#257340 Thanks for the flirts, Laufey!

Posted by Minarvia on 14 July 2006 - 12:00 AM in Edwin Romance

Aww... I found ze cutest in-game dialogue! Edwin speaks to a boy in Athkatla. The dialogue has to be one of the sweetest in the game, and definetly one of my new favourite moments. <3

Lets just say it ends with the boy hugging his new 'hero'. As far as I can tell, it is a completely unmodded dialogue.


I may need you to PM me about that one! I've never seen it and I'm quite curious... :)



#255754 Thanks for the flirts, Laufey!

Posted by Minarvia on 28 June 2006 - 07:27 PM in Edwin Romance

Thanks again for all your work and the flirts.  They made my newest game with Eddie more complete.  I enjoyed, in particular, the Lust Chamber flirts and the lice flirts.  But I also like to be able to kiss and hug him and adore when he looks so deeply into my eyes in regards to my query of what cannot be bought in Thay.   :Bow:   I wonder if there are different ones for TOB?  Hmmm...have to get there soon and see!  :D



#256003 Thanks for the flirts, Laufey!

Posted by Minarvia on 01 July 2006 - 06:19 PM in Edwin Romance

*bows* Awww, you're making me blush.  :wub: But yes, one of the main things I tried to do with Edwin was to keep the romance somewhat lighthearted despite it having serious moments too, and to make sure that you could argue with him without him ending the romance in a hissyfit.

Yeah, this is one of my fave things about Eddie.  
I can't help but wish I could code and thus have my own flirts to yours, such as - run your fingers thru Eddie's hair and whisper into his ear "Eddie, you can kill Xan now."   :devil:
Okay, okay, no offense to Xan.  He just sets my teeth on edge even when he's just a comrade.  

I'm eagerly awaiting the Edwina flirts, too!  I'm just glad to have my other flirts now, tho, instead of later.  Thanks again for releasing them.   :D



#268117 When to go to spellhold/underdark?

Posted by Minarvia on 31 October 2006 - 12:06 AM in Edwin Romance

Arghhh!  I want to go to Spellhold and Eddie refuses to leave Athkatla.  This is the same problem a previous poster had.  I have the new version and this is the first time I wanted to leave before Eddie became himself again.  We only had the kiss, we're nowhere near the letter phase yet.  I'm playing with Beyond the Law and this is the perfect time for Spellhold...but, alas. I'll guess I'll have to kill some time or leave my game on pause a lot.
Just thought someone would want to know.



#249670 Preview Drow Flirt

Posted by Minarvia on 03 May 2006 - 01:31 PM in Edwin Romance

Wow that's spookily great. :D You could be able to draw Eddie as a drow if he had all his accessories, of course.
[/quote]

Care to elaborate on what exactly you mean by his "accessories?" :P Just kidding. Can't wait for new drawings!



#249415 Preview Drow Flirt

Posted by Minarvia on 01 May 2006 - 04:04 PM in Edwin Romance

Ooohhh!!! Love it, love it, LOOOOOVE IT! :D Hmmm...maybe Ilmatar could draw Eddie nude mud wrestling. :devil:



#249467 Preview Drow Flirt

Posted by Minarvia on 02 May 2006 - 07:25 AM in Edwin Romance

:woot: Ooooh wow! Can't wait to see the entire dialogue!

I'd GLADLY draw Edwin mud wrestling ( *rofl* ) but there's the problem with the drow looks. The drow are elves, and elves don't have body hair. That means no beard. So it would look like any random drow mud wrestling, and no one wants to see that. We want to see Edwin mud wrestling, right?

I promise to make up for this when the flirt pack comes out! I know I'll be drawing several scenes of the flirts. B)


Cool! Thanks in advance, Ilmatar! You're right of course about looking like any other drow. I didn't think of that right off. You know, I just had the image in my head of the look on Eddie's face if the pc volunteers him for the mud wrestling, tho! :D



#277873 Montaron in the Harper's Hold

Posted by Minarvia on 08 January 2007 - 10:40 PM in Baldur's Gate Series

How do you manage to get into Harper's Hold after giving the bird ? The door is locked, right ?

(Maybe when Jaheira invites you there ?)


