Which mod would you like to see reviewed?

Remove all ads!

I wonder if someone tried
"Icewind Dale II NPC Project"
from gibberling33.net
and (even more interesting)
"Icewind Dale NPCs"
from pocketplane.

If i find the time, I'll do a review myself for the IWD1 part, but this would be late summer i guess...

 

I've played both mods, the writing is outstanding. You may want to use Dalekeeper to change a few things in the IWD2 NPC mod because it's certainly not a powergamer's dream party but as far as NPC mods go these two mods are top quality mods.

I never thought about writing a review due to my limited gaming time (that is entirely devoted to DAO at the moment) but these mods are definitely worthy of reviews.

 

Thanks Caradhras,
they are both on my "to play" list then ;-)

 

I 2nd Carahras on IWD NPCs. It was excellent. My wife, a nongamer, paused a few times to listen to the dialogue while I was playing thru it. She dislikes games and gaming altogether, but this mod gave her pause. I would call that some darn good credentials. Almost converted her...almost.

 

keep trying, blades, keep trying!!

 

I would like to see the Virtue Mod for Baldur's Gate 2 reviewed and allow for modifications of the law/chaos axis. Now they said it wasn't feasible. I believe there are many things you do in Baldur's Gate that could affect your alignment. I believe they did not add the law/chaos axis because they were mistaken about it. Like I said in one of my previous posts, Law for example doesn't just mean you are following the law all time, you actually promote. Neutral (on the law/chaos axis) is usually a middle state just like neutral (on the good/evil axis). A neutral character (law/chaos axis) may follow the law all the time but that doesn't mean he is promoting it.


A few examples based on consequences of actions :

Law : 1) When someone asks you to do something that is non-disruptive, and you achieve you mission sucessfuly, it should be considered a minor/moderate lawful act. That would mean a lot of script work in BG.

2) Saying the truth even though it would be against your conscience to do so is a minor lawful act.

3) Allowing a helpless foe to surrender would be a minor lawful act.

4) Telling others what to do when it comes to appropriate or principled behaviour would be a moderate/major act.

etc.

Neutral (anything that is neither lawful or chaotic) :

1) Following the law without advancing any form of order.

2) Leave criminals/forces of authority undisrupted

3) Refusing to do something chaotic that would be beneficial.

etc.

Chaos : 1) Using magic illegally in town would be a major chaotic act.

2) Stealing when someone notices you would be a minor/moderate chaotic act.

3) Killing someone while being noticed would be a moderate/major chaotic act.

4) Betraying individuals/groups/organisations that owed your thrust (like Shadow Thieves and Vampires) would involve minor/major chaotic acts.

etc.

 

At this point, anything!

I'm eager to see some life return here!

 

I'm probably gonna be in trouble for a 1.3 year old double posting but I must know!

So... Is this board dead? That'd be a tragic shame if nobody reviewed mods for us and gave them the justice they deserve.

I'd do reviews myself were I allowed, but I digress. I hope this isn't the end.
