    The Silver Star NPC mod (from Davide Carta and Seifer) has been updated and is now available with macOS and Linux support.

    This mod adds an elven neutral evil assassin who can first join the party in Irenicus' lovely underground hole. Silver Star is partially insane (*we don't want to say mad*), and has some childhood complex: for example, she has a true obsession for sweet little lambs... She is chronically poisoned, which explains her high tolerance to poison and her low constitution. She is a remorseless killer, when in a normal mood, and does some evil things, like gambling, blackmailing, killing, stealing and so on... She has crude and cruel dialogues, and banters with NPCs in SoA, but not in ToB

    Version 2.0.0 is BG2, ToB, BGT, BG2:EE and EET compatible, and provides updated Russian translation.