I know it is a bug of sorts, but with Ease of Use the "No locks or Traps," option lets you either unlock the door or force it open with a high strength. That's how I always get in. Cheesy, but it works.

Edit - I should have said that this is how I get in the 2nd time to get the XP for the Montaron fate part.



#246375 Possible oops?

Posted by Minarvia on 07 April 2006 - 08:35 AM in Edwin Romance

Hmmm...I ALWAYS go to Brynlaw and have Degarden appear for the first time as soon as I set foot off the ship.  I never have a problem.  I do the Underdark, sometimes Sahauguin City, and as soon as I leave the Underdark I get the "lock of hair" talk and Degarden appears for the 2nd time and everything is cool.  I've never had a problem.   :blink:   Am I just lucky?  I've done this several times at least.  Unless you all mean that you have done all the SOA stuff before the Underdark.  I usually do all the Athkatla stuff and Umar Hills, and save the rest for when I return from the Underdark.  The Romance runs quite smoothly for me, plus I get the "pink squirrel" dialog between Immy and Eddie.



#259651 no more paenelian?

Posted by Minarvia on 31 July 2006 - 06:04 PM in Tashia

Well, if she's already in the party, fixing the problem is as easy as opening up the game in Shadowkeeper, and adding the Scrimshaw figurine to her inventory. If she's not in-party, just install the updated version over the old one and it should work.

As for the lich-change talk, we dropped it after internal discussion. It just didin't make much sense in the whole of Tashia.

And yeah, we added a lot of banter :).


I know this must be a silly question, but how do you add it to her inventory? All I have ever done in SK is assign the item I want to Charname's head, then move it down to inventory when I load the game. If I do that with this figurine, tho, it stays on her head and cannot be removed. :huh:



#259771 no more paenelian?

Posted by Minarvia on 01 August 2006 - 09:32 AM in Tashia


Edit - I can do it, thanks! But there is still a problem, for me, anyway. If I add it to her inventory, the item cannot be moved. If I add it to a quickslot for her it can be described, but not used. I mean you cannot see it when you view it from the normal game screen. The slot appears empty. :blink: Inside her character screen it cannot be moved from there, either. Weird. I'd best just let it go for now.


Not showing up in the quickslot when on the main screen could be a result of it not having any charges... I seem to remember this happening with some vanilla items. Try resting after getting the item in.


Ah, that must be it. Thanks! I'll do that.



#259662 no more paenelian?

Posted by Minarvia on 31 July 2006 - 11:36 PM in Tashia

I'm not sure if the figurine needs to be in the Quick item slots to be used or not, but if you've got Shadowkeeper, all you have to do is select the slot you want to put it in (Scroll down in the inventory window until you see QuickSlot or Inventory rows) and add it in like you would to the head.


Ah, thanks! :blush: That sounds so easy now that you say it. I'll go off and do that right now.

#259180 Has it been done...?

Posted by Minarvia on 28 July 2006 - 10:55 AM in IE Mod Ideas

Now I am almost positive that that hasn't been done to Aerie.


No, to my knowledge there isn't such an avatar of Aerie.  But Mistress E did a lovly drawing of Aerie with her wings.  Ah, here it is, it is worth a look because it is a lovely drawing even tho it isn't BGII style.

#265960 No Fate Spirit Summinong?

Posted by Minarvia on 09 October 2006 - 08:36 PM in Edwin Romance

As I remember, you can't summon 'My love, Edwin the Mage' or whatever - only 'Edwin'. But I haven't played in ages, so I'm probably wrong... :)


Drat it, I don't have the Tweaks installed.  Sigh.  I know for certain I've summoned "my lover, Edwin" in the past.  He comes to you and says something about longing for his erotic onslaught, etc.  
I really don't know why I suddenly can't get him with my new install.  But thanks for trying, everyone.  If there are any more thoughts, tho, please go ahead and post.  I haven't given up hope!



#266719 No Fate Spirit Summinong?

Posted by Minarvia on 17 October 2006 - 09:41 AM in Edwin Romance

I wish I could be more help, but I really don't know what's causing this. I know that you should be able to summon 'my lover Edwin', I did write the lines for that and it should be implemented.


