On successful extraction, there should be a "godcall" folder and a "setup-godcall.exe" file in your game folder.

This mod uses many animations taken from Infinity Animations. Credits for these amazing animations go to the original creators of this mod.

This mod uses animations originally created for Neverwinter Nights 1 and one songfile from NWN1.

I used AI for the voiceover of this mod using the tools Elevenlabs and Replica Studios. I have used the AI in compliance with all applicable copyright regulations and have not cloned or copied voices of other artists. You can choose to not install the voiceover if you don't like this component as it's separately from the main component.

Definitely ready to have a go at this.

Congratulations on the release! (Well, soon to come release)

This looks impressive, like all your mods.

[Trouveur80]

Congratulations! 

I'm not native English speaker, so I will eagerly wait for the official release. 

Thank you for this amazing work. 

[Morgoth]

Congrats for this. Will wait religiously.

Waukeen finally getting her bit of attention, eh?

[Gorionar]

A must-play mod. I wish the author more strength for the release of the mod, which requires great attention to detail.

[Daulmakan]

This looks so amazing it makes a sad panda that's it's EE only. Congrats on the teaser release.

[Acifer]

Thank you all for your feedback!

The code for Vanilla BG2 is still present, as I had developed this mod to a certain extent for original BG2. Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment as I want to complete my other projects first, but it would basically be possible to make the mod backwards compatible again and adapt scripts, items and some bams for the classic version of the game.

You should ask to be part of the betatesting. I've seen your report on the NWN mod for BG2 and your contributions have been great.

Glad to hear, fingers crossed.

Is this available to play yet? People seem to be playing it but I can't find a download anywhere.

From the OP :

"Current progress: 

The mod version is beta V. 0.7

The English version is currently being proofread and Beta tested. As soon as this is completed I will officially release the English version of the mod and provide a download link." 

[Acifer]

Yes, I need some more time before I can publish the first official version.
I'm receiving extremely helpful feedback in terms of beta testing and proofreading, which is improving the mod immensely. It's amazing to be able to work with such dedicated people from the community.
So it won't take too long.

[Acifer]

The weather in Athkatla is expected to be sunny next week - a good time to release the mod!

I expect to publish the official English version V 1.0 at the end of next week.
