altogether, you can use the console to change the Aerie romance behind the scenes.
STEP 1: Enable the console. Instructions can be found here, though I recommend backing up your game files before editing the .ini file.
STEP 2: When playing the game, press CTRL and the spacebar together to bring up the console.
STEP 3: Copy the following code into the field that comes up:
For the enhanced edition:
C:SetGlobal("AerieRomanceActive","Global",3)
For other versions:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("AerieRomanceActive","Global",3)
Setting the RomanceActive variable to 3 tells the game that the romance is inactive, and Aerie's romance will no longer interfere with Jaheira's.
You shouldn't need to do this, however, as it's possible to keep her in the party anyway with no ill effects. At least in theory; I'm not sure what the issue with your autosave is. She only leaves due to the romance if you choose the wrong dialogue, so it must be something else that is causing her to leave the party. Could you be more specific?
