Extended Waukeen's Promenade Cutscene
« on: June 07, 2004, 09:44:08 PM »
@16802- [SOUND IRENIC08] Child, you escape? I did not forsee this! I am not done with you! You.. you have angered me! Do you know what that takes!?

This one confused me. I don't remember him -ever- saying anything like this -anywhere-.

Hmmm... that is interesting. It appears to be related to string @16805, both of which have a voice clip and both of which are contained in csiren.dlg. Even more files can be referenced, namely csgayl.dlg and cut01b.bcs.

It seems that there was an alternate, longer cutscene that was supposed to take place on the Promenade. This is something we'll definitely look into.

@16805- [SOUND IRENIC09]Rage! Hate! This is your death! I will end your petty little lives!

 Sounds like Irenicus has finally lost it.

All the existing UB components are entirely optional, so obviously this one would be as well (regardless of the repetition factor).

I thought the black rogue was the guy who went to tell Aran linvail what had happened with the attacking of Irenicus and how it went *SPLAT*

To me, I thought it was obvious that the guy in black leaving the gaping hole in the Promenade was Yoshimo (a male thief dressed in black) escaping CI the same time as you.

Actually, though, is he there leaving when Yoshimo is actually IN your party? I normally escape CI solo.

He's there even if you have Yoshimo.

And besides, Yoshi dresses in brown, whereas this thief is all in black.

Besides, that thief's creature name is something like "gaelan", so the confusion isn't really possible.

I always thought that guy was gaelan bayle, would make sense anyway, how else could he learn so fast from imoens capture? ( he could have hidden behind some tent/building, watched the whole scene play out and talk to you later in the slums).
Its hard for me to explain otherwise how he could know of everything that fast if you walk right from CI into the slums. (especially when using haste  )

Hm... Maybe Gaelan was supposed to talk to you right after the Promenade scene, and tell you to meet him in the slums district (hence the "yes, show me to your home" line that we never see). Would give the player a reason to visit the slums first, other than them being the only accessible area at that time.

Extra Imoen line...
« Reply #11 on: October 16, 2004, 06:47:47 AM »
During some browsing I noticed a dialogue file called CSIMOEN, which presumably is for the Imoen you see in the 'So you have escaped, you are more resourceful than I had thought' cutscene.  It plays a voiced Imoen line that reads 'That's... that's him! That's the guy that hurt me! Hurt us! I won't let him do it again!' (CSIMO65 is the wav) and then runs the standard sequence for after you've left CI.

I don't think I've ever seen this line in game...

I've also seen a dialogue file CSIREN which appears to be Irenicus cutscene dialogue.  One of which is basically the aforementioned cutscene but as a dialogue.  The others are... interesting.

1st dialogue:

[SOUND IRENIC02] You dare attack me here?! Do you even know whom you face?!
[SOUND GAELEN36] We know of your treachery, Irenicus! Where have you taken our brethren?!
[SOUND IRENIC07] You know nothing of me! You know nothing of what I must do! You will suffer! You will all suffer!
[SOUND GAELEN37] Men! Kill him!

2nd dialogue:

[SOUND IRENIC08] Child, you escape? I did not forsee this! I am not done with you! You.. you have angered me! Do you know what that takes!?

3rd dialogue (its just the cutscene as a dialogue):

[SOUND DPJON129] Enough!  I haven't the time for this!
[SOUND CSCO701A] You will cease your spellcasting and come with us!
...
[SOUND CSCO704A] You have been involved in illegal use of magic.  You will come with us!
[SOUND CSIMO67] I'm not going with him! I'm not! Help me! Please!

Maybe part of the original Promenade cutscene? (The one with Gaelan Bayle and all)

That's basically what the thread concluded. There was also discussion that Gaelan might have been meant to stick around and direct the PC to the slums from there, which would explain why you *have* to visit the slums first..

Almost makes it sound like Irenicus was a former Cowlie, doesn't it? Makes sense, since there wasn't a point to this cutscene before Bioware came up with the Spellhold idea...

Actually, with Gaelen saying those lines to him, it makes it sound more like he was working with the Shadow Thieves at some point.
