Valen Romance?
Yes, another thread about the romance.
I've been through HotU several times, and all Valen offers me is friendship.
What have I done wrong?

Hummm....
Did you go through all the talks with him and keep him happy?
If you've done these things and he's still just wants to be friends it might be a problem with in the game if so, there are Debugmode commands to set the romance on track.
Btw: Welcome to P&T Amadriel

I wonder whether you've had all of the possible talks in Chapter 2. You know that you get a talk initiated by Valen after resting when you have completed one of the tasks in HotU. After those talks, he has something else to say if you click on him and initiate conversation - during those times you'll find an extra dialogue option, I think it's probably no. 2.

Thank you for the welcome.
I thought I had all the talks with him. I'll try the debug mode and see if anything is wrong there. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll keep trying.

That does seem odd. I've played through without saying a single flirtatious thing to him and he still did the whole confession when we made it to Cania.
Unless you're hitting some kind of bug, you either didn't raise the variable high enough during previous conversations (which is unlikely unless you were actively mean--the requirement is pretty low), or at some point your PC said something that killed it before it started.

This site has a romance walkthrough of sorts. It's under the 6 at the top of the screen then "How to make Valen fall in love with your PC"

One thing that occurred to me is that the game won't come up with the love confession if the main character is male. Could it be that the nature of the bug is that the character's gender is being confused? If so you wouldn't have been having convos where Valen called the character 'my lady' even before the confession, if I recall my sneaky looks at the toolset correctly.
I haven't got a clue what you could do about it if that was the case (save starting with a new female character, which for all I know you may have done when you replayed it) but it's another long shot to consider...

You didn't play with cheats - or did you? Cuz, if you do so, you might forget to rest... During my third or so run through HotU (and I even didn't know that there was the best romance ever...), due to my "invincibility weapons" I had created with the toolset I had forgotten to rest. Thus, I also got Valen's friendship... You have to rest three times (minimum) in the Underdark, after each quest. After each dialog after rest, you'll have to talk to Valen on your own. With the patch, you'll even have four romance dialogs, but three are enough. Never insult him. If you flirt, it will make it easier, but if you are always friendly and polite, it normally should be enough. If it still doesn't work, you should contact the Bioware forums or do a reinstall...
It's not completely correct, but here are some hints: www.dark-nation.com/valen/
I got my first Valen confession during my fifth (?) or so run through HotU? In the beginning, I didn't like him and preferred Deekin.
By the way - which combination do yo use?
Who's you other companion? It should work anyway, but just a question.

@aldatariel- I read through this site and surprisingly found some dialogues I have never seen in Hordes of the Underdark! Like- Valens encounter with goblins and a paladin- where was it? I played through the expansion several times and never had the chance to ask the question. Have I done something wrong and didn't discover this dialogue?
By the way, did you like at least some of the bands I recommended you?

To get the "faith talk", you'll need a special bugfix - the link to NWN vault where you can download it is in the same thread where you found those lines and the link for the "baby talk" bugfix. There's also a bugfix to get a reaction from Valen when the mimic steals your clothes.
Concerning your pm, I will answer it tomorrow morning, just was busy during the last days and didn't want to hurry while answering. I will also search through the other threads here to get the links, OK?

Apparently it was a bug issue. I finally got the romance to trigger after many attempts...
And it was well worth the wait...lol
