Coran Help

[Porcelyn]

Is there a romance guide for Coran? The only time I was successful at it was when I didn't sleep with him at all but I had the friendship mod at the time and I think that overwrote a bunch of stuff. There was 0 dialouge about the baby for example.

 

So I unistalled the friendship mod and reinstalled all of bg1 npc. I read that LT4 was when it was safe to sleep with him but I don't know what one that is. I am at the one where he wants to run away from the group. I am getting a little depressed with him breaking up with my characters (lol I need to get out more), so any help would be appriciated.

There's a romance guide here: http://www.davelevy.info/Downloads/mBN_RG_Coran.html

 

FYI, it does mention that there is "randomness added to the romance". So, I don't think there is a definite path through the romance (i.e., you could choose the same responses and not get the same outcome).

Having successfully romanced Coran twice, I can offer some pointers:

 

1. You have to refuse to sleep with him twice. You'll know it's safe to accept when the conversation revolves around him giving you the moon from the sky.

 

2. I don't know what specifically affected that fact, but Coran has never brought up the possibility of taking care of the baby in either one of my playthroughs (even on the one where he was unromanced). I think it may have something to do with the fact that Jaheira and Khalid were always in my party when you rescue the baby: Jaheira gets upset at Coran's obvious reluctance to have anything to do with the child (as she seemingly wants one of her own) and Khalid interjects to try to soothe her. This seems to preclude any further discussion of the baby.

 

Keep in mind, I do also have the extra friendship talks installed, so I don't know whether that has any effect. Although I seem to recall that the romance overrides the friendship talks. The content wouldn't match otherwise, so it seems strange to me that the friendship talks would override the whole baby scenario, rather than the other way round.

 

3. With both of the above taken into the account, I've gotten the same outcome to the romance both times: he professes love and says that he'll stay with Charname no matter what happens.

Thank you both very much. The guide does mention a baby path but I have never seen it. I kept a save right before the moon talk and it's going well according to the guide.
