Kulyok Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 When I play SOA (with TOB installed), and reach the Watcher's Keep, Bioware NPCs do not talk there. Their interjections trigger only in TOB. It is a well-known fact, but I do not like it at all. Is there a mod that changes it, allowing Bioware NPCs to have their say at the Watcher's Keep in both SOA and TOB? G3 Tweak Pack doesn't, this I know. P.S. And a small modding-related question: is it at all possible to create a mod with interjections in Watcher's Keep(in SOA), but which also works on SOA-only install? Meaning a user who doesn't have TOB will install it and play it, and a user who has SOA and TOB will install it and play through the Watcher's Keep with new interjections/dialogue? Link to comment

I'd probably approach it with an ACTION_IF compile statement that compiled a .d file dedicated solely to WK interjects, and solely if TOB appeared to actually be installed. Link to comment

Well, Watcher's Keep is a part of ToB, so no. And porting it to be playable in SoA doesn't seem like that great an idea, since it's affecting BioWare's ability to sell copies of ToB. Unless you do like Tutu does and require that ToB be installed before installing the Watcher's Keep mod, but... yeah, it'd already be there. Link to comment

The biggest problem IMHO would be technical - missing OPCodes and all. Link to comment
Ghreyfain Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah, but that's because nobody wants to play NeJ. Har har is joke don't kill. Even if BioWare didn't crack down on a ToB-without-ToB mod, I'd still say ones time would be better spent elsewhere. Just tell people to buy ToB. It's not rare like PST or BG1 (is BG1 rare these days?). Link to comment

Kulyok Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 So, it could be done, but a bunch of interjections is probably not worth it? Okay, I think I understand. Thank you all very much. It is not my first priority, but if I manage it (not soon, though) I'll post here about the end result. Link to comment
