Hmm, ok, I don't know anything about PS5 but from your statement I am guessing that there are no mods there?
One of the ladies only had a 45% success chance could that be why? I mean I succeeded but still
It doesn't matter. As long as you succeed you should get the Renown boost.
Thank you so much for helping me work through this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I have a one year old son so i have like a few hours a week of quiet time and this is what I do with it. I know it's silly that it's this important to me but if you don't know already you will one day lol
No problem, my friend!

I do not yet have children, but look forward to them with a mix of excitement and horror.
I myself am a "Renown hound" and have gotten Chivalry in the past just for the Renown boost, so I feel your pain, heh.
I checked the script files, and here is what it says in the scheme itself:
Code:
if = {
limit = {
OR = {
scope:court_outcome = flag:success_soulmate
scope:court_outcome = flag:success_kiss
}
culture = {
has_cultural_parameter = romance_scheme_bonuses
}
exists = dynasty
}
dynasty = {
add_dynasty_prestige = minor_dynasty_prestige_gain
}
}
Chivalry definitely has the "romance_scheme_bonuses" parameter:
Code:
parameters = {
can_use_sparring_duel = yes
romance_scheme_bonuses = yes
romance_scheme_penalty = yes
ai_romance_scheme_increase = yes
poet_trait_romance_bonuses = yes
can_host_joust_contests = yes
}
("dynasty_prestige" is the script name for Renown.)
So you should get the Renown regardless of whether which outcome you choose and what your success chance is, as long as the scheme actually succeeds and you get the choice between being soulmates or just a kiss.
One potential issue I can think of, which confused me in the past, is if you adopted the Chivalry tradition yourself into your culture. Did you do this? If you did, there's a waiting period after you take the decision until the tradition is established. I missed this the first time around, because it wasn't clearly explained (or maybe I was just too excited at the prospect of more Renown and didn't read through things properly, heh

).
Did you adopt the tradition yourself? If you click on your culture and go to the traditions, you should be able to see if it's fully incorporated or not. If it's not, then there should be a legend over it saying how long is left until it's established. This works like an either/or - until the tradition is established it's as if your culture didn't have it at all, then once it's established it kicks in fully from day one.
