    [​IMG] Kelsey, Valen, Solaifein, Tashia... anyone else?
    Also, I read somewhere about Valygar's romance, I searched everywhere but all I got were forums saying that is good or not but no link to download the mod. Is there such mod? where can I get it?
    Also, is there any other NPC mod around?

    The Valygar romance is part of the Tortured Souls mod, which also includes 2 new NPC's, Kachiko (Kensai/Mage) and Sime (Aran Linvail's lacky from SoA, ranger/cleric). It also modifies Yoshimo to be a redeamable good guy. I've heard it's a decent mod, but still have yet to play it. It's available here in the downloads section.

    Forgotten Wars (the people who made Kelsey) are in the process of making a few new NPC's. Sorry - don't have the link handy. But go to the BG2 mods section here, and click the link for Kelsey to get there. They have their projects listed on the sides of the page.

    The Darkest Day and Shadows over Soubar mods also add new NPC's but they suck, IMO so don't bother, especially since they both involve such hefty downloads.

    Boo is also an NPC mod, plus some floating eyeball named "Goo," but these are all I know of.

    Forgotten Wars is http://www.forgottenwars.net

    And the Valygar Romance from Tortured Souls is being split out and expanded into a stand-alone WeiDU-installable mod at FWStudios, http://www.fwstudios.net . (Note that there are actually TWO Valygar projects at Studios, "Valygar Romantique" is the one we're referring to here.)

    Thought Sime was an assassin. It was pretty clear from the plot.

    That's what I thought, too. But in the mod, she's a ranger/cleric. :confused: But mods seem to make little realistic sense these days. Go figure.

    [​IMG] Thank you guys, I already tried some of those sites, sadly (for me) I can't download a 20MB file, because it will take about 5 hours, which I wouldn't mind to take but I have no internet, all I have is this cyber-cafe where I can barely download up to 15MB per day.
    Thanks anyway, at least I have found a new mod's web (fwstudios)

    I'm currently making one that's got thousands of lines of dialogue and some interesting background. If you like NPC interaction and well-defined character, you'll love this mod. I can't tell you when it will be finished, though.

    There's a bunch of custom NPC mods available from both www.fwstudios.net and www.forgottenwars.net. You can even take a look at some of the ones under development.

    Details! Details! Is it a build upon a current in-game non-recruitable NPC, or a new one from scratch? Male or female? Good or Evil? I'm a mod junkie...feed my addiction :evil:

    Female, not currently in-game, chaotic good alignment.

    Hehe, I'm a dialogue and personality junkie, so count on getting very long and thought out conversation.

    Not a thief, unfortunately. There were a lot of those in production whenever I started this.
