Mod interactions? well, if you want to make the modding comunity happy, I figure we all should strive to have interactions. In my mod (Juna) this is simple (Most others just hate the PC and leave... a couple bioware will attack (Keldorn, mazzy, Non-CN anomon). I do not know about sola, of course, that is up to weimer, but kelsey, chloe, tashia, etc will just leave (I plan to make an appropreate statemenat at the time, of course). however, you will not have that luzury. do you intend to have romancing edwin interact with other MOD NPC's?

I will need to discuss it with the other team members of course, but I think we will probably first concentrate on getting the basic romance track to be as good as we can possibly get it. Then it is entirely possible that we will add in interactions with other Mod NPC:s in a later release, should enough people request it. In the meantime, there'll be plenty of jealous spats with Anomen, as well as new interactions with a couple of the other official NPC:s.

The Forgotten Wars' Banter Packs project is going to "add new NPC banters and interjections to SOA and TOB, for both the Bioware gang and your mod NPC favorites."

Ahem. I am sorry but we are talking different interactions here. If the player has say Soulafein or Kelsey romance going of course adding Edwin romance to the mix will cause 2 romances to go in parallel if there is no safewards. This has to be taken care of and we are planning this.

As fo npc banter pack - I had to see the banters first to consider adding them to my game. I like my Bio characters the way they were written. It is very hard to stay in character, especially if you are adding the whole bunch of new dialogs to many different npcs. And it can cause problems with other mods as well, if whatever they will be saying will not correlate with this mod storyline.

Writing for a single character is hard enough...

I was simply to replying to the part of DarkPhantom's post which I quoted, I wasn't replying to the thread as a whole.

any idea when this will be released?

any idea when this will be released?

Well, the writing part is done, as is much of the desigh phase. (There may be some voiceacting still to be done, Dorotea would know that better.) What remains is programming, which has been started but will take a while to finish. I can't say any specific date, but not within the next few months most likely. However, once we get closer, we'll make sure to offer a tentative release date.

thanks cant wait

This is a wonderful concept .

Yay Edwin! He's so hilarious XD.

I'm actually working on an NPC who has several extended banters with Edwin (and Edwina ^^) and I'd love to work in some compatability with Edwin in a later version. It could be nothing but entertaining XD.

The NPC is a chaotic neutral Invoker named Raist-ko whom you recruit in the Planar Abyss. For an example of Edwin/Raist-ko banter, check below ^^.

------

Edwin: You know, Pink One, I have to admire you (although not on your own merits, certainly).

Raist-ko: And why is that, /Red One/?

Edwin: Because you seem to have even fewer interpersonal skills than I do (and even I have to admit that that is quite an accomplishment).

Raist-ko: I think you may be mistaking lack of interpersonal skills with my confirmed superiority.

Edwin: Then you are a creature of sympathies similar to my own (although you are not exempt from my own confirmed superiority).

Raist-ko: You know, I can hear you.

Edwin: . . .What are you talking about? (I have no idea. What is she talking about? Perhaps she can read minds).

Raist-ko: We might as well come to an agreement on our own mutual superiority. If we don't we'll, simply waste a lot of effort muttering contemptuosly about each other -- energy that would be much more efficiently spent muttering contemptuously about everyone else.

Edwin: This does not seem like such a bad idea. We assume that everone else is a complete imbecile and exempt only ourselves. I believe I can agree to that (to stop your own muttering at least and turn you to my own cause. I will always be confirmed in my own superiority of course. You are nothing but a slightly more well-spoken animal).


Raist-ko: (. . . Why do I even bother?)

--------------

Raist-ko's comments on any sort of romance with the PC would be amusing (if only to myself XD) so I will make a note to watch this forum and leave Raist-ko open for other interactions in future versions of her vile pink self

Thank you for your kind words! Edwin is indeed lovely, an I hope you'll enjoy the romance banters I've written for him. They're all done by the way, we're in the programming phase now. Your NPC sounds intriguing, and compatibility with the romance sounds like a fun concept!

[Seifer]

SO long as the womanising part is retained and the fact that he is self conceited and arrogant, this coupled with his imperious talent should make this a mod to remember.

I await it with interest...!

[Kismet]

I belive Laufey has mentioned that Edwin won't keep up his philandering ways if romancing the PC. Which, as far as I'm concerned, is a good thing. My PC would have hated to have had to smack him for checking out other women while he's her boyfriend, but she would have done it.

Yes, that's quite correct. Still *plenty* of arrogance and boasting though.

[Silverdragon_yunami]

Firstly, I just want to reaffirm that I love Edwin eith all my heart, and that I am eagerly awaiting the completion of this mod.

Secondly, in a post that is as completely off-topic as you can get, does anyone know what the deal is with that guy in SoA that comes up to you as you enters the docks and throws a sword at you? Was that like, a BioWare in-joke, or something? It's really funny, I wish there was a story behind him.

I could be wrong about this, but I have a vague memory of there being a contest before SoA, where you were to invent an NPC, and the winner would get that NPC incorporated into the game. I seem to remember that this guy, Habib, was the winning NPC.

[Silverdragon_yunami]

Wow...Ok...But who in the hell came up with Habib? ...That's a rhetorical question, as I'm sure nobody knows.

That, I'm afraid I don't know. But I'm sure there's somebody out there who does. If nobody around here does, you might possibly find out through the Bioware message board.

[reiella]

Habib was one of the winning NPCs.

The contest was pretty much just sending in neat character concepts.

Said concept is also the reason we have Wild Magic now (Sorta Kinda).

As the psycho Githyanki Wild Mage was another of the said NPCs.

I forget the third one however...

[ Edit ]
Clarification: Those npcs were by different people however I do recall that hehe. The original plan for the contest was just one NPC. However, they liked all three of them and put them all in .
