Well, i know this might be considered beating an dead horse (i have seen some topics about this that are a couple years old) but since we already have the "Khalid in BG2" mod, i was wondering if anyone is currently or interested in bringing the Rashemen witch to BG2 (i did read something about "dynaheir" being the next project in the Khalid mod topic, but i suppose that was never mentioned again.)I have no skills with IE modding (the only thing i ever did was to edit some dialogues in already done mods) but from a storytelling perspective, bringing her back shouldnt pose much of a problem, especially since shes barely mentioned at all by anyone except Minsc.Couple ideias that would be explored in this mod:-She would be spared by Irenicus because of her Divination powers ( such as Irenicus forcing her to discover what CHARNAME is draming about, and lets be honest here, if Irenicus didint killed good old Minsc, he would have spared her, since she can be much more useful to him)-More insight of Rashemi culture (such as the Iron Lords or the "long hair = respect" subjects, in case your wondering)-Giving people Lawful good pure mage, for those who dont like Edwin.-Dynaheir would assume the role of CHARNAME's mentor/counselor (i always thought BG2 needed someone like this. Some can say jaheira has such role, but instead of druidic/true neutral speech, Dyna would give more situational/down to earth advice, always trying to lead the bhaal child away from his dark origin).-A possibility to continue the romance for those that played the BG1 NPC mod (i belive only Ajantis has an romance that spams all the BG games, an addition to him would be nice)As for an explanation for her evading her self aware fate (as hinted by her dialogue in the NPC mod), it can be explained that by being in contact with (or maybe by the action of) the bhaal child changed her fate. This could be also used as an personal quest, maybe some Wychlaran really dont like those that escape fate and dyna gets in trouble for that.Maybe i am just rambling on and nobody actually has any interest in the Rashemi witch, but i hope maybe someday such mod will see the light.What you guys think?
Glad to see you're picking stuff up fairly quickly. I'm still trying to do that!
...I always have difficulty in coming up with banter topics for NPCs.
QuoteGlad to see you're picking stuff up fairly quickly. I'm still trying to do that! Thanks, but its not that much really, by "made some banters" i meant 3, 2 "Minsc-Dynaheir" and one with CHARNAME, also, my dialogue files are very primitive ,i have it all inside one .d file (wish i knew how to make a .TRA file, i know how they are *supposed* to work, but i failed to discover what i must do in the .tp2 to get them working).
Well, another problem i came across is that in the BG1NPC mod Dynaheir's dialogue is all written in a very formal way, for example:"Thinkest thou that this starlit land is the most fair thou hast seen?"Since english isnt even my native language and i already make alot of mistakes while writing (i already asked my english teacher if he can proof-read this mod for me, hes a huge fan of D&D), making her lines all like that is something which i cant do it myself, even so, i want to try to continue the romance as portrayed in the mod (i still have to see how i can i make it work with BG1NPC ) so for now, Dyna will just speak normal english
I will probably give a read of all her BG1 dialogue (even tho i just finished an BG1 playthrough) so i can remember how shes like. As of now, i would like to know if the BG1NPC mod romance GLOBALs carry over BG2 if your using BGT mod (i remember my that in my last BG2 playthrough i saw something about DYLOVETALK while editing variable in shadowkeeper, but i i might be wrong). I would be great if i can make an special intro dialogue for those that are already *acquainted* with the Witch.
Quote...I always have difficulty in coming up with banter topics for NPCs.Yeah, tell me about it, i thought making conversation between the NPCs would be easy, but after writing 2 for Minsc i ran out of ideas, maybe if i ever taken Valygar into my party I would have at least another dialogue ideia (he hates magic, you say? that already sounds interesting).
Oh, dont you worry, i will give some feedback on Halbo as soon as i get my BWL account working
Hey BR4ZIL. When you are ready to TRA-ify your text, take a look at this post that Aldark posted here.http://www.shsforums.net/topic/50964-bg1-npcs-for-soa/page__view__findpost__p__542007I just recommend doing this when you are close to done, otherwise you will have to edit/add new text in TRA format, which if you didn't learn that way like me, can be confusing.
Meh.. I ask b/c it is nice to know that I am not talking to myself at all times as I slowly descend down the rabbit hole of madness! I wish you the best of luck at school.
