Arghhh! I want to go to Spellhold and Eddie refuses to leave Athkatla. This is the same problem a previous poster had. I have the new version and this is the first time I wanted to leave before Eddie became himself again. We only had the kiss, we're nowhere near the letter phase yet. I'm playing with Beyond the Law and this is the perfect time for Spellhold...but, alas. I'll guess I'll have to kill some time or leave my game on pause a lot.
Just thought someone would want to know.

Alternative portraits is always interesting since a picture says more then a thousand words right? It can give a really different feel of the character.

A couple of banter samples would be nice. I am really curious about Brythe's character and manner of speaking, and how he will relate to party members.

Finally being able to actually roleplay an evil character. I would install everything.

Took the words right out of my mouth! I would install everything.

Glad you've come back!

Anyways what was the final decision? Was it fully decided she'd be a mage?

Hi Kael,

Umm, let me just say that I believe the decision that was made will make her a more complete and fun character to have in your party!


Peace
Keldon

I'm sure I'll find her fun no matter what her class is. Oh, and if she is easy to pick up early on. You won't stick her in Firkraag's Lair, will you?

Kindrek took a fair amount of heat because his inventory items couldn't be moved.

I would avoid unmovable items unless they were absolutely plot essential, and even then, I would keep it to one or two. If you want to fill up her inventory with *movable* custom items, usable only by her, that would be your choice, and I don't think anyone could complain, since they can just go ahead and equip something else if they don't like what she has.

I 100% agree. I HATE more than one, or two at the very most, unremovable items. That is one reason I ditched Kindrek early on. All that unremovable stuff irritated me too much.

As Kulyok hinted, those are your three apprentices, for the mage stronghold

Yes, they are, and we are well into SOA on this mod by now (I'm helping with writing) and we hope to make the player want to take all 3 along as they all have stories, quests, and personalities.  

As for the new evil female, I don't really care what she is as long as she has a good story and the mod will actually be completed.   A cleric would be nice, imho, or a monk.  But I would play her regardless of class if you make her!

i guess i would like to see a barbarian. actually what i want to see most is not a class but a race. why are there no half-orc NPCs?

I think Ariena is a half-orc. She's at the Mod for the Wicked here at SHS. But maybe she's an orc, I don't recall for sure.

Let me say, firstly, welcome to SHS! I have been lurking on the progress of these guys for quite some time. I am really excited about them and look forward eagerly to any progress. Plus, I LOVE the portraits.

Tashia will be released later this week????  Yay!!!!        

Heh... it's posts like these that put a smile on even the grimmest modder's face. The good news is, is that development is really shortening up... I've got a last batch of tests to run, and some final code cleanup to do, and then we're ready for launch. The bad news is, is that my vacation is turning out a bit busier than expected, and it could be another week before I can fully focus on finishing Tashia.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words , I hope you'll enjoy the updated version when it is finally released.

Well, enjoy what vacation you have left, all right?  We'll be right here waiting to pounce upon Tashia as soon as she's up.  

Went through my files, and it turns out that I certainly did write a comment for Volo, back when I wrote the main romance. Not sure why it's not showing up - does it appear for anybody at all?

No, Laufey, it has never showed up for me. Now I want it I want it I want it!!!!!

I know, I keep checking here all the time. I can't wait for Valen! And I agree that the one thing I dearly miss with the current Valen is that she has no banters with other npcs. I hope also that there will be some cross-mod material, but that is a minor concern for now. But as I see it, there are many great npc mods and cross-mod would definately be a plus.
A romance for Valen will be great. I just cannot imagine that such a thing would be impossible! (Yes, I read Anne Rice).
I, for one, will definately be here when she's ready.

Very sorry if I'm being impatient.. but I had to ask.

Are there going to be future versions of the flirt pack that add content?

The more flirting, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

I agree! I think that Laufey once said that she would be adding more, especially some Edwina specific ones. We haven't heard from her lately, tho, have we?
And a few differnt responses would be welcome if she has the time.

I LOVE him! But, imho the portrait is indeed too dark. I don't mean him, I mean he and the background are too similar in shade. I'm no artist so I don't know if "shade" is the right word to use here.

And your elf above is lovely! She looks fun and a bit devilish.

Will this mean you can get bounty hunters after you in the wild or in cities? I have only been attacked by paladins on righteous vengeance intentions, so I don't know if that already exists.

