#583657 [REQUEST][TRANSLATION (RUSSIAN)] Cursed Items Revision

Posted by Kulyok on 12 December 2015 - 12:38 AM in Resource Request Forum

Okay, but asking me was-is a very bad idea, because I generally don't know which Russian terms people use for translating general stuff; never played the game in Russian at all, actually. But here we go:

 

@10205 = ~Идентификация
Уровень: 1
Школа: Ясновидение
Расстояние: Личное
Длительность: Немедленно
Время произношения: Особое
Зона действия: 1 предмет
Спасбросок: Нет

Когда произносится это заклинание, имя и чары (но не проклятия) одного предмета, к которому прикасается волшебник, безошибочно открываются. Многие предметы можно использовать и неопознанными, но с огромным риском.~

 

(This is normal Windows encoding, btw). Good luck!

#580451 [HELP WANTED] Writer for 2 NPC mods

Posted by Kulyok on 11 August 2015 - 09:21 PM in Classifieds

What you're trying to do is "quenting" the characters. (In my language, at least): you have a short "quent"(backstory, biography), and you offer it to anyone who'd agree to develop the character fully for you.

That's usually a fun challenge, if the quent is interesting enough(for example, I'm participating in a quent-based story contest right now, and there're all types of characters: a zombie Watson with a mechanical arm in a steampunk world; a 90-year old Rapuncel who became a leader of a bandit gang, a girl who worked in a brothel to get gills - and many others). Thing is, a good mod takes a good part of a year(unlike a short story that takes a week or two), and it's far more interesting to write for one's own characters.

 

I mean, can you imagine taking a few months to flesh out someone's character based on four or five lines? Especially if the character is of a "very special" race(which is usually a bad sign, google the Mary-Sue list) and possesses no intriguing character traits, just a race and a deity.

 

(I'm just explaining why you may not receive any proposals on this one, unfortunately. Even if your backstories are good).

Heheheh.




#578213 Did CHARNAME and Imoen Step Outside of Candlekeep as Children?

Posted by Kulyok on 09 June 2015 - 12:07 AM in Baldur's Gate Series

Domi wrote a mini-mod inside Coran's Friendship(or Romance?) like that.

 

Coran: "Let's run away!"

PC: "Yay, let's do it!"

(screen, endgame)

 

Best ending ever.

 

In my headcanon, neither Imoen nor PC ever left Candlekeep. I recall the game isn't saying anything certain, and mods' authors interpret it however they like.




#578175 Mod Romance Standards

Posted by Kulyok on 07 June 2015 - 12:19 AM in IE Modding Discussion

For me, it's generally great to have lots of interesting content that's written from the heart and unique, and not-so-great to have boring stuff - one more round of "What's your relationship with Imoen?", "Tell me of Gorion and Sarevok", "We must find Irenicus!" and the obligatory "So, Child of Bhaal, huh?" Edwin's romance, for example, is unique - it deals with Edwin's personality and crisis of conscience(he was supposed to kill CHARNAME for the Red Wizards and didn't); Sarevok's romance is also very Sarevok'y, concentrating on his, um, manly stature(gulps).

 

Romance conflicts are good, and four-five lovetalks would be fine until the first one, but keep in mind that you can write a mod conflict with Anomen, but writing a conflict with Edwin, Haer'Dalis, Adrian, Kivan, Kelsey, Solaufein, Darian and Waukeen knows who else? And then updating it each time a new mod springs forward? A hopeless effort, I say.


I would say it's best to have eighteen or twenty or more lovetalks before confession and the variable becoming 2, because the romance _before_ the love confession is the most interesting part, the "will-they-or-won't-they" part. Besides, multiromancing is popular before commitment, so that the player has room to breathe and choose and maybe pretend she's not flirting with That Guy at all.

After commitment, I'd still have a minimum of five-eight lovetalks, because otherwise it might feel like the NPC's finally gotten CHARNAME into his bed and then fallen silent, because he needs nothing else from her. Which is a major turn-off.

For ToB, I'd say nine or twelve lovetalks with a short(40 min) timer is fine, if you already have a SoA romance. More is better, less than eight would probably feel too sparse.


Mind you, that's just me, the girl who wrote twenty extra player-initiated conversations for one(!) of Xan's romance paths in ToB alone just because she felt like it.




#576239 Pillars of Eternity News

Posted by Kulyok on 27 March 2015 - 12:06 AM in General Gameplay

An important reminder, now that the game is out: Pillars of Eternity does not have any romance. So you'll be wasting your money if you're expecting it.




#574316 Khalid mod for BG II

Posted by Kulyok on 26 December 2014 - 01:05 AM in IE Mod Ideas

Hi, I just wanted to respond to your message here, because it might concern other modders.  First of all, best of luck with maintaining and expanding your Khalid mod! Second, it's really great to see Khalid alive and in game. 

 

I really agree that immersion is important, and it sounds pretty silly when Xan or Kelsey are talking about his death with sadness when he's standing right here. Right? Right. But there are fifty++ NPC mods out there, and it would be pretty hard to reach ALL the modders to change them all.

 

So I would recommend to consider these:

 

- either leave these instances alone, and the players would gracefully close their eyes to this little inconsistency;

 

- or, if it is a one-alone banter(for example, a banter with Xan happens on the Promenade), you can check if the mod is using the banter's variable anywhere else, and if it doesn't(and only if it doesn't) you quietly set this variable in your mod to 10000, if Xan is in party. This way the banter won't trigger. I think it's allow-able in your case. 

 

- but if this banter is used as a part of a romance track, then you're in trouble, since stopping the romance track is probably too much, and skipping a romance conversation is not so good(maybe it's an important romance conversation). In this case, I doubt fifty modders would change their romance tracks. :( So I would welcome suggestions on what to do here. Weidu does offer opportunities to change a mod's dialogue(tra) line, deleting "Khalid" from that line during installations or something, but that's a delicate line to walk, and bad coding can mess up things(I admit I never tried it yet myself). Thoughts?




#574181 Longer Road or Redemption

Posted by Kulyok on 19 December 2014 - 12:40 PM in Longer Road

The Longer Road is your choice. :) It's a huge expansion of Redemption, and it adds Irenicus as an NPC! I liked it(though reading the readme is recommended).




#574122 Dragon Age: Inquisition General Discussion

#574040 New Line Cinema LOTR imagery made isometric?

Posted by Kulyok on 15 December 2014 - 07:39 AM in IE Help

Not sure how legal it'd be.

 

(the movie was not so good, btw, for those considering to go. The beginning was okay, but then - very little story, lots of senseless hack-and-slash. And two seconds of the Three Rings).
