I just finished HOTU. It was pretty good, but it looks like something weird happened. I seem to have ended up with both Nathyrra AND Aribeth as my lovers. Both of their epilogues mentioned their relationship with me and both of them talked about it in the dialogue with Mephistopheles.
I've read that this is actually possible, i.e. not a bug, but there's supposed to be a persuade check about it, and that never happened for me. In fact, there's apparently a lot of dialogue for each of them that I never saw. I got one scene where Aribeth said she could see why I liked Nathyrra so much and promised she wasn't going to interfere with that. Then she started flirting with me when the mimic stole my clothes. She never did anything like that afterward, but suddenly I'm her lover at the end. It was also her and not Nathyrra who wanted to talk to me right before going through the portal to Waterdeep.
I won't complain about the end result (lol), but it looks like I missed a lot of dialogue, and that's disappointing for an RPG. I'm not really sure how I could have missed it, either. I took Aribeth along as soon as I thawed her and stuck with her and Nathyrra for the rest of the game. I always talked to them when they approached me. I would think that would mean I'd see all of their dialogue, especially the dialogue they have with each other, but apparently not.
So did I do something wrong here? I have two mods installed, but one of them just makes the font bigger and the other gives you more options to tweak your gear's appearance, so I don't see how they could affect something like this. Or is this just something that can happen if you get unlucky with dialogue triggers or something?