Thank you for trying.  I think I'll just try a re-install of the TOB portion and see it that will do it.  Maybe something just hiccupped somewhere.



#265928 No Fate Spirit Summinong?

Posted by Minarvia on 09 October 2006 - 03:28 PM in Edwin Romance

I know for a fact that a few times I did a TOB only game just for playtesting of mods and I was able to summon Eddie to my side.  Lately, however, after I have done a clean install and reinstall, and left out a bunch of mods I am not currently playing, I can no longer summon him.  I have definately installed the TOB because I re-ran it and since it did not give me the option to install, only to reinstall or uninstall, I'm sure Eddie should be available to me.  Any ideas on why he isn't?   :huh:


No-one?

Do you have Improved Fate Spirit Summoning (a feature of the BG2 Tweak Pack) installed? If you do, you will olly be able to summon NPCs you 'have met in your travels', and for a TOB only game, that's not good - <ou haven't met anyone yet. Uninstall it and see if you can summon Eddie now.

Hope this helps!


Thanks for the reply!  I don't recall installing that, but I'll check my log.  Thanks!

#277870 Welcome!

Posted by Minarvia on 08 January 2007 - 10:37 PM in Luxley Family

Let me say, firstly, welcome to SHS!  I have been lurking on the progress of these guys for quite some time.  I am really excited about them and look forward eagerly to any progress.  Plus, I LOVE the portraits.   :)



#258069 waiting with bated breath

Posted by Minarvia on 19 July 2006 - 06:30 PM in Tashia

Heh... it's posts like these that put a smile on even the grimmest modder's face. The good news is, is that development is really shortening up... I've got a last batch of tests to run, and some final code cleanup to do, and then we're ready for launch. The bad news is, is that my vacation is turning out a bit busier than expected, and it could be another week before I can fully focus on finishing Tashia.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words :), I hope you'll enjoy the updated version when it is finally released.



Well, enjoy what vacation you have left, all right? We'll be right here waiting to pounce upon Tashia as soon as she's up. :)

Tashia will be released later this week???? Yay!!!! :cheers: :cheers: :)



#260972 Random thoughts

Posted by Minarvia on 09 August 2006 - 03:54 PM in Chloe

I've been playing Chloe for the first time, and I actually really like her. She is pretty unique, really. I think you did a great job with her, especially since BG2 modding was relatively new when she was made.

As for your thoughts, I do think they are great ideas. It's nice to know that you have been thinking about these things. As for being busy, that is perfectly understandable. Everybody has a life away from the computer that is demanding of attention and time. But if you ever did have the time/motivation to finish Chloe or pursue other mod ideas, I would certainly be interested. Good luck with whatever comes your way. :)


I agree totally. I really enjoyed Chloe and am very sorry that her story was never finished. I had hoped the Chloe/pc romance would be finished someday, but, oh well. Things happen. Your life definately comes first. If you ever do more work I'll also be here to enjoy it. Good luck! :)



#258148 Volo

Posted by Minarvia on 20 July 2006 - 12:55 PM in Edwin Romance

Went through my files, and it turns out that I certainly did write a comment for Volo, back when I wrote the main romance. Not sure why it's not showing up - does it appear for anybody at all?


No, Laufey, it has never showed up for me. :( Now I want it I want it I want it!!!!! :D



#271970 Upgraded flirts?

Posted by Minarvia on 28 November 2006 - 11:43 PM in Edwin Romance

Very sorry if I'm being impatient.. but I had to ask.  :lol:

Are there going to be future versions of the flirt pack that add content?

The more flirting, the better, as far as I'm concerned.  :wub:



I agree!  I think that Laufey once said that she would be adding more, especially some Edwina specific ones.  We haven't heard from her lately, tho, have we?  
And a few differnt responses would be welcome if she has the time.



#260397 I wish there was a vampire kit

Posted by Minarvia on 04 August 2006 - 09:07 PM in IE Mod Ideas

Seifer is the one who remade that mod as Weidu.

He and other have stated (on threads I am too lazy to find) that TDD is not required to use the "Forgotten Children" mod.

So ignore that header in the readme that makes it sound like it only works with TDD.


Thanks so much, MTS. Yes, the line in the readme did indeed make it sound that way. I'll try it out this weekend. Yipee! :D
