Introduction

This mod adds Isra, a cavalier paladin of Sune, to Baldur's Gate 2. A follower of the goddess of love, beauty, and passion, Isra is amiable, optimistic, and courteous almost to a fault. If you met her in Nashkel, you may either continue from where you left off or start anew as strangers. She is playable through to the end of Throne of Bhaal.

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

Throne of Bhaal must be installed to play Isra.

Details

Isra is a twenty-one year old paladin with the Sisters and Brothers of the Ruby Rose, an order devoted to Sune Firehair. She has far more experience with (and sympathy for) the chaotic good churches of Sune and Lliira than any of the lawful churches, so her outlook and personality are somewhat removed from what you might expect from a paladin.

Isra can be found in the Den of the Seven Vales in Waukeen's Promenade, where she is looking into some family concerns. She will not immediately join the party, though you will have the chance to establish whether or not you knew her in BG1. There will be significant differences in her early dialogue depending upon which you choose.

Like in BG1, Isra will NOT join the party if the protagonist is of evil alignment. Your reputation has to be 10 or higher to begin a friendship or romance, and 14 or higher to advance it past a certain point. Don't let it drop below 6 if you want to keep her around.

Romance

Requirements

  • Alignment: Isra will only romance good-aligned protagonists.
  • Stat restrictions: Charisma 13 or better.

Notes

  • You must commit to a romance before Chapter 4. Given the nature of the plot of SoA, Isra's priorities will change somewhat after the events in Spellhold, and her early tracked dialogue will no longer be available. This is true for a friendship as well as a romance, but doubly important in a romance. You may use PID to ensure you have not missed anything, however. Once her early tracked dialogue is exhausted, if you ask her what she thinks of the quest, she'll say she's worried about Imoen.

  • The first ToB dialogue triggers upon rest after meeting Melissan. It is otherwise straightforward.

  • Your reputation is important to advance both a friendship and a romance. She will not talk to a PC whose reputation is below 10, and your reputation will need to be at least 14 in order to get her second quest to trigger. If the romance has stalled, keep this in mind.

  • Isra can take a bit of teasing as long as you're reasonably courteous, especially once she has committed to a romance. That said, insulting her faith is always dangerous.

  • If you are continuing from BG1, Isra will commit to a romance very early. She'll test the waters a bit first to make sure you're interested also; if you're not, just tell her. It won't shut down a friendship.

  • Isra is somewhat easygoing about romance. Given her faith, she can get extremely romantic at times, but she's also on the pragmatic side. Don't expect much in the way of proposals or declarations of everlasting love.
