    I don't have personal experience but read this "Racial (lame) issues:
    Dwarves and Halforcs can’t get any romance
    Humans, Halfelves and Halflings can romance anyone of the four romancing NPCs depending on gender.
    Male Elves can’t romance Viconia.
    Male Gnomes can romance Aerie ONLY. Female Gnomes can’t romance Anomen." in a romance walkthru. Perhaps a bug fix exists on Baldurdash.com website? Sorry your little guy may be sleeping alone for awhile.

    Well the common opinion is no, at least I have not seen anyone say you can, however everyone also says only human/elf/halfelf can have romance, but Ive had a halforc start one with Jaheira, I didnt know about the romances at the time so screwed it up.

    Dwarf don't care much for females that are not of their race, however I say they should at least be able to romance gnomes...

    [​IMG] Yes, but Headbanger, the game would need some female gnome NPC's first. :p

    In IWD my female gnome illusionist was bald and had a beard. You could romance her if you want. ;)

    Well actually you can... There's a hack on SP that allows your dwarf to have a romance. If you want to use it, of course, is up to you.

    Aside: I tried the patch and instead of Anomen making passes at my female dwarven cleric, Jaheira and Aerie started fighting over her. So, the patch only seems to work for males of the unromanceable races. I'm sure it was a surprise to my little lawful-good cleric to be fending off interracial lesbian romances. But then, dwarves don't differentiate much between genders so maybe it doesn't matter. I think anyone would find Jaheira sexier than Anomen anyway.

    Ooops. :p
    I don't think the guy who made the patch thought anyone would be playing female dwarves or half-orcs...
    I'll put a note about it somewhere...

    Edit after checking:
    Erm, no, the All Race Romances Hack is supposed to work for females too. Which one exactly did you use?

    [​IMG] I always wonder: How do you people know all these things? Of which race can have a romance with who etc... Have you tried it? Read it somewhere? It's not in my manual, or my eyes are too sore caused by staring at the monitor for too many hours while playing BG! ;)
