"BG1 NPC in SoA & ToB" mod
(Author: Smiling Imp, additions - Austin & Arcanecoast Team)

This mod adds the majority of NPCs from BG1 into BG2 SoA&ToB. They have new banters and interjections and a few of them have encounters and quests as well. The mod is broken down into different components, allowing for easy mixing and matching with other mods that may also add NPCs from BG1.
Additionally, you will be able to visit a new city area, the luxurious Water Gardens, where all the rich and famous of Athkatla go to unwind.
The mod is compatible with BG2, BG2: EE, BGT and EET.
 

Version 15.5 includes the following changes:

1. Added Chinese translation by MephistoSatanDevil
2. The Russian translation has been slightly improved
3. Fixed bugs in the romance with Shar-Teel
4. Completing the Troll Chef quest in the Water Gardens will now award experience. Additionally, the journal entry for this quest has been made more detailed.
5. Merchant Amber in Water Gardens will no longer sell infinitely rare scrolls, which was unbalancing the game.
6. The merchant Rosco («Kagain» component) will no longer infinitely sell the "Squirrel Change" scroll.
7. The Spider Master (a tournament fighter, the "Shar-Teel" component) now has his equipment corrected (adamantine items have been replaced with regular ones, since adamantine items could not be used outside of the Underdark)
8. Tanna's cre-file at the Copper Coronet Fighting Pits (component "Shar-Teel") has been adjusted to improve game balance. Killing her will no longer award excessive experience, and the rare Varscona Blade can no longer be stolen from her.
9. The parameters of the new item from the Shar-Teel romance have been corrected (previously it was impossible to equip it)
10. The method for installing translation files has been changed (all files must now be in UTF-8 encoding)

I am happy to say that I have released a massive update of Skie: The Cost of One Girl's Soul!

I was always somewhat unhappy with the scope of the main quest -- the finale of the Soultaker quest and the rescue of our dear friend, Skie Silvershield. Now, the quest includes new areas, new encounters, new interjections, and new options, and it has this feeling that we are truly doing something important! The quest itself is now longer and a bit more difficult.

The update also comes with some minor fixes and a couple of short scenery talks for Skie herself. English and Chinese language options were already updated; the third translation is still to be updated, but the translators were already informed: when it's ready, the mod shall be updated again.

Special thanks to those who helped me with the update: FallDamage312, the author of two amazing areas; Yoshimo0417, who updated the Simplified Chinese translation; MephistoSatanDevil, who helped to coordinate the Chinese translation; CamDawg, who is always ready to answer my never-ending questions; and Skusha, who is currently helping with the update of the last translation that needs to be adjusted (provided by Ulpian, fufel007, Kirian).

Enjoy, everyone!

This mod offers an alternate path for Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good & Lawful Neutral characters (with a reputation of 14 or higher) to complete Dorn's SOA quest (Resurrection Gorge) without having him in the party.

In fact, in this alternate version of events, Dorn himself becomes the villain of the story.

V0.9 beta adds

• Players can access & complete the Resurrection Gorge map as part of a new questline.
• I'm releasing this version so others can download & test. I've already run through the content twice, but need more testers before dropping V1.0.

Delighted to announce a new subrace version. Its been a bit of a couple of days. @Graion Dilachpointed out some serious flaws in the mod, which are now I am happy to say corrected. It was a serious enough bugfix, that we've decided to create another release, so without further ado (I see you @CamDawg).
