1) What about Iltha, Garren's daughter... Is she to occur in the mod?

If the PC is male, Garren has a daughter; if the PC is female, he has a son.

2) Is the paladin PC to be knight or in some way acknowledged as a knight? I mean the 'sir ' stuff and such...

Yes, but only if you complete the quest in the best possible way. The paladin will be invited to join the Order in a ceremony and receive his/her own cup. The title part might be tricky with so many people who normally play paladins already naming their character "Sir xxxxx". It would look goofy to suddenly be called "Sir Sir xxxx":D Still working that out if its possible to detect the name in some way.

Just to add: I can think of only two people in ToB that might bother to acknowlege your character's title or status:

1.Commander in the Oasis
2.Balthazar

The rest wouldnt care... you are just Bhaalspawn to them. Balthazar would be easy to add a little conversation. Which leaves us with the commander in the Oasis area. It was suggested early on that your status with this quest might prevent hostility there. Quitch is against that, and I am too to a certain extent as it means remaking that entire encounter. Perhaps it can be done later with a patch... or someone else can add to RTW by doing this.

Chevaleir: I will keep you in mind for help. We havent gotten to the Order reward portion of the quest much yet... just a skeleton for now as we are working on the main quest.

Althernai: You really love saying obvious things, don't you?

Yes. That, and I misinterpreted the smilie. After having posted, I realized she probably knows that. Sorry.

[Dyara]

Just to solve this small riddle: Yes, I did know that the gender of Garren´s child depends on the gender of the PC since I was very surprised playing a male paladin and becoming romanced by Garren´s daughter .

And yes, the ;) smiley looks a little bit strange .

@chevalier des Trois-Tours: No need to apologize .

[Cuv]

Just to point out Chevalier: You wont be going back to Athkatla (sp?)... this is a ToB quest. The only places you will see from SoA are the main Windspear outdoors and inside the Order headquarters.... leaving through the door from the headquarters brings up the ToB map again as that is the end of the RTW quest.

Roman law? That sounds interesting.
What do you study - law or things Roman?

I'm considering doing the whole saga again too...

I started a new party from SoA for the RtW Mod, but I'm already at the enclaves and I have a feeling its gonna be a while before its released. Its a good (aligned) party too, which I'm not used to...

Seeing Sarevok 'good' is making me kinda sick...(well, not really, its a game)

While I highly doubt I'll be starting the saga over with a Paladin, I do plan to do it. Only problem I have is I like dual-weilding, but I can't in BG1. Despite the fact that they have the same name, the two games have a different feel to them. I've done it before and it just feels like I'm starting a new character from the beginning of SoA anyway, so why bother?

I'll answer my own question: the story of course ;-)

Either way, I'm considering doing it with an Evil Cleric. Never played a cleric before, how's the stronghold for Talos?

At this point there is no real need for a high weapons wielding party. It is mostly dialogue feedback.
Like Quitch said, Cuv redisigned the whole dungeon and the monster are re-evaluated.

I suggest that you import your party to ToB and move to the North Forrest.

[Raistlin]

It seems I'm not meant to play good aligned parties...somehow, both of my save games got corrupted when my computer froze. I would have to start ToB from the beginning again (no thanks)

Ah well...Anomen was annoying me anyway (my PC was a female so I romanced him just to mess with him..it made it all worthwhile). Anomen's pretty powerful though. I didn't give him enough credit at first. I didn't know Clerics could case so many spells and have 5 proficiency slots (this being fighter related I'm sure).

Forgive me for saying that perhaps you spend a little too much time with the BG series Chevalier?

I know about re-assigning proficiencies when starting SoA, but I would have wanted to duel-weild in BG1 as well...mostly for role-playing purposes.

I'm still not sure whether or not I like the idea of a Mage/Cleric. A few too many spells for my liking. I'd rather be fully adept with one or the other. I'm not too worried about stats so that would never be a factor, but where are the 3 Wisdom books in BG1? I can't remember...its been a while.

How do proficiencies work if I create a fighter, then dual-class him to a cleric? Or for a multi-classed fighter/cleric? Anomen had me questioning it. I'm pretty sure its Cleric ethos weapons, but what about level of specialization. I don't think I can but an evil Cleric dual weilding long swords would be perfect. Another question, when you dual class you don't get to chose a kit, so how the hell did Anomen end up with a symbol of Lathander?

I'm not too concerned about the difficulty of RtW. There's always a way to win ;-)

Fighter/cleric dual-classes can get grandmastery in weapons as long as they're cleric-ethos ones.

Because Bioware was lazy and gave symbols based on alignments rather than the god that the NPC was supposed to worship (e.g., Viconia, gets a symbol of Talos instead of Shar). Ask jcompton about his can-of-Pringles theory.
