What's the purpose of this mod?

[grogerson]

Good to hear, Vlad. Congratulations. I know you've put a lot of work and time into it. NEJ is a mod for, and expansion to, the BG2 story line, however. This is a straight-across conversion into the BG2 engine.

 

The hope is that it will open a new and fresh setting for modding, and expanding a game that engine differences made extremely difficult in the original vanilla IWD game. NPCs, side quests, new areas, Fed-Ex quests to add side stories and even a little humor, to make the game feel little less lineal and not so much a dungeon-crawl. It is also completely independent of the Bhaalspawn saga, taking place 60 years before Drizzt is even born. Those familiar with the old SSI Gold Box game Treasures of the Savage Frontier should know some of the areas that can be added near the Dale, not to mention the other eight of the Ten Towns...
