A few questions... (spoilers maybe)

[Nickzilla]

First of all dont bother moaning at me for asking to be spoiled. I've finished the game once (almost twice now) and for those times I never found the answers to my questions.
1.Where can I find a list of romance triggers?
2.Where are the items required for crom-frayer?
3.Can you ever get Yoshimo back after the "incident" in the asylum?
4.Is there such thing as official mods?
5.Where is the blade for the Wave halberd?
6. Are there any +3 Scimtars or clubs?
Thanks in advance for any help [img]smile.gif[/img]

well, if you really seek spoilers and want to find out the answers for most of your questions, do some web search, and find yourself a walkthrough; some walkthroughs are very, very detailed, including all the weapon spoilers.
1. so it's easy to know how to get crom faeyr (you probably throw away or didn't take a seemingly useless key in the course of Windspear quest)and the Halberd Wave ( probably you either didn't go to the "Fish" city or didn't do the quest in the right way to get the blade)made.
2. as for Yoshimo, I've heard there's a trick to get him back, but not sure whether it still works (that is, the latest patches might fix it)...the same thing, find a walkthrough that will tell you such tricks.
3. AFAIK, there are only official patches, and no official mod (if it's official, it should be just called "add-on" or "extension pack").
4. yes, there are + 3 Clubs and Scimitars; you can buy a + 3 Club, but the Scimitars are not attainable through usual/ordinary means.
5. there are SoA Romance Guides floating aorund online. do some googling or yahooing.

Spoilers ahead...

"1.Where can I find a list of romance triggers?"
Not sure what you mean by triggers. Could you be more specific? teardropmina is probably right about your best bet being looking for a walkthrough, though.

"2.Where are the items required for crom-frayer?"
- the Shadow Dragon has the scroll
- the Hammer is in the Mind Flayer area in the sewers under the Temple District (you need the key from Tazok in the Windspear Hills)
- the Gauntlets are carried by one of the Halflings in the Planar Sphere
- the Belt is carried by one of the Demon Knights in the Demogorgon room in the Kuo Toa lair in the Underdark ("sacrifice" a creature on his statue to get them to show up)

"3.Can you ever get Yoshimo back after the "incident" in the asylum?"
Not legitimately, no.

"4.Is there such thing as official mods?"
I'd have to say No to this one. Throne of Bhaal is an official Expansion/Sequel. The patches & the fixpack are semi-official, but they're not really mods. The closest thing to an official mod may be the Tactics Mod, just based on so many people using it.

"5.Where is the blade for the Wave halberd?"
It's held by the Sahuagin Prince. You have to take Saemon's offer of a ship, then kill the Prince at some point (either after betraying the King or while working for the King).

"6. Are there any +3 Scimtars or clubs?"
I can't remember where you can buy a +3 Club, but Trademeet would be my guess. Is Water's Talon +3? If so, it's a scimitar in the Jaellat (sp?) house in Ust Natha, IIRC. Also, the Ease of Use mod will let you keep Drizzt's loot, including his Scimitars.

Spoilers ahoy!

4. Unfinished Business is as close to an official mod as you'll get (because it implements features and quests which were apparently dropped from the game due to publishing deadlines).

6. There are no +3 scimitars until Chapter 5. Both Rashad's Talon and Belm are +2. There is one +3 club (Blackblood) which you can buy.

I'd say Ascension is THE most official mod out there, because it's made by David Gaider, one of the designers of BG2. IIRC it deals with the originally intended ending of the story.

There is no legitimate way to get Yoshimo...

there is a trick:
leave him in CC before going to Brynlaw...
When you come back go to CC.. immediately soon as you enter click on him to talk to him and have him join your party. He will still die but now he can be resurrected through a raise dead or resurrection spell..
I've nver tried it myself and this has been fixed by FixPack and no longer works... not sure if any patch fixed it too.

No it doesn't. From the Ascension readme, as written by David Gaider:

The whole thing started on Black Isle's BG2 message boards. A friend of mine, Kevin Dorner (who runs an excellent site called Baldurdash at http://members.home.net/mrkevvy/ ...definitely check it out), had expressed a bit of disappointment at the fact that he had had no choice but to fight the strongest member of the Five, Balthazar. Balthazar was a Lawful Good monk, after all, and wouldn't a charismatic and heroic Lawful Good character be able to maybe talk some sense into him? He suggested that it would have been better to offer a non-fighting alternative or, hey, how about getting Balthazar to fight with you in the final battle? Another poster (alas, I forget who exactly) offered another idea that it would have been a great idea if the Five had been resurrected in the final battle...that it would be cool to face them all at once. And I agreed...that was a very interesting idea.

Hence the IIRC. I do recall reading about it somewhere though. Doesn't really matter really. It's a good MOD nevertheless [img]smile.gif[/img]

Actually, LennonCook, Ascension really is about 1/2 official content--the additional powers gained in the Pocket Plane, and the Original Tougher Demogorgon, for instance. Apart from the Improved Bosses, I think the only non-official bit added in Ascension was the Roleplaying Balthazar you mention.

Ok. Thanks for all the answers eveyone. The reason I asked everything here was because im accessing from my college, where the cyber patrol stops me from going on anything game related.
I have a few more questions though.
1. Is there any way to turn Anomen evil without using mods?
2. In the Vicinoia romance are you rude or nice?
