Okay, I'm just curious what other kinds of dialogues would you guys like to see...

I would like to get at least one class specific done for Tashia (i.e...one special to fighter, one special to mage) and I realize that the one I have for the thief isn't too in depth...

And if you are wondering whether these will be incorporated into the game, a while back on another thread, Maus said he would be willing to put in other changes if they were requested and he was able to do so. Right now he is debugging the SoA, so that needs to be done first.

For the curious, I have tried to create do at least one new Banter to each NPC with Tashia (17 altogether, including Sarvok), as well as 2 individual banters for her, and some romance dialogues (8 total some for ToB)

"I read about the evils of drinking, so I gave it up." "You gave up drinking?" "No, I gave up reading..."

First and foremost:

:D Thank you, Bri & Maus, for keeping this mod alive!

A couple of ideas for interjections... I think Tashia would definitely want to drop a comment after seeing her statue in Trademeet.

Does Tashia have any dialogue with the elf-hater in Waukeen's promenade? If not, maybe she could mess with him by making her pointy ears disappear and convincing him she's actually a human.

I'll post more if I think of any.

Why is this Hypnotoad video so popu... ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Thanks, but Maus is doing more for the Mod than I am...

Dialogue is easy...

Hmm...you are right, I could certainly do some smaller banters along the way, especially the elf hater...I will consider something...

Heh...my own brain has kinda gone on vacation the last 3-4 days from the stuff I was crafting...

Something I would like to do, though, is maybe have an encounter where the main character can find a special little something for Tashia (yeah, the one part of Anomen's romance that I really liked is when he gives his sister's ring to the female Main Char.)

"I read about the evils of drinking, so I gave it up." "You gave up drinking?" "No, I gave up reading..."

Maybe I'm weird, but sometimes I or a friend of mine will come up with a line for a character in a game or TV show or whatever and THAT LINE seems to embody everything that character is about.

Anyway, when I thought about Tashia and what she's like, it seems to me that this one-liner/insult is really begging to be put in:

"Ewww, Korgan. Even your farts have farts!"

*grins*

What can I say, but that's very funny "Eww Korgan...even your farts have farts..."...and I can see where it would apply to Tashia.

I will see where I can incorporate it...damn real life stuff, though...as well as a 2 day case of writer's block...and I thought I was doing so well with new material...ah well....

"I read about the evils of drinking, so I gave it up." "You gave up drinking?" "No, I gave up reading..."

I figured it would fit in her random stringhead stuff (like "Jaheira, you snore" and all the other places she tells people they suck.)

Yes, there is that...in this case it would certainly fit.

Do people that snore, suck? :huh:

I played the game with Tashia before and really enjoyed the mod. I'm about to start a new game and was wondering if the add ins your working on are anywhere close to completion.

Are we having any improvements to the flirting? because I think it needs to be brought upto date with other flirtbased mods.

To Theodur:
*grins* I normally don't think that those who snore suck...but Tashia, on the other hand, is a very heavy sleeper. Some of the strings she says when she gets up are along the lines of "3-4 hours more please"...

To Rich:
Quick answer: Not in the immediate future (i.e. not in the next week, for example). There are several reasons for this. The first is that I want to finish making a series of dialogues that are class specific for Tashia and the main character, and as Grim Squeaker and several others see, I only have the Bard and Thief done (and the thief was done a while back). I have definite ideas for the Paladin and Mage in major work, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed to have them up today. I also have a fairly good idea what to do with the Fighter and Druid, drawing a blank on the Ranger, think I might have a handle for the Monk, and dreading the Cleric...

Anyways, the reason more aren't done is due to that major factor: real life...not to mention the heat sometimes gets to me. But if I focus on this, as I mentioned I should be able to wrap it up.

That said, there are other things I need to do overall, which is edit the various scripts (for example, I'm not comfortable with the Tashia-Keldorn one I did...maybe cuz I shouldn't detail his past like that, since most of the other banters are more...general). As well as if I get any last minute inspiration...and that's just on my end. Additionally, that doesn't mean anything else I work on will stay the same throughout as well...heh...little did I realize that when Maus said he would put in additions I would try to offer so many.

On the other end, there is Maus who is debugging the SoA part of Tashia...once that's done, then we will see about implementing these ideas as well...and of course, he is busy with real life as well. (I would offer to do it myself, but I'm slowly learning WeiDu so I could create my own module...)

To Grim Squeaker:
Certainly we have talked about adding new flirts, and in fact, I may start a new thread for ideas, but that will be done at the end...and if Maus still feels like it as well.

But yes, there are a few flirts I would like to do...definitely...

"I read about the evils of drinking, so I gave it up." "You gave up drinking?" "No, I gave up reading..."

Hmm, I was always confused to wether Tashia is an elf of half-elf. If she is an elf, she would be reveriing more often than sleeping.

*hugs her Player's Handbook to Elves*

Correct, Tashia is an elf...and as a result, she would be undergoing Reverie...

However, I didn't catch any references by Bioware on the matter of Reverie...

"I read about the evils of drinking, so I gave it up." "You gave up drinking?" "No, I gave up reading..."

No worries...

And it could be something to explore in a dialogue, but for the most part, some things usually do get cut in translation from pen and paper to computer format ;-)

"I read about the evils of drinking, so I gave it up." "You gave up drinking?" "No, I gave up reading..."

Actually, elves can sleep just like the other races, it is just that they don't have to (reverie is more convenient, I think) - but when the rest of the party is sleeping, I guess it is only polite to join them...

I remember playing Tashia once, some time ago and I was really glad that finally I could have two romance options in my party without them going ballistic on each other - actually, she and Jaheira got along very well and had some very friendly banters :) And for some reason in ToB Jaheira decided that she is being romanced too so in the end it turned out a very friendly threesome... :blink: :rolleyes: :lol: oh, well... my PC of course was ecstatic about that fact, that silly boy... :D

Even though elves can sleep and dream, I think it is generally more prefereable for them to reverie - that's the way they keep hold on their identity additionaly to the benefit of the rest and relaxation.

*ponders about Reverie*

At least one can relive their greatest orgasm I suppose...

And Theodur, there are herbs that Jaheira is certain to know about that would help the MainChar keep up...his strength...

"I read about the evils of drinking, so I gave it up." "You gave up drinking?" "No, I gave up reading..."

*grins* Well, you guessed one of the possible dialogue branches I had in mind for a Druid character ;-)

"I read about the evils of drinking, so I gave it up." "You gave up drinking?" "No, I gave up reading..."
