So there I was, thinking to myself - IWD needs joinable NPCs. BG2 has zounds of them, so why not show IWD a little love and write some for it myself?
So then I go searching for anything that will tell me yea or nay on whether it could be done, and how different from BG2 it would be.
..and look what I stumble upon!
Excellent work Kulyok, from what I see. As people have said, this is just what IWD needs. And from you, I know we can expect quality content.
As for what I expect...well, for one, immersiveness. Sure, offer alternative classes to balance out the party if necessary, but for me at least its more important
that the characters are realistic and 'flow' the way they should, something that happens best when the characters are free to match your concept of them.
And if the going gets tough, well...I'll deal =)
For two - backstory and depth of character persona is almost as important as immersiveness (actually it contributes to it). Again,
Oh, and the more banter, etc, the better. As long as everything makes sense and doesn't seem forced, its rather difficult to go overboard here =P
After that, things like voice acting are icing on the cake. They're usually nice to see, but they don't really make the mod what it is.
Anyway, I know I have a tendency to be a bit...verbose. Apologies. I'll be watching this mod *very* closely - and of course, if and when you need beta testers,
I offer my services if you'd have me.
