As I quibble about the new HLAs I just thought that I would take a second to single out some components that really have me excited about this mod....

3.: Sword Angel Kit

A noble fighter, with a focus on "spiritual" abilities and HLAs.
If you want to play an extremely good character, and try a new challenge...
*Not* for powergamers!!!


4.: Revised shapeshifting for Druids, especially for Shapeshifters

With this fix the player can finally use shapeshifting as originally intended: they gain all the resistances and immunities of the werewolf forms, but they also lose the capability to cast spells and talk. This solves the "dispellable paws" as well.


5.: SwashImoen

Imoen will become a Swashbuckler/Mage instead of the pure Thief/Mage..

All of these look fantastic to me! I keep toying with the idea of making Imoen a Swashbuckler/Mage in just about every game of BG2 I play ... but I never get around to actually doing it. This will be highly appreciated!

One of my favorite PCs was a fighter (7) whom I dualed to Shapeshifter via shadowkeeper (naughty naughty I know ). I had an internal backstory that I liked and had a blast playing him in werewolf form. I did get really tired of the dispellable paws though. With this component I will be tempted to give him or a pure shapeshifter another go.

I?ve mentioned how much I like the look of the sword angel kit elsewhere, but when you guys actually do release this mod the *first* thing I will be trying out is this kit.

Kudos for these and other good ideas!

Thanx Rath!
Luckily we have separate components, here!

I just wanted to let you guys know how blown away I am by the new HLA icons & spell visuals!

In the course of the little testing that I've done so far I've just been amazed time after time. My most recent moment came when seeing a successful Destruction attack. OMG! That was too much!

The Channel Magic one is fantastic as well!

I could go on and on. This stuff is great!

Damn... from the title of the thread, I thought you were talking about me

Oh yeah, I said it... hehe

ahem

I second this motion . Everything looks incredibly spiffy, I cannot wait for this mod's release

[Littiz]

Thanx for the comments, Rath

Most of the new animations are from IWD2, yet I believe a decent job has been done in combining and timing stuff Best resulting effect imho is in Rune of Immunity

I've extracted many animations from Torment recently, some will surely be used for future versions

Again, thanks for the positive comments guys, it is really appreciated! We put a great amount of work into those visuals and the icons (gods, I cannot remember how many times I had to redraw those icons before they started to look like this - actually, I'm quite proud of them ).

[Littiz]

Your drawings were almost always VERY good at the first attempt.
It were the backgounds that required the heaviest hassle (from my side at least )

I've been positively surprised with the portrait icons, too

[T.G.Maestro]

Thanks - I can truly appreciate these words from you after all that 'hassle' !
