Beautiful picture, Madeleine!

And I have to agree with Yoshimo there... ;)

In Topic: Online Area Making Seminar

23 May 2007 - 12:18 PM

Great idea,

Although I crafted some areas for my own mod I am sure I could learn more than a thing or two from you.
Consider me in - though my amount of free time somehow seems to dwindle with every passing week.

In Topic: Comments on 'Choices'

I suppose comments on the second part of this wonderful story go here as well?

Anyway, I read the second part of this and promptly did a search for the first that I somehow missed - both qualify as one of the best BG fanfics I ever read - if not the very best. You definately have talent there.
Wonderful scene/situation/plot you started from - brilliantly executed on top of that. Well done! Your Sarevok is very convincing indeed - as is your Bhaalspawn and the confrontation/bluff/powerplay that develops between the two of them.

You proved that I was not the only one who felt seriously unsatisfied with Sarevok's sudden reappearance in TOB - and the shallow excuse needed to bring him back to life - I would have far more liked the alternative you painted us here.  

It are these sort of believable situations/dilemmas that you created here that I am still missing in PC RPGs - luckily we can still find it in novels or - to my surprise - in fanfic such as yours.

Thank you.

Hey, thanks for the compliments.

Kellen, I am more than familiar with editing BG - problem is either I have a PC with internet, but no installed BG - or no internet but installed BG (Hopefully that will be fixed soon - curse the one who invented wireless internet!). I wrote this little piece without any BG resources near.
A comparison with Poe is a nice compliment indeed, especially if one's writing is being compared with The Telltale Heart - one of his very best.

Somehow most of the things I write end up like this - either one massive train of thought, a monologue of a list of diary fragments - more traditional writing feels often like a chore to me - you constantly need to add things in between the parts which are truly fun to write - while with this I can just let things go as they pop up in my mind - or is it just me, trying to mask a seriously defective knowledge of proper grammar and punctuation ;)

Updated topic title - no trouble at all.

In Topic: Dialog file names from BG1 in BGT

06 May 2007 - 02:50 AM

Generally yes, with the exception of several dialogue files which exist both in BG1 or BG2 (or who collide with some other mod)

I think Ascension provided some handy files who document all the changes - I think in the help directory - I am not on my own computer right now so I can't give you the exact file ref or forward it to you.
