So, I've completed Vilja's second quest (helping Heneri find a certain special someone) and have taken her on a date in Skingrad. Halfway through the evening, she asked if my character was in love with Fergus. Well, the thing is, she's quite fond of them both, and ideally I'd like to romance both - if it were possible to do so in an above board, everyone knows, polyamorous sort of way in-game then I'd opt for that, but I'm sort of guessing that if I say "yes!" it might close off Vilja's romance track? I went with "I think you know who I love..." but just wondering if it would have been "safe" to say yes? (I did go back and answer again just to see what she said, she was kind of... disappointingly not-disappointed if one is a monogamous sort! I'm assuming she immediately switched to 'pal mode'?) If it comes down to it, then Vilja will win every time, but my character's an open-minded sort of Altmer...

Americo: (smothering sounds)

I'm really worried about that myself. How do you know for certain if you just trashed a romance?

I'm honestly not sure I ended up reloading to the start of the date and studiously avoiding the "our companionship" option (I think that was the one that triggered the Fergus question). Played on, did a bit more of her quests (she's now learned two new spells! And I found her some ingredients (in my Luggage)...) and after a few days she told me about a dream she had, and it seems that we are now "official" (Hope none of this counts as spoilers...) Haven't yet triggered Fergus's romance, I'm assuming they aren't aware of each other's romances (i.e. it's not like in Skyrim where there's a "married" flag or whatever) and I'm guessing she won't ask about Fergus now.

Still haven't quite braved launching Fergus' romance, I'm 90% sure I've read that they won't interfere (possibly barring the conversation I mentioned above, which so far - possibly because Vilja's romance is officially underway) with one another, but argh.
New question/issue - I gave Vilja some items she requested to make me a set of armour on 12th Sun's Dusk, it says it should take her "a few days", it's now the 22nd Sun's Dusk and she hasn't finished - is this normal or should I be concerned? I haven't had her with me the whole time (was off doing some quests while she settled in to Red Rose Manor), I don't know if that affects it? (I seem to recall in Skyrim, her great-granddaughter took under a week, but obv timescales may be different...)

Is that the Wolf Armor? I think it took about five days for me (she gave it to me while dungeon crawling and overburdened me ...not to mention as a pure mage I don't wear armor). But if you were away from her over 72 hours something may have reset.

Ah, and there I was, being polite and giving her time to herself to work on it! (Took her along again and she eventually finished it )

I think the scripts may pause after 72 hours apart, so just stop by and interact with her occasionally if you don't want her following at the time.

Hmm, new question (may be some mild spoilers, I guess), we're engaged and I had the second, erm, "meeting" with Runar on the 23rd Morning Star, it's now the 6th Sun's Dusk (so, just under two weeks later, I think) and nothing new has happened - just wanted to double check this is fine and normal and just Vilja taking her time? I'd actually gotten as far as about the 11th or 12th of Sun's Dusk but decided to reload an earlier save (completed the MQ then realised one of my other mods needed access to Oblivion Gates...) and there was still no further news on the romance front. We've had a couple of evenings out and one evening at home, not sure if that makes a difference? And she's been either with me or "relaxing" in a hotel room/house while I nip out and get some stuff done, but I don't think we've been apart for more than a few hours at a time.
If it's just her taking her time, that's cool, I just want to check it's not supposed to be that something happens a few hours after meeting Runar but it's failed to trigger, or whatever!

Also she keeps commenting on the fact that I should wear the armour she made me more often - I enchanted the cuirass/greaves/gauntlets (the boots were already enchanted) and am wondering if maybe the mod is checking for if I wear it (I'm mostly wearing a mithril set at the moment, but I do wear it some of the time) and not seeing it as there because it's got a new name now? (Probably clutching at straws, but you never know, this is a fiendishly smart mod...)

Oh dear! Hmm, Heneri's finally agreed to teach Vilja the last spell she can, and I'm now on an errand which requires (yay!) gathering ingredients, so I'm hoping the romance will move on after that's done... I do hope enchanting things hasn't caused any problems other than Vilja sulking a bit (what's new? A girl after my own heart...)

Still not sure if Vilja's lost interest, though we apparently just had a letter from Heneri, who seems to have what I'm given to understand the kids (tm) have already stopped calling "mad game". Also, I've just walked out of Falanu's shop and witnessed one of the Skingrad Guards cutting down all his... colleagues? What are colleagues called in a military setting? Anyway, the other guards. There were two already dead on the road, at first I couldn't work out what was going on (I was a bit worried because Wolfgang accidentally bit someone while fighting a rat before and the guards were shooting at him, but he's gone into Colovian Traders with Vilja and seems fine now) but then I noticed one guard just shooting at his mates, who didn't fight back or anything.
Edit: he's now casually wandering around looting the bodies. And yet if I cut him down, *I* will be the one who gets a bounty.

(Probably clutching at straws, but you never know, this is a fiendishly smart mod...) She's never complained that I didn't wear the armor she made; but I now play as a pure mage - no armor at all - so maybe that's the difference. Perhaps merely donning that armor occasionally, even if just to walk around town then put it back in the closet, will satisfy her. (The problem, as I saw it, was that by the time you've progressed far enough into the relationship with Vilja for her to make the armor, you have already acquired better armor. Like your girlfriend giving you an economy car when you are already driving a Mercedes.) As for the romance progressing, I suspect many factors may come into play; player level, game time elapsed, quests completed, disposition, etc.; possibly even a random factor involved. You've mentioned engagement, a topic I've never encountered with Vilja.
