Day 8 of 12: Haer'Dalis Romance ToB released!

For Day 8 of 12 we have a rather excitedly awaited release, the Throne of Bhaal portion of Aeryn's Haer'Dalis romance!

"Love is passion. Passion is fleeting. And such ephemeral things are those we hold the closest and cherish the most. Each moment is precious, for it may very well be the last. 'Tis not to be feared, my raven, for such fading beauty is the fate of all life, of all things, of all hopes. Neither fret for tomorrow, nor regret yesterday, but live for today."

The Haer'Dalis Romance for Baldur's Gate II allows female PCs to explore a deeper relationship with our dear sparrow. Though the tielfing bard has roamed the Planes and basked in the dark beauty of Sigil's street for decades, his experience with the Prime is limited, and his curiosity about both this new world and his new leader is great indeed. PCs are given the freedom to choose just how close they wish to get to this mysterious Planeswalker, though Haer'Dalis may find hesitant PCs all the more alluring for their reluctance. Regardless of what exactly the PC is looking for, there is a fair chance this skilled actor can fill whatever role she desires.

The mod is open to females of any race, alignment and class, and features a large number of talks on a wide range of topics. Though he is neither foolish nor cruel, Haer'Dalis loves mischief, dramatic public displays and arguments, and the mod reflects this by often providing more content to PCs who do not always agree with the bard. Content spans both SoA and ToB, and have a variety of paths and epilogues.

I feel like crying. I was having the worst day today. Worked for about 12 hours with no break, was tasked with finishing the additional work that was left incomplete by my coworkers, left almost in tears after a particularly nasty encounter with a rude customer, and all while operating under three hours of sleep. I then came home to find my dog had chewed up my favorite jeans and vomited all over the house.

All of that seems trivial now that I have Haer Dalis to look forward to. Thank you guys so much for this. I mean, obviously it wasn't just for me. But thanks all the same. Your hard work is much appreciated.

This is the best day ever!

Seriously, words can not express how much I love this mod. I am so excited that it's finished, I almost want to start a new game despite having no time for it.

Yeeees! Edited the modlist listing. Congrats, Aeryn - I keep thinking how lucky we are that you joined the scene. And many thanks to the diligent coder, K'aeloree, naturally.
