    Do you have SoD, too? Did you first install the DLC Merger?

    Which version of the game do you have? Should be most revent 2.6.6. Which version of the mod? Please post the contents of your weidu.log.

     

    Yes, I have SoD. I did install the merger as well. Game is on 2.6.6.

    I was installing the (newest?) v30 of the mod.

    I'll try to replicate this and send the log as I finally managed to get the mod to work yesterday by skipping the installation of two optional components of the mod - the bardic reputation and Kivan's proficiency tweak. I'm fairly sure it was one of those two that was cousing problems.

  2. Does anyone use the GOG version of BGEE? I'm having a problem launching the modded game.

     

    BG launches fine on it's own, after installing the mod nothing happens when I try to do it. No errors during the installation, nothing. The game just won't start? :(

  3. Salomeya is clever enough to be able to top a pc as well, so it would be quite an interesting little battle of wills going on.

    Yes indeed, but I would like an option to do something nasty to her when being a male and in a relationship with her - probably she wouldn't care too much, but still I would love to see her pissed off or just a bit humiliated (geez, can anyone even make her feel that way? :)), she deserves that just for ignoring my young and gorgeous tiefling bard!

     

    Oh, well, he got more love than he wanted from both Peony and Jaemal :)

  4. I voted Jaemal (someone surprised? ;)) for females and Peony for males. Why?

     

    Ok, so I just got to the end of my first-ever run through IWD2 with a lawful evil character, romancing Diriel...

     

    Wow, I never thought I will say this but this guy is going to be a loving husband and a caring father but...geez, he sure is ambitious - and we all know from history what happens to such people :)

     

    So, yeah, it was fun, now let me get back to Jaemal ;)

     

    As for Peony...she is just adorable, the kind of woman that takes care of you, is sweet to you, never pushes you away, cheers you up...a perfect match for me (if I was born a man of course :)).

     

    Cheers Domi, you are our hero! :D

  5. Nah, Mal is tall, Riz is short. :)

    The funny thing about me is that my imagination runs wild when I play such games. If I play and elf I imagine all "my men" slightly taller than me (only exeptions are the times it is stated in the dialog that Enter_name_here is a lot taller/shorter) no matter their race. If I am human or such, all elves I get involved with are quite tall for their kind, so to speak ;)

     

    So Riz is at least my hight and 'Mal slightly taller by my book.

    But yeah, I know I tend to be strange. :(

  6. P.S: Salomeya means that you are paladin's child on that screenshot, not a paladin yourself. The wording was changed, she does not use paladinling any longer. :)

    Oh, I am quite aware of that. I was just wondering if all player characters will have the same background - being a paladin's child. Because a tiefling/drow/half-orc/whatever-comes-in-mind-that-doesn't-fit-to-be-a-paladin is not likley to have a lawful good knight as a parent :)

  7. Yup, I agree with Kelenthial - faster with it! I'm already watching the box with my IWD2 copy like a hungry dog would watch "forgotten" piece of beefsteak

     

    Yeah. The last moments are always the most trying...

    For both sides, I am sure :)

  8. A question has been bugging me for some time but couldn't find the right place to post it...well, don't kill me, but I noticed this thread a couple of days ago (silly, silly and blind me :))

     

    About the biography...will we see all the old ones dependent on our class or will there be new ones? Or all characters will get only one (the one Salomeya is refering to in the screenshot teaser, about the PC being a child of a paladin)?

     

    Asking because it seems fairly important if the NPCs are going to refer to it, and I have no info about it (nor did I play a paladin in IWD2 so I don't know what biography do they get).

     

    Errr...well, that's all I guess :)

  9. Don't want to turn this topic completly...off-topic...but since we started :)

     

    I must say that I would be actually tempted to romance a guy like Rizdaer (in the personality area, not the homocidical one, lol... ) in The Life of Real, and I would probably give it a try. With Diriel... Hm, I don't think so. Why? There is one thing I am no lacking and absolutely can't imagine my partner lacking: tolerance. A chauvinistic or racist guy has no chances with me. In the fantasy setting people can change their alignments and more absurd views, however I don't believe in a true change of heart here, on the other side of the mirror.

