Writing for Solaufein can be difficult, but it is do-able. We just have to remember that he is Wes's creation and follow his lead in how we write our flirt pack, Sola-initiated flirts, dialogues and interjections. There are many discussions on Solaufein both in this forum and in the Solaufein forum that explore who he is and how he came to be how he is when he meets the PC.
The Solaufein romance is complete, we are not re-writing it. What we are doing is adding content such as the flirt pack and additional banters/interjections. Wes has final approval of all content.
From the Solaufein Readme file:
So although Solaufein is "an Underdark Heathcliff, brooding and comely", he
shouldn't require babying. He mostly asks philosophy questions. The BGII
dialogue medium does not really lend itself to exploring such issues
fully. You should imagine that your character and Sola actually have
detailled discussions that aren't made explicit. Similarly, you may find at
some point that you want to say something that isn't an option in the
dialogue. At this point you should realize two things. One is that you can
write to me and I'll add your response to the dialog tree. The other is
that you must actually care about the issues involved for this to be
happening, so the romance has attained its goal of being interesting.
I highly recommended that you read this file, as well as play through at least once or more with Solaufein to familiarize yourself with his style. You can also read through the dialouge with Infinity Explorer, or extract the .D file with Weidu. If you read through the current threads, you can see flirts and banters posted that also show his style, Sphira and Hendryk are good examples of this.
Sola’s style is a bit formal, and he is even a bit shy for a drow. After all, he’s in what is a brand new world for him, and unsure of his reception by those above ground who have long hated Drow as a race, and don’t bother to know them as individuals. He does tend to quote poetry, but Wes has said he doesn’t have to do that every banter. He also has a philisophical bent.
And at this point, I’ll ask the others who have written for our darling drow to chime in with their own hints and tips
