I have just started the BG2 Mega mod portion of the game, and I have a question concerning all the new mods and the NPCs. Having just left Irenicus's dungeon i've already picked up Drizzt, Wulfgar, Kachiko, Yoshimo, Jaheira, sorry Minsc had to go for now . With this said, i'm not sure I can replaced any of these characters without missing out on a Mod, or if I can pick them up later to continue a quest. The main thing is i'm going to try to do as many quests as possible, and if anyone has a...walkthrough...a series of steps without giving away major info I would appreciate it . PS included my weiDU log.

[Chevalier]

The Mega Mod does not let you play all the mods at once, but lets you have the biggest choice which you wish to play. Dump Kachiko and Yoshimo untill getting ready to go spellhold, I say.

[Vlad]

Chev, it depends whether the player wants to save Yoshimo or not. Neglecting Yoshimo-Kachiko romance in Chapter 2 and 3 would result in not updating a variable, which is responsible for the chain of variables/events related to Yoshimo and Kachiko. The results can be unpredictable. The bottom line is that the mod was made for those who are interested in these two NPCs. If the player is not interested in them then it's worthwhile to drop them off once and for good. Once the player casts them off in Chapter 2 and 3 for a long time and then join before leaving for the Island, the problems begin. There are about 6-8 LTs between them, which are supposed to take place in Chapter 2 and 3 before moving to the Island.

Good luck!

[Zo'Garth]

Thank you for the response, I think i'll keep them . Any others that I "have to" keep

[maximus2001]

I would agree with Vlad. In a few games I left K and Y in the Sea's Bounty, and picked them up right before leaving for Spellhold. As a result the TS story with their romance didn't make too much sense. They were ready to die for each other right away which made me think I missed something. Now I know I did thanks to Vlad's post and so this time will take more time with those two for things to develop.

Just a suggestion, play with the characters from one mod through its main story without to much mixing and matching of different quests and npcs or you will get bored, confused, or both. Finish one, then drop characters, and on to the next. It will make more sense storywise and logically.

What I did was:
1)pick up Wulfgar (not much choice - need for Drizzt to join) and went through NEJ.
2)Left Wulf and Minsc there (in Easthaven) to join 3 NEJ npcs.
3)Finish NEJ pt1, came back with 5 npcs. Had to clua back to get Wulf (or you could just leave him in dungeon 1st time)
4)Pick up Yoshi, drop 1 npc for the moment.
5)Go to get Drizzt, after he joins drop Wulf and one other npc.(telling them to wait right there)
6)Have Kachiko join, then drop her and yoshi (to be picked up later in bar). You should go and pick up two of the three you just left behind and have party of six again to leave with.(Again I clua'd back for Wulf)
7)In this case you have to clua to get Minsc back (in Easthaven)

Not that it made a lot of sense, but I was able to keep the npcs around to start their main quests later.

[maximus2001]

Ha, I just reread your post and saw no NEJ installed. Basically then leave with PC, Drizzt, Imoen definitely plus three of your choice. If you send Y and K to tavern temporarily you have room for all.

[Zo'Garth]

I thought NEJ was incompatiable with the mods installed? If its not I may go back and re-install, since I really haven't gone beyond the circus quest. Thanks

[maximus2001]

Well I still have my install from last summer because I dreaded a 10 hour reinstall. Most of my mods are the same as yours except some smaller ones like BGfixes. However you have BGT which might need to install another BGT-NEJ patch to work right - check Erebusant's directions before you install it. It's quite well done and worth trying if you never did before. By the way here is mine:

NeJ2v42b.exe with the NeJ2v602.exe patch is compatiable with the Mega Mod. Without very carefull (you really need know what you are doing) use of CLUAConsole you can't play all big mods at once. You need to have too many NPCs in your group.

Edited by Chevalier, 27 April 2007 - 03:09 PM.

[Zo'Garth]

Well, I guess i'll install NEJ, thanks for the directions i'll reference your weiDU log for help. By the way, is baldurdash ok to use? I though there was some problem with compatability with it? As far as the Mega Mods, I guess i'll just have to wing it, hopefully I can complete most of them . So, I guess more isn't necessarly better, unless you know when to have a NPC to start or complete a quest. I hate to read to much into a mod, but I may need to in order to know what or who to look for. once again thank you.

[Chevalier]

Don't use Baldurdash with the BG2fixpack.

I think maximus2001 is missing this from the start of his Weidu.log

I know with RoTerror, you only NEED to have Drizzt in your group at the beginning. As you get the rest of his party you can refuse to let them join and they'll all head to the Copper Coronet and wait for you. Right where you find Joluv, as a matter of fact. It gets pretty crowded in that little section of the Coronet .

[maximus2001]

Thanks Chev. It's my install from last summer. I have no idea why NEJ doesn't show up in the weidu log but its there. I noticed this when other people posted their logs. Maybe something went wrong when I ran the biffer? It still ran ok though (with the exception of Ulcaster not showing up on worldmap, I just went there when Hrothgar wanted to)

I think I have the two BD patches in there too. For the most part its a stable install. Once in a while there is a messed up string or dialogue. My main problem is "unreachable areas" from TDD which I got past with judicial use of clua console.

Do you know if someone is working on making the new NEJ (6.7?) compatible with a mega install? I see Vlad has added a lot of content to it.

[Azazello]

I've set a challenge for myself to play thru all the NPCs in a MegaInstall.

-- I keep the party packed at 6 peeps, as much as possible.
-- I keep them at least until their quests, if any, are completed.
-- NPC-related quests are often time-connected, so I do other non-NPC-related adventures (and a lot of useless travel) while waiting.

This is how far I've gotten:

In:

Main Character
Imoen
Jaheira
Minsc or Wulfgar-RoT {send the other to Copper Coronet}
Yoshimo

========================================
Out:

Yoshimo {send Yoshimo and Kachiko-TS to Sea Bounty Tavern}

In:

Drizzt-RoT

========================================
Out:

Imoen

In:

Melora-NeJ

========================================
In:

Jan

========================================
Out:

Jan

In:

Xzar-TDD

========================================
Out:

Melora-NeJ

In:

Montaron-TDD

========================================
Out:

Xzar-TDD
Montaron-TDD

In:

Yoshimo
Kachiko-TS

========================================
Out:

Wulfgar-RoT {goes to Copper Coronet}

In:

Cernd

========================================
Out:

Cernd

In:

Edwin

========================================
Out:

Jaheira {when she goes to Harper Hold}

In:

Korgan

========================================
Out:

Korgan

In:

Mazzy

========================================
Out:

Mazzy

In:

Sime-TS {finish kicking Bodhi's butt; pick up Sime from Aran's place}

========================================
Out:

Edwin

In:

Kelsey
{go do RoT early quests: Arlax, Westchar, Gragha. Regis and Bruenor will be sent to Copper Coronet}

========================================

So going to Brynnlaw, I have this party:
========================================
Main Character
Drizzt
Yoshimo
Kachiko
Sime
Kelsey
========================================

[maximus2001]

Hey Azazello. Did you skip Nej quests? I pretty much did the same order as you after finishing Nej, except Xzar would up and quit the group about a day after joining even though rep was only 16. Got npcs, did quests, drop, on to next one. Same as you with ROT-Arlax,Westchar,etc. getting the band back together!

Then will reform and pick up Yoshi, Kachiko, Viconia(to romance) and Valygar/Mazzy (to drop when Imoen shows up) along with PC and Drizzt. Finish some TDD and ROT content and small quests to get Y and K to romance, on to Brynnlaw.

This time I actually joined with Bohdi (first time ever) just to get Leina. Then she upped and left to go see Sam Thunderburp before I could romance her. Something about checking in with him - but he wasn't even there!

Last game I tried Sime, but couldn't get her soundset working correctly and after underdark started a new game. Same person did voicing for Leina btw, though Kachiko's soundset is better. Melora is quite good too, but no romance.

I've also done a lot of useless travel, and side quests to diddle until timers went off and quests and romances kicked in.

[Azazello]

Hey Azazello. Did you skip Nej quests?

Er, um, no, I didn't. I'm playing them later. "No more questions."

Once my current game is finished, I'm pretty much in retirement mode for BG. I will kickup one more MegaInstall, first time playing an evil character, will speed-game thru the BG1 portion, and play the BG2 part very slowly and casually. Barring another big mod like RoT, I won't be playing much anymore. Much. Still, won't be finished until year's end or later.

Edited by Azazello, 28 April 2007 - 08:10 PM.

[Vlad]

Same person did voicing for Leina btw

No, all girls have different voices.

[maximus2001]

Hi Vlad. I've gone back to see if Thunderburp is there a few times, but he is not. Neither is Leina. It has been about three weeks since he said "leave town for a while till I sort things out". After two weeks I went back to Bridge district and Leina said she wanted to see him (he wasn't there) and after a day or so she left party to go to him. Will they reappear?

I was enjoying her character (well done as usual - voicing, background, equipment, banters, etc.) and starting to romance her, till she left me. Do I wait for her, or is something wrong?

[Vlad]

Reload your saved game after Leina asked you to go and see Samuel. Otherwise, you'll lose Leina. If he is not in the tavern, then he is the City Hall. If he is not there then you should update your game to the latest version, which is not playable with the mega combination.
