Throne of Bhaal Aerie Romance Stuck?

Remove all ads!

So I've gone a ways into this romance. It got to the point that by the time the party reached Amkethran, Aerie revealed to my character (LG Male Human Cavalier) that she was pregnant with their child. I chose (as I did when I played the original version of the expansion/game) to say I was excited and so happy for the two of us. Last night, I defeated Sendai & completed the opened challenge in the Pocket Plane. Between then, nothing. I don't know if it's because I've completed things faster than I did when I originally played (due in part to better strategies now compared to 20 years ago) or if it's just a glitch. Anybody know how exactly it works? I was hoping to have the dialogue advance so when I defeat the Ravager in the Pocket Plane, I can get the proper marriage dialogue and then - with enough time - Aerie gives birth to her child with my character.

The Clua Console is active, so I can use that if need be (as long as I know what codes to put in). Any helpful input is appreciated.

 

Getting their attention so they can help?

 

Yeah, sure, we can figure this out. Aerie's romance in ToB goes at a pace of about 1 dialog per hour of real time.

After the first baby talk, there's two more conversations on a normal schedule. One starts with:

Where you can discuss the details of her pregnancy and tell her that you'll support her. Not sure whether you've had this one.

The second starts after having completed the pocket plane challenges when you can ask her to marry you.

The final dialogue then occurs after 30 days of in-game time when Aerie gives birth to her child.

 

Nope, haven't yet. One problem (if it still works that way) is that I often can only play at snippets at a time, either an hour or less. Still, even after an hour, nothing. And yes, I remember the dialogues clear as dawn and neither of those have happened yet. I've gone through all of it to the point of where Aerie gave birth in the original version of the game.

The question is if there's a way to trigger those dialogues via the CLUA console. I'm starting Abazigal's Lair but still nothing.

 

Of course, I just needed to make sure that you're actually stuck.

Try this first:

Code:

SetGlobal("AerieRomanceActive","GLOBAL",2)
Eval('ActionOverride("Aerie",SetGlobal("ExpLoveTalk","LOCALS",13))')
Eval('RealSetGlobalTimer("AerieRomance","GLOBAL",ONE_ROUND)')

After that, go rest first and then head to a non-dungeon area. If her companion AI script is running, this should trigger the dialogue.

If it doesn't trigger, run this command afterward and let me know what it returns.

Code:

GetGlobal("AerieRomanceActive","GLOBAL")

 

FINALLY got around to using the console commands you first mentioned, aaaaaaaaand... EET VERKS! EET VERKS!!

Thank you so much for that. Now, I just need to get through Abazigal's Lair, the remaining challenges, get married and witness my holy warrior become a father!

 

You're welcome. Enjoy the rest of the game.

 

Okay, so the marriage dialogue triggered normally after I beat the Ravager in the Pocket Plane. Don't know how long I have to wait for the baby to be born. I bet it doesn't help that I already beat Watcher's Keep before I beat Yaga-Shura.

Edit: Never mind! The baby's here!

 

And that's the ball game! As of last night, I FINALLY BEAT THRONE OF BHAAL!! The Bhaalspawn Saga comes to a close, my Cavalier choosing to become fully mortal so he can live out the rest of his life happily with Aerie. The epilogue those two lovebirds had was more or less what I expected: A happy ending.

Thank you all very much for your help, folks. Now to just finish The Black Pits II (which should be soon) and then I can just give it all a rest (for a time).

 

Upate: The Black Pits II is done as of yesterday afternoon, so I am taking a break from both Enhanced Editions for a while. I'm planning on upgrading my Windows OS (from 8.1 to 11) with my brother's help (either next weekend or the one after) so I can play Baldur's Gate III sooner or later. It's been on fun ride, but on to the next chapter of gaming for me!
