Introduction

One of the things many find sorely lacking in the Bioware NPCs are the more complex relationships presented by modern NPC mods--especially in regards to "friendships," the relationships NPCs have with the PC when not romancing them.

This mod adds a series of dialogues with Valygar.

Visit the website or forum for all the latest updates.

Installation

PC

The Valygar Friendship is a WeiDU mod, packaged in an extractable .RAR / .ZIP archive. Simply unpack the mod package into your Baldur's Gate II directory and run "setup-Valygar.exe".

To uninstall, run "setup-Valygar.exe" again and select the uninstall option.

Compatibility and Installation Order

The Valygar Friendship mod should be compatible with all WeiDU mods, however, we cannot test every single one. It is only compatible with BGII: ToB. If you do encounter an error, please let us know by posting the message at our forums.

Although it is not required for the Valygar Friendship to function properly, it is always a good idea install the latest version of the BG2 Fixpack.

Known Issues

The Valygar Friendship should work fine with Corthala Romantique, but switching between romance and friendship may deactivate some dialogues. We hope to make it work better in the future version of the mod.
