    Grey the Dog NPC


    Original idea for a dog companion, first kit draft with special abilities, first portrait: Rabain
    Everything else: jastey


    Grey is a full-fledged joinable NPC, but still a real dog. The only magic on him is his magically enchanted items.
    He has sensible interjections (Woof!), NPC banters (mostly NPC dialogues about him with the PC), a click dialogue (PID) if the PC feels like playing fetch or just needs someone to talk to. There are dialogue options that reflect the game story and I'll promise: Grey will always listen to your PC's woes. Grey initiates no dialogues so there is no friendship track and - I am really sorry, but no romance. Not even for Shapeshifters.
    In BG1 there are two small quests, both available in BG city. The quests are also available and solvable without Grey in party.
    Where appropriate, Grey can be told to "search" for missing persons, in BG1 Brage and farmer Brun's son, in SoD the five missing refugees. This is realized so it doesn't spoil the quests too much, though, so do not expect too much help.

    Grey can follow the group as a "7th party member". There are some quirks with this mode and also levelling up needs to be done by letting him join from time to time (please refer to readme), but it works great if you need the slot for another NPC without having to send Grey back home.

    Please note: So far, the mod officially contains full BG1 content and basic SoD content, but BGII content is not finished yet.


    Version 5 comes with a German version, compatibility with the Transitions Mod, proofreadings, bugfixes, and more support for Porject Infinity.

    Thank you to Gerri for the work on the German version and Caedwyr for partly proofreading the English version!


    Changes:

    -German version by Gerri, revised by jastey
    -English version partly proofread by Caedwyr
    -one crossmod banter added with Brage's Redemption.
    -Taerom will not talk about forging a weapon for Grey if the PC meets him for the very first time
    -Taerom's comment about the material for the canine enforcement makes it clear it's not to be found anywhere near.
    -HLA icons fixed
    -HLA descriptions fixed
    -Grey will receive HLAs
    -SoD: Added more randomness to how Grey is chosen in Thrix's game.
    -7th party member mode: will be removed correctly in case Grey rejoins via PID and kicked out completely directly after.
    -Compatibility with Transitions Mod added.
    -Added Dynamic Install Order categories to support Project Infinity.
