Wings for BG2:EE

 

My big ambition has always been to expand Aerie's character and give her a fun and exciting personal quest that shows her actually growing as a hero, explorer and adventurer.

 

It's been worked on and off for a little while, mostly just experimenting with some different ideas.  The latest version I released has actually been stripped down a bit and I'll add the quest elements when at least the first draft of them is actually complete.

 

So right now, she has new banters with most the other NPC's (none with Dorn or Jan right now, but I've had some ideas).  I also fixed a few banters with Minsc, Jan and Yoshimo that were in her banter file already but lacked any trigger conditions.

 

She has a friendship path with female PC's (also male PC's who end the romance with her can continue being her friend if they want).

 

There are a few new npc's she interacts with, and a special encounter that can result in Aerie acquiring her own familiar.

 

Right now I'm focusing on finishing up and maybe adding to the NPC banter and non quest related stuff.

 

But still to come...

 

Obviously, Aerie is Minsc's new witch, so I want to add more interaction between them. Possibly in the form of a mini-quest.

 

And, a main personal quest for Aerie that see's her combating the same slavers who kidnapped and broke her years ago.

Here are more screens so far...

 

This is one of the fixed banters I mentioned:

A couple new banters between Aerie and Neera (apostrophes went missing, but don't worry - I already corrected that):

I'm populating the circus with a few new characters:

I'll post this on other forums a well, but unfortunately I don't know if I'll ever get to finish this mod.  I'm busy on so much other stuff and working on my own original fiction as well, which is making so much happier than I've ever felt in years so I don't know that'll I'll ever have time to get back to this (and to be honest, I've almost completely forgotten everything about writing mods for this game, and never did figure out how to script fights anyway...)

 

As it is, this mod adds quite a bit of dialogue for Aerie, as well as her familiar, so it just means I won't get to make up any major quest for her along the lines of Neera's etc in BG2:EE.

 

But, if you would like to contact me to ask any questions or whatnot, it's best either to contact me via Tumblr, as I just happen to be on there more often than any other site, or you can if you want cut out middle men entirely and just e-mail me: jc@coutelier.org.uk
