jmaeq Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hello, everyone! I've been quiet in regards to Zakrion's BG2 content. So, I've decided to make this thread include progress updates for SoA and ToB. I had to take a hiatus for about a year or so, and when I went back to reread what I had before the hiatus... I decided to rewrite it all. No worries though, progress is happening! I'm hoping to do a biweekly report until his BG2 content releases. So, without further ado, here are the updates! As of today (May 31, 2022), I have completed for SoA: Zakrion's quest has been outlined Item(s) has/have been written and coded - thanks to Lava for helping me on this one! Introduction Dialogue has been written and coded Departure/Kicking Member Out Dialogue has been written and coded Anomen Banters have been written and coded 7 Friendship Talks have been written and coded Romance Talks have been outlined What needs to be done: The rest of the BioWare and Beamdog NPCs need to be written and coded Writing and coding Zakrion's quest Item Interactions Interjections PID (Player Initiated Dialogues) The rest of the Friendship Talks Romance Talks Having an alternative class: Swashbuckler Quote Link to comment
Guest Respite Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Ridiculously jazzed to hear this is still happening! Please keep us posted! And this bit: Quote Having an alternative class: Swashbuckler YES. It makes so much sense for his character and backstory. I think I actually dualed Zakrion into a thief on one of my BG1 playthroughs anyway, and I think that added utility would be even more useful in BG2, given the limited options for good thieves there. More variety is always appreciated. On the romance, I was wondering, do you have a tentative idea of how many talks there will be? Also - and I'm sure this would likely come some time after the initial release, since this is all crossmod stuff - are you planning on writing conflicts with other mod romances? It might be interesting to see how Zakrion reacts to any BG1 NPC Project romances that might have carried over, at least. Especially since some of them have the potential to end badly...

jmaeq Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Quote On the romance, I was wondering, do you have a tentative idea of how many talks there will be? At the moment, I was planning on writing at least 6-8 romance talks for him in SoA. It's on the shorter end of the stick, because the PC will have to go through 10 friendship talks to initiate or bring up the past "relationship" with him. Quote Also - and I'm sure this would likely come some time after the initial release, since this is all crossmod stuff - are you planning on writing conflicts with other mod romances? It might be interesting to see how Zakrion reacts to any BG1 NPC Project romances that might have carried over, at least. Especially since some of them have the potential to end badly... With the permission of other modders, I most definitely would like to include crossmod content. I would very much like to have mod romance conflicts as well... I'll admit, I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to romance conflicts. Lastly, thank you very much for your words! I am really aiming for a late 2022 or early 2023 release date for Zakrion, but we'll see! Quote Link to comment
