Forced to marry Fruella?

Well as a twisted maverick I saw leave things as they are. If a character wants to have a harem, why not allow it.

 

Maybe you could tie the script to a ring item exchanged between both characters? If the character has the item, they can't marry someone else... make it one of those hard coded items like a familiar which can't be dropped, or sold.

Just an idea ...

 

IIRC, the leadet_get() function actually returns the PC who recruited the NPC. If so, it may be possible to check prior marriage

Edit: whipped something up.

Code:

def is_married( obj , who_is_spouse__option = -1):
	# DESCRIPTION:
	#   This function determines whether obj is married to a party NPC.
	#	Optionally, it also returns the spouse's name ID. (If there is more than 1 spouse, it returns 999)
	# Inputs:
	#     obj - should be a PC's object handle
	#     who_is_spouse__option - by default is -1
	#          if you wish to return the name ID of the spouse (instead of 0 or 1), change this variable to something else
	#          e.g. if obj is married to Fruella, it will return her name ID - 8067
	#          if obj is married to more than one person, it will return 999 :)
	# Example usage in dialogue:
	#      {11}{Sorry ma'am, I'm already married.}{}{1}{is_married(pc, 1) != 0 and is_married(pc, 1) != 8067 and is_married(pc, 1) != 999}{20}{}
	#      {12}{I would never betray my beloved Fruella!}{}{1}{is_married(pc, 1) == 8067}{40}{}
	#	   {13}{I'm gonna fuck all y'all! Yeehaw!}{}{1}{is_married(pc, 1) == 999}{60}{}
	marriage_array = []
	for npc in game.party:
		if npc.leader_get() == obj and npc.name in [8015, 8020, 8057, 8067]:
			# 8015 - Meleny
			# 8020 - Bertram
			# 8057 - Bertram (straight version)
			# 8067 - Fruella
			marriage_array+= [npc.name,]

	if len(marriage_array) == 0:
		return 0
	elif who_is_spouse__option == -1:
		return 1
	elif len(marriage_array) == 1:
		return marriage_array[0]
	else:
		return 999
	return 0

Note that it can't detect marriage to a non-party NPC (e.g. if you let Meleny stay at home, or Lazslo).

 

No objections there with the first. But with the second I just don't think it is plausible that the NPCs would agree with the sharing, beeing so different in kind.

 

As they are your love slaves, they should not complain at all.

 

Something tells me that Fruella would not just look kindly and say "whatever you want, love" when you introduce Meleny as your second wife or Bertram as your third... oke: "love slave"; you must have been listening too much Manowar... :evilgrin:

 

Ok , so you MIGHT have to use a "Dominate" or "Charm" to win her over first. Or better yet, just "Silence" her and all should be nice and quiet on the home front

 

Hi,

short solution for the ones who want to get the xp but not the Fruella:

search for 00069spinster.dlg in the game directory \ToEE\data\dlg folder:

1. first make a copy of the file, just in case
2. open it with notepad++

3. change all pc.follower_atmax()}{150} to pc.follower_atmax()}{100}
and all {pc.follower_add( npc ); game.quests[12].state = qs_completed} to {game.quests[12].state = qs_completed}

this way you can end the quest and also do the others (carpenter and cupid) too

You could simply use the console to give your party xp and avoid messing with the scripts. Also, Iirc there is a mod or option that gives all the initial fedex xp, such that you don't have to bother with these quests and still get the benefits.

Edit: It is a script that exists in temple+ and can be run from the console:
