I'm so used to my time limits for completing stuff proving fake, I'll soon learn to not be ashamed of it! :D

This mod was created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of BG1... only that I could only see it myself on that exact day. It is basically done, but I'm having scripting issues here, and I know you wouldn't want a buggy mod released. So I'll do what I can to fix that fighting, then give it here. This is a school week for me, and I have to study like mad, so you'll excuse me. I wanted to say what's happening with the mod, since I've been mentioning it (promised it for... ahem... yesterday), and didn't want to open 5 separate topics just for one mini mod. I hope it's alright to edit this post and add it here once it's finished. :blush:

It took like ten days to get it to where it is now, and lots of trouble. And it isn't even that long. :P



- From the ReadMe -
(yes, the readme got finished sooner than the mod. same thing as with Anomen romance conflicts Vs actual NPC romance in BG2.)

1. The mod features:

- 9 brand new non-joinable NPCs in two separate encounters (8 of them bards. yes.)
- 2-3 possible Trouble endings, plus one extra ending for bard-haters
- party member interjections (done without anyone's permission)
- portraits stolen from NWN
- a new item and a poem ("We love you Baldur's Gate")
- audio: parts of two songs, "Master of the house", performed by the original London cast of the play "Les Miserables", and "The Bard's song - In the forest" by Blind Guardian


2. Some notes.

You need to enter the Friendly Arm inn to see the first performance. To see the second one, go to Jovial Juggler in Beregost (but only after having seen the first part).

You don't have to know anything about Les Miserables or Blind Guardian to understand this mod. It's random.

I'm a semi-fan of "Les Miserables" and for some reason, I always wanted to implement that one song into a game. The Blind Guardian content came later, as I was beginning to work on it all. On a sidenote, I am a Blind Guardian fan myself, so please take all that happens in this mod as pure randomness!

If it ends up offending you in any way, you are either an innkeeper, a member of Blind Guardian, or not my problem.

The mod contains BAD LANGUAGE. You have been warned.

The joinables who react to the events from Bard Trouble are:
Shar-Teel, Xzar, Monty, Edwin, Eldoth, Garrick, Xan, Coran, Imoen, Branwen, Minsc. (I think.)
I apologize if I wrote some of them badly.

It's a joke mod. And if you don't like that, well, it's a mod in which you can go and kill some bards.

To be added soon! Promise. :blush:

"Farewell, Charname, and may Irenicus get you!"

Mazzy to Edwin:
"When science finally locates the center of the planes, I'm sure you'll be taken aback to find that you're not it."
