This mod is absolutely fantastic.

Hi, I'm a person who's been around the baldurs gate scene for quite some time, I took a hiatus of a few years and only recently returned, I tried several mods and was linked to yours, I decided to play the entire saga from the start, starting with BG Tutu, to the end, on a whim I included the Longer road because I was curious as to how irenicus has been written.

I found the mod absolutely fantastic, well writen arguments, thoughtful choices, amusing choices, good banter between characters.

Though more my own fault than anything, but the Weimers item upgrade mod kept overwriting imoens dialogue, it was quite funny seeing a conversation along this line:

Imoen: Ooooh, cespenar likes the shiny ones.
Irenicus: What are you nattering about, child?
Imoen: Celestial fury +5.
Irenicus: Why would you even ask that?

If I could make a suggestion for you, it would be to provide some degree of compatability with weimer's Valen and Solaufein character mods, as both characters are relatively 'prominent' in the storyline, and if both stay with you, then they should have some form of interaction with the main villain, the reason I say this is because both characters completely ignored each others existence, which would be rather strange. I wouldn't mind assisting with dialogue if you did decide to do this.

I've started to read your grey ashes novel, I'm on chapter two and enjoying it thus far, I'll sign off now, but I wish you all the best if you are deciding to continue this mod.

Salutations!

I thank thee for your kind words - the mod took a lot of work and energy, and not just mine as it was created by a collective effort of the team of people. I am glad you liked it enough to actually post your opinion - it appears that BG and BG 2 have turned into a sort of 'classic' that is likely to stay around until RPG genre itself is alive.

In any case I have not done much in the modding area for a long time ( although I have some vague plans related to NWN 2 engine). I rather like both Valen and Solaufein mods - l these are the only ones out there I actualy had energy to try not simply scan throu the dialogs.

Still, my knowledge of both of the characters is weak and I have not coded a single Infinity
line for about a year now - my last attempt at modding was BG 1 npc Tutu mod addition that allowed npc's to be send to an inn...

If you have banter ideas or sketches for Valen or Soula - you can post them here. Maybe I can even be persuaded to look into the idea...

By odd coincidence I just downloaded the Valen mod and started playing it today. I take it from this thread that there are no game-crashing compatability issues between Valen and Longer Road? (Valen and Jon don't need to talk to eachother, so long as I can have them in the party simultaneously without breaking the game.)

Dorotea, you are still awesomeness. Posted a reply to the latest Ashes on the Attic.
