Beyond the Law

This mod introduces two joinable NPCs, Kova and Kiyone, to your game.

  • Kova is a Chaotic Good Half-Elf mage/thief with an unsavoury background and good heart (or so he claims).
  • Kiyone is a Lawful Good Half-Elf female, law-enforcing, impartial (or so she claims) archer.


They will only show up if:

  • - Your character is of either good or neutral alignment.
  • - Your character's reputation rises above 12, and you are still in Chapter 2.



Beyond the Law looks into proving one man's innocence against the odds, and highlights the unlikely yet strong bond formed between the two people, so different yet so much alike.
BtL also examines many of our concepts of good & evil, right & wrong, justice & forgiveness, courage & despair, means & ends, and most importantly, perhaps, what it means to really live, and to find a purpose in that, amidst this journey of self-discovery between these two NPCs.
