Guest Guest Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I like this idea, it's good to see a romance with a character that's not in the party, it adds a new twist to the game. Will this person come to see you in the night if you're a male as well? I'm not talking about romancing a man, just trying to corrupt you if you're a man as well, or is it purely for the women? Are there going to be options to kill this person off though, if he tries to kill/corrupt someone you don't want him to, for example - stop him assassinating Boo? I also wonder what, exactly, are his reasons for doing all this? Or is this asking for too much spoilerisms? P.S - I always thought Nalia would be the most corruptable of the lot, it's nice to finally see someone acting upon it Link to comment
Meira Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Another project Domi? There is no workholics in your family, is there? Seriously, this seems like an interesting project. Though I doubt that I can be much help since I'm such a sissy goody-two-shoes; unable to think anything evil. Which does not mean that I would not be interested in playing a character that gets corrupted. Link to comment

P.S - I always thought Nalia would be the most corruptable of the lot, it's nice to finally see someone acting upon it No, the plot is targeting only a female player, and only a Human one at that - because of motivation of the Visitor to introduce the main story-line. The only way to "save" a good NPC is to remove him/her from the party after a warning talk from the Visitor comes up or get rid of the Visitor in one of the talks when he is weakened - and he will not bother you again. I know that it is taking away the party composition descision from a player, but I believe that any other solution will thin down the plot. His motivation is a mixture of paranoia, love, jelousy and fate... And yep, saying more will be a majour spoiler. @Meira - workaholism runs in my family... alas. But I would never do another project if it was not so persistently nagging at me. But I promissed myself that it will be a very slow project... relaxing. Link to comment
Guest chaz58 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 This idea is fantastic. Until someone starts making 'A Mod for the Wicked' again, this is my most anticipated mod, really hope you finish it Domi. PS. the smilies here rule... Link to comment
Andyr Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Great mod plan! I don't think human - only is good, though, since I know a lot of people rarely play humans. I almost never do... Link to comment
Domi Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Thank you, guys! Alas, has to be human only due to Z STORY. I myself love playing elves (surprise-surprise) but there is no way around this clause. Link to comment
The Midnight Hawk Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Woohoo!! Finally the promise of true evil corruption for us who possess the...predisposition This is such an ambitious mod idea, I hope it can be done and live up to expectation. I am so fed up of having my female PC romancing goody-two shoes. I know it's interesting to corrupt the "good" guys, but what about the ones that aren't so "good"...couldn't the neutral characters also become evil and the "evil" characters get encouraged to become yet more evil?? Just a thought. But "Yay" yet again. Link to comment
Domi Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Thank you. I am very concerned as well with the fact that the idea is ambitious, and that is why I will avoid neutral characters for now. I think I have a relatively good motivations for the characters on the list and I would like to work through it before switching to anything else. In fact, I would like to work through the core dialogues first, before expanding the nuggest of the corruption scenarios I have right now. Link to comment
Pekka Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hmm, I bet this is going to be one helluva mod! I've never played a female character in BG, but with this mod I might even try it. The idea that this Mystery Man (or is he a man?) is not just one new NPC for the player's party is very special & something totally new. (At least it's news to me, because I just recently found out that there ARE mods for BG!) Sure it's ambitious, but what can you achieve without a little bit of ambition? So yes, I'm very much looking forward to this mod. Link to comment
Domi Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Welcome to the modding community and help yourself to a handfull of mods! Yes, the Midnight Visitor is a man One of majour drawbacks of the mod is that PC is narrowly casted as a human female, but I hope to compensate for it with an interesting story. Link to comment
Sillara of the Tamari Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I say stick with the limitations! I have read enough of your Valygar things to appreciate your storytelling, and, regardless of my usual playing style (often Elves), I know I would certainly play human for this mod! Keep it up, Domi!

Domi Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thank you Sillara, I appreciate the encouragement Link to comment
Briannandoah Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 This mod is going to be quite interesting, I think. And it is good you keep the limitations, because to try to please everyone is impossible, and if you try, it might spoil the whole concept. Too much concensus is not always a good thing. Though I am no expert on modding... but this is how I feel about many things, so I guess it'll go for the mods, too. I rather liked some of the limitations in the original game also, and that is why I have f.ex not installed "the romance for all and everyone" (or whatever it is called) mod. This mod could be a good reason to play an evil character for a change (haven't found good enogh reason for that yet, especially because it is so difficult in the original game *sigh*).

Domi Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Thank you; I too think that a romance targeting a certain PC will be more interesting than a very generic one. I do not think that NE Assassin is necesseraly the way I see PC here, but I would expect a gooder character to either be willing to be spoiled, or challenge MV on the early stages of the romance to either win or die in the attempt to get rid of his influence.

Mahault Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I feel like I can't leave here without adding my approval of this mod. What a great idea. Especially for those who, as general practice, create evil PC's. Whenever it's done I'm sure this mod will prove to be seriously interesting! Link to comment