    In real life I would stick to someone more like me. That is why in rpgs my first choice is a good guy, a little shy and, what is most important, caring (damn you Jaheira, give me back Khalid! :)). Now, I imagine Jaemal will be my all time favorite, judging from what I have seen thus far.

     

    And most definitley my first choice in a run-through. Mostly because of his lovley portrait :)

     

    As for the bad guys...

    They are fun to play, that's for sure and the reason I play evil in rpgs (because the plot never actually makes sense for my lawful/chaotic evil characters).

     

    Since my off-topicness is running wild I will only add...

     

    The truth is that no girl would ever let a guy like that even near in real life, but since it's a game and you can roleplay a woman that is more like a Black Widow than a human (elf/orc/dwarf/whatever) than why not spice up your life with a man that is as bad as you?

     

    Actually, most of them believe in the cliche 'he is not evil, just misunderstood'. And: 'if he only would get enough lovin' he would turn out a good guy in the end'.

    Then I hope those girls will grow up FAST before they meet someone like this.

     

    ...and finally close my mouth (errr...get away from the keybord I mean :) )

  10. Though, to be honest, I think Diriel is one of those chars one has to see in the game to decide if they like him or not. I don't know just how easy it is to love him, but I am pretty certain it is easy to hate him.

     

     

    On the one hand, you are right. On the other hand, when I see that *really a lots of fangirls* whine at the NWN2 forums that they SO LOVE Bishop and simply HAVE to romance him, all of my doubts as to Diriel's eventual popularity dissolve into thin air...^^'

    The truth is that no girl would ever let a guy like that even near in real life, but since it's a game and you can roleplay a woman that is more like a Black Widow than a human (elf/orc/dwarf/whatever) than why not spice up your life with a man that is as bad as you? :)

     

    But on the other hand Riz looks like everything such a woman might ever wish for (and still have Diriel for supper :))

  11. I like it! He has a dark, sinister aura in this one, and everything looks very much in place - well, for me, I mean.

    True, but I'll still stick to the lighter, blond version - more drowish :)

    Especially now when he has that lovley greyish shade (ashish? :)) on his head :)

     

    Too many smilies, I know :)

  12. Well, I am not an expert when it comes to drow, but their hair colour tends to be even brighter I guess, from snowy-white to dark shades of grey. Blond also is quite common but I don't know if it is his natural hair-colour or it is just dyed to make Rizdaer look like a half-drow?

     

    I think Mrs.Cake was matching the original edit we had coloring-wise, so yep, it's a half-drow version of Rizdaer.

    But he didn't have to dye his hair, right? He could, but wouldn't have to unless you decided so :)

    It could be that he is a natural blond (no joke intended) and that is why he attempted to pass for a half-drow in the first place but he also had to be of lighter carnation for that I guess - and he is, looking at the portrait, because in the FR books we read about onyx-like skin colour (or was it obsidian...? :) ) and judging from skin tones we can pick for drow in the game (also look=>NWN2) I would say even pure dark elves may have a bit "normal" color to it (a bit healthy pink in it :) )

     

    So still I believe everything is right with the portrait.

     

    Oh, and I do hope somebody understands me, it's 1:30am on my clock and I am pushing my mind to go on :)

  13. I can see it here, and I couldn't(still can't) see it on the main page. But - I don't know, it might be just me, but the hair looks slightly out of place here, a little - maybe because it is too bright, and the skin is much darker?

    Well, I am not an expert when it comes to drow, but their hair colour tends to be even brighter I guess, from snowy-white to dark shades of grey. Blond also is quite common but I don't know if it is his natural hair-colour or it is just dyed to make Rizdaer look like a half-drow?

     

    It looks fine by my book :)

  14. Fantastic portraits MrsCake! :)

    Diriel has that "don't even bother talkin' to me" expression, it's just priceless and Peony looks sooo adoring! She's my best friend ever already! :)

     

    Oh, and is it my imagination or Valeero actually reminds me of someone? :)
