Ignorant

Problem solved. I searched for "reputation" in FHNAT and found:

//DEPARTURE DUE TO REPUTATION//

//Leaving at rep 9//
IF
InParty(Myself)
!Global("FHNathRomance","GLOBAL",1)
!Global("NathRomanceActive","GLOBAL",2)
ReputationLT(Player1,9)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("NathGoes","GLOBAL",1)
END

IF
InParty(Myself)
OR(2)
Global("FHNathRomance","GLOBAL",1)
Global("NathRomanceActive","GLOBAL",2)
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
!StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
ReputationLT(Player1,9)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("NathGoes2","GLOBAL",1)
END

IF
InParty(Myself)
OR(2)
Global("FHNathRomance","GLOBAL",1)
Global("NathRomanceActive","GLOBAL",2)
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
!StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
Global("NathGoes3","GLOBAL",0)
ReputationLT(Player1,
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("NathGoes3","GLOBAL",1)
END

With ShadowK I could then set the NathGoes to 0. Then I removed the triggers from the FHNAT file in the Nathaniel foldser and reinstalled the mod to help keep the problem from happening again. And it seems have worked.

I'm not really that into bears (old, fat and hairy). I much prefer the hollywood-pretty type, but a bit thicker skin and tougher nerves wouldn't hurt. Not that I mind being nurturing and comforting IRL, but in a killing-game like BG2 it seems a bit malplaced, even if you're playing a cleric of eh Lathander or whatever. Nevertheless, I've only come to the point where he's just got some bad news about his ex and I can't really judge the entire romance based on that, so perhaps my impression is wrong. I do think, however, that a weak personality like Nate should be easier to manipulate and corrupt for a charismatic and intelligent evil or chaotic BGMC. If badasses like Viconia and Sarevok can be "redeemed" and Anomen corrupted, then surely Nate should be a piece of cake.

The problem with reloading an earlier save is that my only earlier save is too early. (Always a stupid mistake, especially when playing with a lot of mods). I'd have to replay 30 game days to get to the point where I am now... Isn't there any way to edit the savegame or CLUA the problem away, please? I'm pretty attached to the little guy, even if I have to go out of character a bit to romance him.



PS, Happy new year! DS
