However, I can't see any references to Adbel Adrian's kid.
There are some code blocks about "TheKid", as Chubblot said, but it doesn't point to Abdel's child.


I'm wondering if someone extrapolated out from Minsc having a special scene with "thekid" and just decided that it was Abdel's kid?

I don't know if I buy what the rpgcodex post said about them having "removed" this stuff, because if you do even just a basic text search it flags a fair bit for Sylvira and the originmoments heading for the red wizard. If the line about rot under bandages had pointed to some random or unused string then I'd be more on board with it, but since it triggers for the Gale tag... I just don't know.

On the topic of name changes etc:

There are two "sex" scenes listed that don't relate to any current characters:
Rufus - <content contentuid="h542b61e0g9238g4986gb7e1g3099e41dd70c" version="1">|Sex is optional, but if your origin does have sex in this scene, please set these object flags: ORI_HadSexWithRufus AND ORI_HadSexWithCompanion, as these are checked elsewhere. Thank you!|</content>
Snurd - <content contentuid="hc7a607cdgb3f6g4f7egb8aeg50f1a17cbbb3" version="1">|Sex is optional, but if your origin does have sex in this scene, please set these object flags: ORI_HadSexWithSnurd AND ORI_HadSexWithCompanion, as these are checked elsewhere. Thank you!|</content>

The issue is that Snurd is a goblin near the checkpoint, and Rufus might be an internal name for the rat in the grove (only place the "has met rufus" flag seems to crop up. And those text strings are referenced by the Minsc romance scene after the party ("Rufus") and the Helia romance scene ("Snurd")

So we might even be catching placeholder names.
