I've been very busy for the past couple if weeks studing for and taking my qualification test for the Air Force. I have a little over a week of free time before I get to study for the *next* volume of the test. I'm looking forward to that like I would a root canal.
Now, to address some points...
... by the end SoA she offers to make you her knew master/mistress (A.K.A)
Making you a vampire. Or in ToB in the beginning she offers the same offer
because in my mind the only way she would see you nothing more than a divine cattle is a divine master/mistress.
I don't plan on making the PC a vampire, I think the PC has enough complexity without adding all the complications of vampirism on him/her both from a development and storyline perspective.
Hey Thorium Dragon:
Do you have any alpha testers of your mod or beta testers for I for one would be like... Need Valen Mod to complete my Bg2 experience....
So i'd be glad to update you on whatever I find or go through the mod. :rolleyes:
Though if you don't want me to test, I would be incredibly :angry: .......
Yah well I thought with the coffin/urn thingy, what happens if valen has it on her and she goes... well poof??
I'm not at that point yet, but hopefully I won't need to beta test. I appreciate the offer though.
As for the urn, the PC will hold it.
Ideas
I would think that the vampire slayers would come in ToB in the oasis or the drow forest, it would probably make the best way, have it like 4.5 million exp they come in, and then make them a tad bit stronger.
Have more than one group of vampire slayers, like one come in at the very beginning, and they are like a newbie group trying to erradicate the undead.
you know, make valen and the pc a little more infamous, for I know Helsing Buffy Faith etc... there would be more than one group of slayers to attack the team. It just doesn't make sense that there would be only one group of slayers ever to attack a "legendary vampire"
More and better slayers? A possibility.
When Having Valen in the party and the romance "continues" and you are romancing viconia, I'd think they wouldn't see eye to eye on who should have the pc. Viconia being an evil cleric could cower/control the undead while valen would see her as just cattle trying to rise above its station.
The relationship between Valen, Viconia, and the PC is something I look forward to exploring.
(what I am trying to say is "Have Valen kill her in her sleep" PLEASE!!!!
No.
Players spend a lot of time customizing their NPCs with equipment and skills- I think many would feel ripped off by an NPC death in this fashion ( I know I would)
Also have something like a will counter, matters through the dialogue, "is that the farther she is away from her mistress, and what you say on the dialogue the more "free will" she'd have. So if you have collected enough will counters for her a "romance" might occur in ToB
The mod will have a few different "counters" that the PC used to "push" Valen in different directions.
Does Valen have dialogue about the pc's stronghold?
Yes.
instead of fighting Gax if she opens and free's Gax, the party gets a boon for she is undead instead of fighting him, and may also give a few missions, siding with Gax might be fun.
I see Gax as pretty much beyond barganing/reasoning with.
Anyone who mentions buffy or takes that programme remotely seriously needs to be sectioned.
I resisted Buffy and Angel for years until a friend got me into them. I think they are both excellent shows with an amazing ability to develop characters. However, I don't use either show as inspiration for Valen.
