But do the monks become hostile to CE characters or something? Glurk will die before he can get out unless I wait for his location to get reset.

The monks shouldn't be hostile to you. You didn't kill a badger or something did you?

Jam, how can we use the reputation system from BG in NWN? I suppose the easiest way is just to have shopkeepers, etc. less favourable to evil characters, and than use the alignment points system to reflect the rep, but I'm not happy that that is an appropriate method for BG. After all, it would just end up with a world full of LG characters, and no-one wanting to roleplay evil.
I'll volunteer myself as chief spell-checker if anyone has got to the stage of writing dialogue yet.

While I'm putting off my Roman Civ paper... a few more item ideas for Folderol.

Thinking Cap
Helmet
Skill Bonus: Concentration +12
Skill Bonus: Lore +12
Ability Bonus: Intelligence +4
Skill Penalty: Listen -8
Skill Penalty: Spot -8
Skill Penalty: Search -8

Enhancement Bonus +5
Decreased AC: -7
Damage Vulnerability: [same melee damage type as weapon] 20%

Ridiculously Huge Sword
Greatsword
Increased Weight +100%
Enhancement Bonus +4
Decreased AC -6
(hey, not everyone can wield a big-ass sword like Cloud does and NOT fall off-balance sometime...)

I'm using the same system as BG - a high rep will give you discounts in the shops, a low rep will give you extra cost in the shops, and a very low rep will mean the Flaming Fists turn up. Alignment will, like BG, only affect the starting value of reputation. I'll add a widget so you can check your reputation at any time.

That's very nice of you, but I'm using the original dialogue and just copy-and-pasting it. I hope I can do that without screwing up the spellings. I might leave all the original typos in, I might fix stuff. What say ye?

Erm... probably about 3% But there are a lot of things going on in Candlekeep, more than any other map untill we reach Beregost. I've done all the NPC scripting... heh, by the end of tommorrow I hope to be as far into the game as the abortive attempt someone else made on the NWN Vault.

I looked at it but they can't code for ****, and they used a 250mb hak which I think is a bit excessive really. But let's not pretend that I didn't consider it. It would have been MORE work though.

hehe cool.

what would really be ambitious is doing BG2 and expansion. . But that's okay. I can play the original game, which I'm doing right not. I'm doing a solo run through BG2 with a F/M/T.

It sounds as though you're just doing an SP version then. Well, not a PW at any rate. I was more interested in writing some "original" content, beefing up certain monsters, and chucking in extra stupid gags. We want it to go into the "humorous" (sic ) section of the NWVault don't we?

By way of encouraging more people to roleplay, I suggest the inclusion of some w00tly magic items restrcited to evil and/or chaotic, without the usual sap of having the same for goody-goodies.

And the Flaming Fists have to be absolutely unbeatable until at least level 10 or 12! No matter how much cheese someone applies.

You know damn well that the first 20 pages of comments on the mod are going to be "Why is this different" and "Why is that different" without me making it worse Of course I'm not plagiarising BG1 - I'm completely copying it. That's the point.

Now, in BG1 there are no monks, sorcs, rapiers, katanas etc... are people going to moan if they don't find any kukris? I don't mean any MAGIC kukris, I mean NO kukris. The only exotic weapons are bastardswords.

I'm having fun beating up hobgoblins and ankhegs with my 6-strong party at the moment I'm making a few more monsters than there were in the original. Do you have any idea how much of BG1 is just empty space? Its insane! It needs filling with about 50% more baddies than the original version.

You're gonna love the hench scripts

I like empty space. I like exploring.

I made a thread in the bioware Dragon Age forums asking for a larger game world. The builders/designers said that wasn't going to happen. I expect it to be like KOTOR- which I feel is too small. Oh well. I'll probably still buy it if it's good, which it probably will be.
