Baldur's Gate Unfinished Business sees the light of day! More info available on the BG1UB site.
I may have mislead you here. Kelsey isn't a "college student" because of his vocabulary. He's a "college student" because I like ribbing Jason about Lisa's article.
I think that there really *are* possible different lines for "boy-friend".QuoteIf Kelsey asked "Does she have an intended?" ... doesn't work.
Ugh. No, it doesn't.
Well, my understanding was that Kelsey was originally labled by Lisa as a college student due to his speach. Otherwise I am lost. What, he casts like a college student? Or he dyes his hair red and wears purple cloak in a manner a college student would should he be teleported to FR?No, no. You see, Kelsey's portrait was designed using an altered photo of jcompton. Lisa assumed jcompton was a college student - though he's actually much older. Hence, she had a line in her article that suddenly, her party consisted of fighter, cleric, thief and college student.
For the parts of the conversations where multiple interesting opinions occurred to me at the time, there are more than two branches. Summoning=Slavery has 3, Born-With-Evil has 4, Hand-In-Fire has 5, Take-My-Hand has 6, etc.
If you saw this comment more than once per game:
@192 = ~Come, CHARNAME, and walk beside me beneath the leaves.~
... there was a serious bug somewhere. It should show up exactly once, total. Can you describe in more detail what happened?

WW already tries to cut down on number of available options generally going for 2 choices, not customary in-game 3 (good girl, bad girl, funny girl) or more. As a player you see 1/4 to 1/3 of the full dialogue (unless you are a student of WW/JC and pour over the d-files).For the parts of the conversations where multiple interesting opinions occurred to me at the time, there are more than two branches.

I am sure WW meant well, inserting the comment about walking under the leaves. He did not mean for me to scream when I saw it for the fifth time in the row and he could not have an option I craved - to tell Sola to go hung
himself on a branch under the leaves.
Kelsey is no more of a college student than Cernd, Valygar, Imoen or Jaheira for example, they all use rather "normal" language. Besides, BG2 is the translation from Common tongue anyway...
Which would not sound to my screwed up ESL ear any less modern than "does she have a boyfriend?"QuoteIf Kelsey asked "Does she have an intended?" ... doesn't work.You could just reuse (slightly modified) Kelsey's "So, is there anyone, you know special, in her life?" line. It's not like a male PC would (generally) see that line anyhow.