I have to ask - about the paladins do you mean that you have wiped out the Radiant Heart and had others attack you later? I always wipe them out and never have a problem. Or is that because I have Anomen in my party and only kill them after his failed test? I'd LOVE to have attacks later...

Yep, Deathsangel, good question asked before about whether you can install components individually. Is that the plan? Tho I'll probably just take them all!

Aww... I found ze cutest in-game dialogue! Edwin speaks to a boy in Athkatla. The dialogue has to be one of the sweetest in the game, and definetly one of my new favourite moments. <3

Lets just say it ends with the boy hugging his new 'hero'. As far as I can tell, it is a completely unmodded dialogue.

I may need you to PM me about that one!  I've never seen it and I'm quite curious...

Thanks again for all your work and the flirts. They made my newest game with Eddie more complete. I enjoyed, in particular, the Lust Chamber flirts and the lice flirts. But I also like to be able to kiss and hug him and adore when he looks so deeply into my eyes in regards to my query of what cannot be bought in Thay. I wonder if there are different ones for TOB? Hmmm...have to get there soon and see!

xD I didn't play the whole Xan mod through, though I intend too once I have finished a new run-through with Eddie, yush. I just got tired of all the dialogues that basically went:

Xan: Oh CHARNAME...
Charname: Oh Xan...
Xan: Oh CHARNAME...
Charname: Oh Xan...

I hear ya. After a while I killed him myself and kept his Moonblade as a souvinir. Eddie carried it along with our other souvinirs!

You get the idea. But anyway! To steer this back on topic. ER makes my soul go squee inside... and I also eagerly await Edwina flirts. ^^

I'm not a teen, nor have I been for many years. But I have to know, what does "squee" mean? Does it mean, sort of, that you go all mushy inside?

And about Eddie being a father...I love the idea that he would also be very protective of Charname. I've no doubt he would suddenly be the best bodyguard in the Faerun!

I used to belive squee means something like... glee. >.> kinda.

Hee! Thanks! Okay, the flirts make me all "squee" inside, too! Gotta love Eddie even more now.

*bows* Awww, you're making me blush. But yes, one of the main things I tried to do with Edwin was to keep the romance somewhat lighthearted despite it having serious moments too, and to make sure that you could argue with him without him ending the romance in a hissyfit.
[/quote]

Yeah, this is one of my fave things about Eddie.
I can't help but wish I could code and thus have my own flirts to yours, such as - run your fingers thru Eddie's hair and whisper into his ear "Eddie, you can kill Xan now."
Okay, okay, no offense to Xan. He just sets my teeth on edge even when he's just a comrade.

I'm eagerly awaiting the Edwina flirts, too! I'm just glad to have my other flirts now, tho, instead of later. Thanks again for releasing them.

Thanks so much, Ilmatar! It is lovely! Eddie is, as usual, positively yummy!

Not sure if I should break the news to you, Minarvia, but the slumber party dialog is neither Bioware nor ER. It's Banter Pack. But yeah, it's still brilliant.

Thanks!  It doesn't matter to me where it's from.  I was sure it was Laufey because of how it reminds me of one of Dekkies remarks to Eddie later about spying on the pc.  Ah, well, Laufey or Dorotea can delete this post, then!

For the first time I had the "slumber party" dialog between Edwina and Immy.  I'd never seen it before because I never got Immy back so early into ER.  Thanks, Laufey!  This was funny!     Of course I'm assuming that it was due to ER and not Bioware.  Now that I think of it, maybe it was Bioware?  Don't know.  
Only I think that Edwina should have said "feminine wiles" instead of "feminine whiles" either way. Hmmm...this banter makes me wonder what other gems I've missed due to timing or party members...especially for the ER writing.

Sorry but it's been some months now - is his sense of direction bad enough for his being lost to continue?

I've wondered the same thing!

I've been playing Chloe for the first time, and I actually really like her. She is pretty unique, really. I think you did a great job with her, especially since BG2 modding was relatively new when she was made.

As for your thoughts, I do think they are great ideas. It's nice to know that you have been thinking about these things. As for being busy, that is perfectly understandable. Everybody has a life away from the computer that is demanding of attention and time. But if you ever did have the time/motivation to finish Chloe or pursue other mod ideas, I would certainly be interested. Good luck with whatever comes your way.

I agree totally. I really enjoyed Chloe and am very sorry that her story was never finished. I had hoped the Chloe/pc romance would be finished someday, but, oh well. Things happen. Your life definately comes first. If you ever do more work I'll also be here to enjoy it. Good luck!
