I too am not sure whether you actually need to romance her, as the only time that I actually allowed her in the party was because I wanted to see what the romance was like. I have a nagging suspicious however, that the romance is not necessary, but to be on the safe side, I decided to go with the flow.

Also, you do need to respond correctly to the events, or people will really think you are evil, no matter how high your reputation is. Especially with regards to Jaheira, when she tries to seek reassurance from you that she did the right thing.<hr></blockquote>

I can confirm that you do not need to romance her. I've gotten the pin and i was playing a female character at the time and AFAIK no lesian romances in BG2 :D . It does however evolve around the Harper plot and Jaheira's romance IS intertwined with that, therefor the confusion. But you can get the Harper plot if you are not romancing her aswell.

Jaheira's romance and Harper Hold quest are different thing, and the latter one can be done without having a romance with her. To get the pin you must have a good REP, some 17 or higher. Anything below that will not yield the pin and the quest is considered as "failed".

As for Jaheira herself, then she's pretty OK. I like to have her in the party and the romance is also pretty well done. Good work, not to mention that she's definately a pretty useful party member.

Speaking of Jaheira and her quests, is she always going to go back to the harper stronghold when you boot her out of the party?

I ain't booting her anytime soon however since I was "approached" by Elmy first and then later by some of the other harpers in the Temple Ruins.

Only waited for a few days when I was still playing. Gonna try to wait more and see if the Temple Ruins may be the best bet. They approached me either two or three times there already, so it won't hurt to see what resting/resting/resting does there.

And I thought this pin was a Jaheira only pin?

Any thief or bard in ToB gets to use any item at all... Carsomyr, Corthala armor, Cernd's cloak, Dwarven Thrower, Staff of the Magi, etc. including of course the Harper Pin.
