I've invented a mod which makes Garren Windspear a joinable NPC. He'd have his own items, quests etc. He joins only when you've done the quest with his kid. If you haven't killed Firkraag he wants you to kill him in 10 days. If you don't do it he waits for you in Windspear Hills until you kill the dragon.

Things I can do myself:

-dialogs (though good banter ideas are welcome)
-scripting
-quest(s)
-items
-Polish version

Things that need help:

-portrait
-some good ideas
-translations

And I'm not good at writing biographies and ToB endings

For a portrait, you could try Sol Ek Sa which is located here, or scan the numerous BG-style portrait sites that are avaliable. "Divine Treasures" has alot of good ones.

Before you write the biography, try thinking about why exactly Garren would join with the PC. Consider the events within his past (the loss of his lands etc), and then fill in the blanks!

Also, what STAT's would he have?

The best way to do his stats would be to activate the cheat codes and CTR+Q him, in my opinion. Then you could stick with the game and his stats allready assigned.

Does sound a bit interesting.

Reasons to join your party:
1. !Dead("FIRKRA02") - he wants to help you to kill the dragon. You have to do it in 10 days. A charismatic character (17+) can lengthen it to 30 days.
2. Dead("FIRKRA02") - the danger is gone, kids are safe and he wants to travel with you.

Why do we want him joining us?

Don't count on it. The game has some... odd stats, occasionally. I once CTRL+Qd a rabbit into my party (I was bored) and well whaddayaknow! It had a whoopin' 20 STR and INT and such! Trolls were flying left and right when the tank-bunny carved a bloody path through the de'Arnise keep...

'course... the game soon crashed. Apparently, it didn't like having Level 2 Rabbits.

I don't need any graphics except the portrait. I'd be very grateful if you wrote a biography. It doesn't need to be a complete one. Just a base for further modifications.

And a ToB epilogue is welcome... I don't know how the epilogues work

[Lord-Jyssev]

i'll write one but i really don't want to do very much scripting, i am in a project of my own... would you like me to pm you with the bio?

That's true... the game does have odd stats for certain npcs. Some of them are surely dev jokes, like, say, the rabbit. But otherwise they can be just plain unbalanced and like the alignment bugs (lawful evil paladins), could be fixed if desired. Even with only SK if one insisted... that would be crazy tho. About the Garren mod then, the biography should probably consist of his past deeds, how he got the lands, what did he do in his past? The epilogue could tell of how he returned home as a hero or whatsover, maybe discovered something that had happened in his absence, good or bad.

Whatever about Oversight ?

Oh, I meant to type could be fixed like the alignment bugs.
