Things you wish were in a MOD!

Remove all ads!

While discovering MODS your mind is inevitably drawn to what you would like to see. And many conversations here include a line like "I wish they had this in a mod". In fact I just had one in another topic where I said

"Wouldn't it be great though if there was a plot involving helping the D man? Especially if it involved Dridders. I miss Dridders! "
(The D man is Drizzt by the way).

So what would you like to see in a Mod, in the realms of plot lines, NPC's, interactions, romances, items etc?

 

A F/T NPC on par with the vanilla game. The only 2 I know of are Valen the vampire spawn and my own.

 

kirando/garrick/knight lady quest!
coran as joinable npc ;( i love that guy

 

I'll third AND fourth this idea. Bring back Coran!!!

 

So many players want a F/T (or even a normal thief) in some mod. I don't understand how this as a (multi) class got overlooked.

 

Mansur NPC is in progress at BWL site. He is a dual-class (not multy-class) Berserker-Thief. The mod has a long and complicated story-line which delays its release. Here I quote from Mansur's introduction:

 

Actually, I was in the outlining stages of a mod that would involve helping Drizzt and his sister Vierna (the one who showed the less evil from the books). After you help them, Drizzt and or Vierna will join your party and romance the PC (female for Drizzt, and female/male for Vierna).

The mod was going to be huge however, introducing two NPCs with 3 sub quests each, new areas, new creatures, full voicing, inter/outer-party banter, flirts, and even a few non-bioware NPC interactions.

But I decided not to commit to it for several reasons. First and foremost, I found that the majority of people are *sick* of hearing about Drizzt. There was my limited knowledge of WeiDU, and I'd need someone to create the new areas, someone who can sound like Drizzt to complete his voicing, and a someone to do Vierna's voicing.
So I have the overview and steps to completion doc just sitting on my HDD gathering virtual dust.


Bus for something more on-topic, I'd like to see a mod that introduces a major battle that's not a joke. Similar to the Oasis, it would have several levels of fighters, clerics, and a few mages. Some would be insta-killed from a horrid wilting spell, but the vast majority would be able to do some real damage. Not to overwhelm the party, the battle would come in waves of reinforcements, each becoming more difficult as the battle progresses. After slicing and dicing enough of the enemy, the commanders of the army will approach and offer a full surrender, but at the last second, the head commander will try to get a cheap shot in (takes 25% of PC's HP). Once you kill him, you can either simmer down and accept the surrender from the other commanders or decide to kill them too.

Besides that, I would like to see a single compilation pack of all the various popular mods with a good installer. Sure the initial size would be large, but once installer for Kelsey SoA and ToB, Tactics, EoU, Saerilith, Quest Packs, Flirt Packs, Banter Packs, and a dozen of other mods all packed together in one installation would be awesome. A basic GUI would be nice too. You know, something with a small picture and a *good* description of of what entity of what mod you're currently installing. In theory, this would eliminate the XY mod f***ed up my YZ mod, or any other issues (like having Sola v.6 or later installed before installing Kelsey).

Over at Gibberlings3, a new mod called Amber is hosted. She's a tiefling fighter-thief dual class. She's at v1.1 if memory serves, although you may wish to hold off downloading until the next version if you intend romancing her- there's currently a bug that seems to prevent the love talks from starting and the global has to be set manually.

Here's the address if you are interested:
