Tyris Flare NPC

A Gibberlings Three Mod
Author: Grim Squeaker

Version 6 - Check for the most recent version

Meet Tyris Flare, a red-haired amazon who can kick ass and hurl fire!

Sound familiar? That's because I decided to have a nostalgia trip and recreate a character from ye olde Golden Axe computer games that were released on the Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis in America) and arcade machines in the 90s. You may also have seen her recently in Golden Axe: Beast Master, though my interpretation of the character is from the older games.

How does she end up in Baldur's Gate II? You'll have to play to find out!

Once in your party, Tyris will banter with all BioWare NPCs and can be romanced by any human/elf/half-elf male PC. Enjoy!

This mod is designed to work with Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn with or without the Throne of Bhaal expansion pack. The mod should be compatible with other WeiDU mods.

Windows
Tyris Flare is packaged and installed with WeiDU and is distributed as a self-extracting archive. To install, simply double-click the archive and follow the instructions on screen.

Alternatively the files can be extracted from the archive using WinRAR. If properly extracted, you should have a TyrisFlare folder and Setup-TyrisFlare.exe in your BG2 folder. To install, simply double-click Setup-TyrisFlare.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

Please run Setup-TyrisFlare.exe in your BG2 folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

The mod contains several components that can be installed independently of one another.

Tyris Flare NPC

This is the main component that will add Tyris Flare to your Shadows of Amn or Throne of Bhaal game. She can be found in the Umar Hills, vaguely near the cave.

Alternate Portraits
Requires Tyris Flare NPC

This multiple-choice component allows you to optionally install one of six alternate portraits for Tyris.

Grim Squeaker created this mod. Visit the Gibberlings Three forums for information on this and any other Gibberlings Three mods on which I may be working.

Special thanks to Tegan "Emberwolf" Harris for providing Tyris' voice!

Enormous thanks to my three testers/proofreaders: Jordoo, Kabuki and KIrving. Without them the writing in this mod would be... not so good.

Version 6 - January 22, 2012

• Finally bit the bullet and changed the level she dual-classes to level 7.
• Fixed a bug where you could summon Tyris with the Fate Spirit even if you'd brought her from SoA.
• Fixed another bug with her Firkraag interjection.
• Fixed the bit depth of Alternate Portrait 5 so it's acutally useable in game!

Version 5 - September 18, 2011

Fixed some embarassing gamestopping bugs that never should have made it into a public version :s

Version 4 - September 17, 2011

• Throne of Bhaal content!
• Another two Alternate Portraits!
• Due to a small mistake on my part, the previous versions were ToB-only. Now fixed.
• Fixed some issues with the audio (un)install on Mac. Thanks lynx!
• Fixed an interjection bug where Tyris interjected into "Lord Jierdan's" first dialogue rather than after Andross has revealed his true form...
• Fixed a bug with Cromwell charging completely the wrong amount for her armour upgrade.
• Added translation files to allow others to translate Tyris' dialogue.

Version 3 - November 6, 2009

• Full voicing! Yay!
• Various teeny, tiny tweaks and typo fixes.

Version 2 - October 18, 2009

• Additional interjections about returning the Knights of Solamnia home and the Trademeet gyspy.

Version 1 - September 18, 2009

First proper release. Yay! Complete SoA content, including banters, interjections and a BioWare+ romance (i.e., with flirts and all that good stuff). Unfortunately only the soundset is voiced so far, but this will be expanded upon asap.
