It had been moved to the UB Workroom awhile back, but, seeing as how no one was too big on the idea, it's been all but dismissed. 

The link should work now, however.

I get this message following that link: " The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."

Searching on "Aerie kidnap" I got a number of links like that.  This thread has it listed as an item but the item's link is dead: http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php?topic=15584.0

I don't remember a cut Aerie kidnapping... where were you reading this?

(note: it could just be me being dense)

Any chance of it ever being added? I just read about it and the fact that no one's really working on it, and I for one would really like to see it, especially the being turned into a bird thing. A sad end to a romance sounds pretty awesome. I know it would be a lot of work, but maybe it'll get added one day...?

Hmmm... Perhaps it would be good. But then again, isn't the whole point of the Aerie Romance to convince her she doesn't need her wings to be happy? Or sumthin.

This seems to be one of those would be nice to have....but I always imagined that this might fit better after the BG II saga or towards the end of it (for instance it's too bad the PC before choosing to become a god says something to Aerie like 'you know if I become a god I could give you your wings bacK" and in Aerie's epilogue this never seems to happen)

It would involve some pretty big changes, though, including a non-stuttering soundset. And I doubt Katie Soucie works for free...

Pondering?  Surely there is nothing here to ponder?  To me, the Aerie was always the weakest romance, something that appealed to my wish to do good, but ultimately pittering out into nothing.  I've read about this elsewhere, and i'm sure i'm not the only one who feels this way.  It seems to be a romantic, classical end to the romance, and should be restored.  I understand that there is much effort involved in endeavours like this, but to not restore this would be to keep an ingenous game component under wraps.

It's on our to-do list, but we're pondering whether it should be restored after all.

Fist of, thank you for this wonderful mod. I downloaded version 9 and installed most components. Very nicely done! To expand and keep the spirit of the game is something very difficult and this mod manages it perfectly well.

This brings me to the point: I remember having heard that Aerie was supposed to have a dialogue concerning a transformation into bird. Does anybody know somthing about this? Would this be something interesting for the UB mod?

Another argument against the transformation part is that turning into a bird forever just to get the chance to fly again doesn't really seem like something a mage, however desperate, would do when Fly is a third-level spell...

(no, the spell isn't possible to implement in the game, but I would hate to see a character I like driven to madness by a limitation of the game engine :p )

Well, I was looking at it as one idea, but if you want to break it down that way, I'm more strongly anti-transformation. The kidnapping runs the risk of overplaying the "abduct an important NPC" card concept, and then there's the "does it make sense for Aerie as she ended up, or as she was conceived of being back when she had clown makeup?" issue, etc.

The transformation thing, in my mind, weakens a lot of Aerie's learning process if we're expected to believe she would want to go ahead with it. I don't know, maybe in a Rep 4 party that's killed Quayle, or maybe on hour 23 of Aerie's "ditch Korgan" ultimatum, maybe then Aerie would see becoming a bird as superior to being a grounded humanoid, but beyond that...

Again, I just don't see it as nearly as compelling as the other stuff UB's restored.

I don't know about Jason...but I think the kidnapping idea sucks.  (Not that that should stop you from putting it in, of course.)  The transformation idea sounds a lot more interesting to me, if I have to pick one.
