Is Sir Nord necessary for Hildury's subplot?

[AstroBryGuy]

I recently started my first adventure with IWD2NPC. I took the main core: Sir Nord, Hildury, Salomeya, and Jaemal. CHARNAME is a Rogue/Fighter, and I added Val for divine magic (and an extra strong arm and shield for the front line). It's been a lot of fun so far.

 

However, the party just had Sir Nord fall in battle. I could shlep him back to the nearest temple and raise him, but I'm thinking that "story-wise", it might not be a bad idea to let Sir Nord lie and give CHARNAME a reason to step up and stand on his own two feet.

 

My question is, if I do that, will Hildury's subplot still happen? I don't know anything about the subplot, other than that it happens sometime in the latter part of the game. If letting Sir Nord stay dead will kill the subplot, I might consider raising him.

 

Thanks!

I might be mistaken, but I thought Hildury's subplot happens at its best when both Sir Nord and Diriel are active and in party.

Hildury does need either Sir Nord or half-orc PC to get more content. She will still banter, but there is no content that deals with her standing on her own if Nord is not there.

Thanks for the information!

 

@Domi - It's a great mod. Wonderful characters!

 

@Kulyok - IWD1NPC is great too! The characters felt like such a natural part of the game that I had to remind myself it was a mod when starting IWD2. I was half expecting Korin and Nella to make cameo appearances.

Glad you are enjoying the game, cheers! IWD2NPC actually predated the IWD1NPC, so nope, no cameos
