You can run it in parallel with one of the main ones till very late in the game (Chapter 5), Diriel's principal conflict does not culminate till then. I'm glad he does! And the portraits are incorporated into the mod. Again, I can't say enough how much I love them!

Actually both are partially romanceable, ie if you don't chose to pursue one of the main romances, you can have some romantic content with either one, and see what happens with it in the Epilogues. Diriel's outcome in particular is quite sensitive to what your PC elects to do romantically with him. Heck, if I were Obsidian I would have called it a full romance. (Insert the rolling on the floor laughing icon here). And yep, you have one particular poster, Kelenthial, to blame for it. Mrs.Cake kindly gave me the authorization to use the portraits as defaults, so they will be the ones you'll see in the mod, and NWN1 ones will be the alternative

Sweet!

Looks great now. Lady Alustriel herself shakes with envy.

I love that smile! She reminds me the Firefly's Kaylee! Do you think you will be able to make Peony's hair a brighter shade of light blue? (Ducks the stones) I know, I know, the whole forum can't hear another word about Peony's hair, but I swear, they are really important and supposed to be able to have a jaw-dropping effect. Edit: Nikosh is perfect!

Yep, it now looks much better! The absence of angled eyebrows and eyes is usually the 'humanizing' thing for me.

Heh, every time I pick my favorite you seem to come up with a better portrait. Hildury is perfect! The only thing that's off is Rizdaer's face. It looks too human, and a bit dead, but I know it's a tall order to get him right. If you decide to re-edit him though, maybe you will be able to do it after finishing the other four? Just so it does not become a stumbling block With difficulty? Well, actually, my wet dream is that people play both at some point, though my guess is that Rizdaer will be the first run-through romance for most players.

Great Prachi! You really managed to convey the motion and the unrest very well.

Oh, definetly, if I get the whole collection, I'll have them as default and NWN ones as an option. These are fitting the style of the game perfectly.

Oh, yep, those are perfect. The only thing I cannit-pick at is that there is a bit of odd green glow on Nord's plate

A healer class for PC includes paladins and rangers as well as clerics and druids. Other perfectly valid and mostly happy solutions are to play a female and romance Kivan, not ressurect Deheriana, not restore her, let Kivan depart at Demin's place, and take Aerie or Cernd along. Each way has its own outcome, it's not game-breaking. Now, the bugginess if it's there will have to be addressed, but I am not fond of the idea of producing a self-repairing Deheriana. There are some things that are simply beyound anyone's control. Even if they are Baahlspawns.

Uhm? No, that's about bringing Deheriana back to the world of living after she is brought forth from Arvanaith. You ressurect her first via Demin, everyone can do that - or talk Kivan out of it or send him on his way to Arvanaith. But to make her her old self again,you need a bit more of a special influence. Otherwise she expires from longing again. So that's what seems to be glitching for the PC.

I'll have to take a look. Healer class PC has to be able to have a talk with Deheriana and his intervention is supposed to count the same way Cernd's or Aerie's does. I don't remember now if the talk is Deheriana or PC initiated.

It's being worked upon now, so most likely there will be an option to get to Cloackwood forest any time you want.

I was thinking about it, but there is no bridge in Beregost.... I think I'd rather would have Cloakwood 1 open from the start of the game, but I don't know if it is possible. Besides, I think it's rather the "I'll show you what *true* love is, slime-ball!" reaction people get to Coran. He takes too much 'work' to turn him around, he will dump the PC if she missteps and all that. So I don't think it's his location really, but if anything can help poor boy at all. I mean at the very least the romantic challenges will be more viable....

Niche romance. I am more surprised that so little people like Coran, but well, that's life.

As long as you do no alterations, Herd's portrait was reserved for Kivan. If the alterations are to be made, then Herd's cooperation is essential. I'll send him a PM to let him know we are planning to put it into BG1 as well as BG2.

Well, are you sure you want it in BG1NPC, or do you want it in the Portrait Pack? The Portrait Pack may be more appropriate, though I guess we still have Imoen/Jaheira/Minsc/Viconia/Edwin section in BG1NPC? I have no problems with re-cropping the portrait, putting it in the BG1NPC(Portraits). It is made by Herd.

I'm not sure it's the size, as it shows up in BG2 without problems. But here is the 110x170 version just in case. http://members.shaw.ca/coran_t/P%23KI2M.bmp

Kulyok is right We can roughly estimate that about 6 % of people who play the mod regulary romance from comparing the dl numbers to the number of people who vote. I don't think that this is a correct number, as the bug reports often come for romances specifically.

IWD2 does not have the joinable NPCs. This mod when completed will add 10 as specified in the first post of this thread. Please read it for a detailed explanation.

Nope, but someone else most probably will.

Down with the Orc Archers, Fred!

It's jolly good to see you back to work, and he-he, I think that similar patch can be written for IWD2 itself making monsters less tough, lol! I know I would dl it in a heart-beat!

Yes (Sigh). But maybe a year or so down the road... The new NPCs nowadays are finally becoming what NPCs should be. I am obssessed about having friendship paths. It's sooo much better!
