hi
i have reputation of 20 heroic, Jaheira was complaining about that all the time but i didnt give it much a thought

as consequence now while im hanging in cloakwood she just leaves the party after fighting some shadow druids

i have a savefile when entering the map so i open it with shadowkeeper and change my reputation to 10 (even tried to run around the swordcoast and sleep) but Jaheira still leaves no matter what

so i want to ask whether theres a way to change her attitute toward the party or prevent her from leaving

thx

p.s. im playing with easytutu, bg2tweak pack (the happy patch dont seem to work for me

), npc project (jaheiras quest in cloakwood) and some other mods but nothing to do with jaheira.

Jaheira shouldn't leave you for a to high reputation. Yes she will become unhappy and complain, but she shouldn't leave your party for it. Check your manual for the alignment/reputation table and you see a neutral npc will only break with a very low reputation. It could be one of your mods but with what you showed she shouldn't break. She will however become unhappy (she is notorious for this). Only other thing l can think of is that she dislikes specific actions. What does she say when she leaves? Does she also takes Khalid?

Since Jaheira is herself half druid, her leaving seems related to your fighting the shadow druids. I don't recall this ever happening to my me, but it might be a feature of one of your mods. So try not fighting them and be diplomatic (say you're after the bandits who defile the forest and so on). Since druids are crap fighters they are never worth any XP and never drop any nice equipment anyway.
On the other hand, if you lose whining Jaheira now, very soon you will meet a very nice little Lawful Good fighter/cleric, whom I would pick over Jaheira and Branwen any day.

Hehe, yeah, that is cool

I don't think that Jaheira has a problem with fighting Shadow Druids. I've read in the Gamebanshee walkthrough that if you have Jaheira in your team when you go into the Cloakwood Forest, Shadow Druids will automaticly attack you when they see you. You get no chance to talk to them, not even to insult them properly, they just attack you because they don't like you travelling with a druid from another order. So it would surprise me that Jaheira would suddenly turn angry when killing them, since they were the ones trying to kill you in the first place! Also, Jaheira doesn't strike me as very tolerant when it comes to rival druid orders. And when you've played her quests in Baldur's Gate 2, you'll find out that the Harpers can be a rather arrogant and closed bunch of three hut huggers. Not the kind that goes out smoking peace pipes with other orders. Or whatever it is that these druids smoke.

Yeah, that's why I hate those hot-headed, nihilist druids. What a notion, to be passionate about neutrality!
Anyway, since she wouldn't leave because of reputation, and it isn't part of the storyline, I suppose it's one of your mods or just a bug. Unless, of course, you left Khalid behind, in which case she would follow him.
Now, if I were you, I would try different things, such as chucking her just before the encounter, and then collect her again just after; if that doesn't work, have her read a cursed scroll of petrification, or maybe have a little accident with a cave bear or something, and then turn her back to flesh or raise her as needed. If it's triggered by your encounter with the shadow druids, such experimenting might help you keep her. Good luck!
