I've been playing BG2 and just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all the work and mods you've done (for free!). I think this mod was a part of Tortured Souls (or something like that?) I've played this mod and everything works completely fine. Something that bothers me about it though, is the uneven writing. It's clear that some of the text was written by someone with a limited grasp of the English language while the other half is of very high quality. Is anyone planning to do grammar check some of the text? Or has something changed since the last update? Could I offer help somehow? Again, thank you for you all your work, I've played your mods since my early teens (Wow!) So I'm not the only one who had this idea? I remember beta'ing on this back in the day, it's a nostalgia trip seeing it again. I'm partway done a cursory proofread, mostly minor issues though the most notable thing I've found is that Keldorn's banter regarding Valygar's mother needs her name updated. If this particular anon's still around and has decided to proofread themselves, maybe we can compare notes? Quote Link to comment
RavenBlack Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Several rounds of proofreading after the aforementioned cursory proofread later, I think I'm to the point where I'm finally done. Would it be OK if I uploaded everything here? Quote Link to comment
RavenBlack Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) OK, here they are. English.zip Edited January 19, 2022 by RavenBlack Repackaged. Quote Link to comment
jastey Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 @RavenBlack Thanks. Would you please zip them into a package, because if I download them individually I need to rename them afterwards. Quote Link to comment
Guest Claire Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Thank you both so very much, Im really sorry it took me so long to reply. I was extremely busy with my Job due to Corona. And Jastey, your English is completely fine, I think the "weird" bits are from the very old Tortured Souls portion of the mod, which was done waaaaay back in the early 2000s (und ich bin übrigens auch keine Muttersprachlerin!) I didn't mean to come across as ungrateful, I'm extremely thankful modders are doing all the stuff for us in the first place, making this series way for more "female friendly" than it was at release. For free as I want to add again. I really love all the mods you guys have done with all my heart, they were my "comfort blanket" when my father died back and I could "escape" to the magical fantasy world of Baldurs Gate (1 especially). So once again, thank you both very much and I hope you're having a wonderful future Quote Link to comment
jastey Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Thanks again for the kind words! It is much appreciated. (Dankeschön!) @RavenBlack Thanks for attaching the package, I missed your edit until now. Updating the mod is on my ToDo list. Quote Link to comment
jastey Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 The mod updates to v5, with an improved English version by @RavenBlack. Thank you for proofreading! Changelog: -English version proofread by RavenBlack. Quote Link to comment
Salk Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 This sounds like an interesting mod. There are hints in the BG2 dialog.tlk file that Valygar should have been a romanceable NPC companion. (ex. @65910 = ~What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? The ranger you name "Valygar."~ [HGWRA108]) so I am glad to see work has been done in order to make it happen.

Mike1072 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 We received the following report at the G3 email address from a Joanna. I'll direct them to this thread. Quote Hi all. Thank you so much for all your Mods. I am encountering a small bug in the Corthala Romance patch, during the Throne of Baal at the Forest of Mir. After Gorion's 'spirit' appears and taunts me, Valygar's 'spirits' arrive as well. Unfortunately, the character of Magdelene gets stuck -- my characters keep trying to attack her but she is uninjurable, and her name is frozen with the script from Valygar's Bodhi death in Shadows of Amn (ending with "some way to restore him, you don't know how"). Is this a known error? Any ideas how to fix? Quote Link to comment
Endarire Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Will Valygar romance female half-orcs? The documentation says "no short races." Thankee! Quote Link to comment

The "no short races" was phrased for classic BGII, so he will romance (female) humans, elves, half-elves, and half-orcs of good, LN, TN alignment or if they are a druid. Quote Link to comment
Guest Astrid Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Spoiler Hello, Firstly really thank all the modders here, I really enjoyed all the dialogues with him. It's fun and add lots of character to him. So here's my question. I've just finished ToB and got some questions about the mod, and I got really confused about the ending. *Spoilers alert So I've chosen to be a mortal again, but to my surprise, in the ending text of Valygar, the text showed that he married Lenora eventually. After all these lovetalks...Is that the best happliy ever after ending? Not sure about other possible endings... I've searched for more information but couldn't find any discussion. If any other player has dated him or the writer/modder @jastey here would love to give me some hints about this...would be really appreciated. (Yup I'm kinda heartbroken right now hahahaha, I mean he just said he loved me but married another woman in the end ) Thanks for the great mod again! Quote Link to comment
