📋 About This Mod

This is a very simple mod that fixes a very simple bug. If Shadowheart has enough Nightsong Points, she is prevented from making a major Act 3 decision on her own. I've also included a fix for her big decision in Act 2.

For Patch 8 players:

  • []ParentPoints bugThe NightsongPoints-ParentPoints bug is finally fixed in the Patch 8 full release! 🥳🥳🥳 If the ParentPoints bug is the only one you care about, you do not need this mod, and can uninstall/delete it if you're upgrading from Patch 7 to 8.

    []Act 2 dialogue bug: Not fixed in Patch 8 (as of 2025/04/17)

    Installation

    This mod currently does not work retroactively, so install it before unlocking all 3 memory dialogues in the Lower City (see bug explanation below for details). If you've already unlocked 2/3, this mod will still work as long as it's installed before unlocking the third.

    As of v1. 0. 0. 2, the mod works retroactively. As long as you haven't entered the endgame, loading a save where you've already unlocked enough memories should trigger her chat about the smells of the city.

    Install with your mod manager of choice.

    How can I tell if I have enough Nightsong Points?

    🛑 Spoiler warning - Act 2🛑

    There aren't many ways to tell in-game, but here are some of them:

    In Nightsong's Prison, if you have 20+ approval and enough Nightsong Points, Shadowheart will stop and ask you what she should do:

    If you ask Shadowheart how you're holding up in her estimations, between 40 and 50 approval, she will say "Trust isn't something that comes easily to me. But with you... I think I can make an exception."

    Note that Shadowheart sparing the Nightsong on her own does not guarantee that you have enough Nightsong points. This is a common misconception: she will always spare her with 40+ approval without any DC if you choose one of the following options:

    • []Say nothing.

      []This is your choice. I can't make it for you.

    • She knows something about you. Spare her, and see what she has to say.

      If you have Script Extender console enabled, the following command will return 1 if you have enough Nightsong Points, and 0 otherwise:

      print(GetFlag("82893505-534a-461a-8dd5-0f4677dad6ce",Osi. DB_Avatars:Get(nil)))
