I just thought I'd post a few teaser screenshots from the "Alpha Chrysta" I produced with the purpose of allowing the mod team to play around with a raw version of Chrysta and her custom kit.

I am relaxed about posting these as there is nothing really spoilery here. All the dialog shown has already been posted in the "Chrysta's joining dialog" example thread, and there is nothing here that you wouldn't be able to find out right at the start of the game just by checking her character screens.

Oh, and the portraits shown here are only placeholders... there will be custom made portraits in the real mod. The mod release version will also almost certainly differ from this "Alpha Chrysta" in a few other ways as well.

Still, having said all that... at least this should show that we are making some progress :thumb:

Heh... it seems like she isn't so sure herself!

Hmm... she seems useful enough, if not exactly superhuman...

Posted Image

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

...but she does like showing off her starting abilities!

She isn't exactly overflowing with useful stuff, though...

...but I haven't seen armour like that before.

Looks nice, Sir K. The powergamer in me notices the first NPC like ever with worse HP then Aerie. He also wonders how her druidic thief kit will work out. The rest of me is wondering about the dialogues... Exactly what teaser schreenshots should do: I'm fascinated.

It is rare that I bow to popular opinion, but the consensus of opinion in response to my "Acceptable levels of spoilerage" poll seems to be that the majority of people like to have the occasional tidbit of spoilerage to keep them interested.

With that in mind, I have decided to relax my anti-spoiler policy and release ONE in-game screenie/spoiler per month during development - just don't expect any plot spoilers in advance!

This is a composite shot showing one of Chrysta's early banters with Minsc (as with the above screenshot, the portrait used in this is not the one to be included with the final mod):

Just noticed a 54 lore on her. May I ask why? I thought she uses thief and druid things. I don't see how that lore can be so high. Thiefs get +3 and druids +1

Still modding the Mod for the Wicked... It is a big project you know... And I got sidetracked (several times) a bit... sorry.

You certainly may ask why. You won't get an answer until the mod is released, though... ;)

Then I am a dumy :( I don't know where Chrysta would get information about folklore and stuff alike. Oh well, guess some of us have to wait.

Looks nice, a couple of comments though-

captalising Abominaiton in her join dialogue looks odd

I think the adjective is "Rashemi" or "of Rasheman", not just "Rasheman"

The adjective is Rashemen, IIRC.

That sounds odd...you'd think it would be Rashemani or something...or maybe that's just the editor in the back-right corner of my head. :huh:

As the winner of the latest Spoiler request poll, here is a non-plot-spoilery early game Edwin-Chrysta banter screenie:

The following Chrysta-Haer'Dalis banter has already been released in text form, but for completeness sake and to keep all the spoilers in the same place I thought it a good idea to reproduce it here in screenshot format:
