My husband and I have re-installed our copy of BGII (for playing sake, and for the fact that I couldn't run any of my own coding for my mod >.<) We already have:
-Banter packs
-Flirt packs
-Unfinished Business
-Solaufein (because Noccy would kill us if we didn't, seriously)
-Longer Road/Redemption

We've already played Chloe and Saerileth (though I probably will replay little miss Saeri). I refuse to play Tsujatha unless there is a different portrait I can use (I'm sorry, to me he looks like he's going "Uhhhhhh..." in his portrait, sorry Choo Choo and whomever did his portrait).

Any other mods you can suggest to me? I am considering Ascension, though I've never played all the way with an evil character, and in the EVIL CHIPMUNK case, who is fun in an evil relationship?

Edwin romance is good, if you're looking for an evil romance (though Edwin, like Viconia, really fails to come off as *evil* in the romance). Xan over at G3 is highly recommended, ditto Fade here at SHS (granted, no ToB content yet). I also use the TweakPack and Tactics mods, but those are a matter of personal taste. Imoen romance is also very well done-it has a very different feel to it than most mod romances, as you might expect (the Imoen Romance isn't at any of the usual community sites, though-www.imoen.org).

TRUST ME, we know about ImRom. That's how we met, fell in love, and got engaged :)

We were considering Xan and Fade, and we have the Edwin Romance downloaded. We'll have to check out the Fey'ri lass and the doomed elf :)

FADE! :wub: :hug: Oh yes definetly go for her ^_^
Sorry, guess I've got something for wild tiefling thieves *snicker*

Anyways if you're also looking for something in-depth with another Tiefling, try the Amber mod.
Or something cheeky at times and plays alot of nastiness if she's in the same party as Ano, try the sassy Chloe mod, unlike Fade she swings the other way, y'know. :)

Oh and I'll say for CC that she'd definetly vouch for Xan, her crazy elf fangirl side never lets me forget.
And once
Spoiler
... is ready, I'm sure that'd be something to look foward too ^_^

Edit: Thanks Tempest
Oh and idiot me, forgot a few more smilies :)

Wow, I bet the authors of Imoen Romance did not foresee such impact:D

Kivan and Deheriana over G3 might interest you, too. Or Romantic Encounters, which has been released just recently. Maybe D0QuestPack at pocketplane, Tower of Deception at blackwyrmlair.

Well, yeah. Xan. Of course.

I'd also recommend trying out Amber. A well-developed character with THE MOST AMAZING INTRODUCTION I'VE EVER SEEN.

Ahem.

G3 Anniversary Mod adds a fun quest to the game. It is not entirely serious, but it's still a lot of fun.

(wracks brain trying to come up with mods not already mentioned, fails, leaves it at that)

If you're interested in romances, Amber's romance and friendship are lovely. On a non-romance side, Auren has a nice amount of friendly chats with Charname.

I like Oversight, particularly for the cleric kit changes and the altered spells component, and the G3 Tweak Pack has various goodies like druids using the cleric spell progression table and an increased chance of seeing NPC interjections.

edit: Beyond the Law also adds lots of quest content and interesting interactions.

But other than mine, that Valen mod is just f**king awesome! I wish I had the idea to make a mod involving a vamp.

Alora is good.

Keto kicks ass. Being a bard gives it a high rating with me.

Tactics I think it was called, was good also, if you are looking for a non-npc mod. Check the Bodies is ok now. It was a poor mod when it was first released, with the newer version it seems to be more stable. Lots of quests and places to explore which is one of my favorite things in a mod. It adds replay value to the game.

OMFG! I forgot one, Chloe. Chloe just rules and I mean rules. If you like a butt kicking gal full of attitude, she's the one.

@ Gort: I think it wasn't much of a surprise for Lord Mirrabbo. As I understand it, the mod is how he met HIS wife, too :D

Okay, so I've got a few votes for Amber (she sounds fun!), and Fade sounds awesome as hell. I know I'll have to play Xan and Auren, lest some of my dear friends on here murder me for not doing so ;)

I was looking at Romantic Encounters, actually, and it sounded quite amusing. Kivan will probably wait, but that'll be okay, because I've already got too many mod characters in my party, lol.

Chloe... I'm sorry, but I really did not like her. I didn't mind that she's an air genasi, what I did mind was that she seemed a wee bit overpowered for you to get her IMMEDIATELY. I also had issue with her voice pack (the levels need to be tweaked because she comes out too loud, like she's yelling all the time... and that's when the voice pack actually WORKS. I had to reload her three times to get her to actually voice her intro lines in Irenicus' Dungeon). The one thing that bothered me the most was really stupid and I know it's nitpicky, but I am a cleric at heart, and I've pretty much memorized Faiths and Pantheons.
THE NAME OF THE GOD OF AIR IS AKADI, NOT AKADIA.

Hahaha... rant, sorry >.<

So right now the list is:
-Solaufein
-Kelsey (who is getting booted for Xan, looks like)
-Amber
-Fade
-Auren

I'm playing as an elven swashbuckler female, so I need a cleric (using Ano for that) and mage (replacing Kelsey with Xan) The rest will be fun! Thanks everyone!

Keep suggesting mods to me, because I'll be playing with different parties :)

Might I suggest Keto as well (bard)? Her dialogue is well-written and she is a pleasantly down-to-earth and grounded NPC, which makes a pleasant change from some of the more way-out-there (but still good!) NPCs out there.

If you have gone through the megamods and the technical and tweaks mod hassle already, and know almost what you want, I really can't give you a good advice. But don't let them intimitade you, there is always something they can fix for yo!

I would also suggest waiting for the next version of Crossmod to come out; it shouldn't be too long, and it has *lots* of crossmod NPC banter for the NPCs you have there. I can send you a beta copy if you would like which has everything minus interjections. :)

Meh, and
Spoiler
. :P :D

As for clerics, there aren't as many NPCs around, mainly due to that whole overload of cleric types Bioware insisted on methinks. ;)
Can't say I know any aside from what has been listed, and I know quite a few are still only in the works of theory...
Sorry :(

If you're looking for mages try Tashia, she's good for a sorcress, even though she is limited.
And about your little correction of Akadi, you might want to email that correction to Lucy, I'm sure she'll appreciate it. ^_^

Ah what the hell: "We're all doomed!" :lol:
Sorry, couldn't help myself :D

If you're looking for a BG1 cleric, there's Finch, an adorable gnomish cleric, and Gavin, a romanceable human cleric of Lathander. AFAIK, Finch is only available for Tutu. Gavin's going to be coming out with a new version in a couple weeks, which will be compatible with either Tutu or BGT. The current version is just Tutu.

And of course, there's BG2 Gavin, but he's still a long, long ways away.

Okay, now I understand why I'm not married. It's because I haven't find the girl of my dream. And why haven't I found her? BECAUSE I HAVEN'T WRITTEN DAMN GREAT MOD YET!!! Back to work! No time to chit-chat!
