A Proper Lady
Henry is a hero, Rosa Ruthard is unimpressed: this mod presents a more nuanced take on Henry and Rosa’s potential romance.
In Ruthard Palace, instead of a choice to sleep with Rosa, Henry can only try to kiss her. From there, Henry can see her the next morning; however, since she wished to be alone, he’ll need to unlock her door to visit her before the next quest. If Henry speaks to her in the morning ("Can we talk?"), their dialogue will be substantially edited for continuity, and bringing up Rosa’s father will incur a heavy reputation penalty, though, resulting in an amusing yet abrupt exchange.
Shortly before the the heist, Henry can speak with Hans about his ‘evening’ with Rosa, and the dialogue will be contextually very different, with many edits. After the quest "Oratores", all dialogue will return to normal, and expect the default ‘kiss goodbye’ Rosa ending as if Henry had tried to romance her. For as this mod will reinforce: in the end, Henry may be the hero – but Rosa Ruthard is still unimpressed.
Key Changes Summary:
– All skill-checks with Rosa are increased in difficulty.
– Rosa really dislikes the idea of their ‘romance’ being known to her father.
– Rosa will not sleep with Henry.
– Henry can lie to Hans, about sleeping with Rosa (dialogue is adjusted).
Localization:
– Dialogue Choice edits (UI) only support English localization; therefore, if you play the game in another subtitled localization, these edits will NOT show.
Compatibility:
– Not PTF
– Not compatible with any mod that edits Quest files governing Henry and Rosa’s dialogue.
Note:
– Mod best for save games prior to meeting Rosa ("Via Argentum").
A big thanks to frankdelero, who’s invaluable knowledge of Quest files, made this mod possible.
