First of, I apologize for..uh... necroposting, is it called?... earlier.

Second, does anyone know if the mod "Cassandra" was ever finished?
It was supposed to allow the party to 'adopt' the escaping clone of Ellisime instead of killing her.

I always thought it was bloody unfair I had to kill the poor girl, and several times I even pretended I didn't notice the door to the cloning room, and left the dungeon without killing her. So a mod that would allow me not only save her but also shape her character and abilities would make me a very happy player indeed. Problem is, the last mention of it I could find was in a forum at Chosen of Mystra; from the sound of it the works on the mod were pretty advanced, but the last post there is from year 2006.
Does anyone know if it was abandoned (hope not!) or was it finished, and if so, where I can find it?
Thank you.

No need.

Near as I can tell, no. Have you tried contacting the mod authors from the post on CoM?

You could do so yourself, you know. Either offer to "resurrect" the mod (see the "mod resurrections" forum on SHS for more detail), create a new NPC mod (with a different name?), or make a smaller mod that would allow you to talk her down from the confrontation and escape without joining her party, which would at least prevent the whole having-to-kill-her thing (and would be pretty trivial to accomplish).

"Tyranny is a quiet thing at first, a prim and proper lady pursing her lips and shaking her head disapprovingly, asking, well what were you doing (wearing that dress, walking home at that hour, expressing those inappropriate thoughts) anyway? It's subtle and insidious, disguised as reasonable precautions which become more and more oppressive over time, until our lives are defined by the things we must avoid. She's easy enough to agree with, after all, she's only trying to help -- and yet she's one of the most dangerous influences we face, because if she prevails, it puts the raping, robbing, axe-wielding madmen of the world in complete control. Eventually they'll barely need to wield a thing, all they'll have to do is leer menacingly and we fall all over ourselves trying to placate them." -godlizard

Either way, this deals with an existing (if unfinished) mod, not an idea for a new one, so it doesn't belong in Mod Ideas.
