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.
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.
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
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.
