Great! I will play as a woman just for this mod. I hope, that it will work with EE...

[Kaeloree]

BG2:EE is still a ways off yet (probably mid 2013 I would guess), but I plan on doing my best to ensure our mods here at SHS are all compatible!

[Echo]

How in the worlds have I missed this mod being in development? This is my childhood BG dream coming true! I've been waiting for this mod for over 8 years to happen. AND NOW IT'S HAPPENING?! What!

EDIT: to hell with this mod! xD I was supposed to write and work on my bachelor degree, I finally got myself to start and now I woke up today and my mind's singing me a chant 'install bg install bg install bg'! Why am I so weak? *takes out installation CDs*



I'll edit this again, not to spam, but:

1. I forgot to say THANKS. THANKSSS!!

2. I just saw your other mods and I remember playing one of them and enjoying it a lot :3 Is there a "cross-over" between Haer'dalis and RE?

3. Any possible estimate until ToB part arrives? It seems to be mostly done, doesn't it? I wonder if I will catch up with SoA just as it's released or will I have to wait >D

4. Since I play heavily modded BG and that adds a lot of game-time, is it possible to adjust the love-talks to trigger less often than 20 minutes? 40 or so would be nice. Unless there's that option in there already I tend to do a lot done before I move to Spellhold [and I do it slowly because I savor my beloved game or suffer through some ridiculously difficult fight from one mod or the other xD] and I wouldn't want to run out of talks too soon <3 Although I remember long time ago I used to turn off my screen and pause the game waiting for a talk with some of the vanilla NPCs. I'd go do other things until I heard the LT music before coming back to PC. I was so silly!

1 - You're welcome!

2 - A little, but he's not the jealous type, so unlike some other RE reactions, he's not going to end it if the PC messes around.

3 - Uh, I can't really say. The writing is almost wrapped up, but has been paused since my last update thanks to a massive attack from reality (car blew up, cat's lung collapsed, juggling all four kids alone with no car while husband is out of town on business, and that's just the fun parts!). I'm tentatively hopeful my part can be done within the next two weeks, but then comes K'aeloree's part of making all the pieces fit together, and I know he has a lot going. It's possible it could be released soon-ish, but I'm a pessimist and I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

4 - Not that I know of, but I'm not good at the technical bits.

UPDATE: Got back into writing a bit today, so hopefully I'll be able to report some real progress in the next few days. Then again, my sister turns 40 tomorrow and she appears to be having a nervous breakdown over it, so I might be busy.

[IceDragon]

Excited! can't wait for the newness and I hope RL gets better for you soon.

smiles,
Ice

[Echo]

Aw I'm sorry about kitty! *virtual hug* I hope s/he will be alright.

And oh my gods, you have four kids and TIME to do other things? I'm officially impressed, Aeryn!



I'll be keeping my thumbs crossed for ToB being out soonish then. I've installed BG and I'll play through and I will suuufffer when I'm done and can't play ToB Though it is kind of a good thing it's not out today or I'd feel like rushing through SoA again and die to some buffed boss...



As for sister, 40 is the new 30. Give her "Cougar Town" to watch, it's warm, funny, and very much on subject in the first episode ^^

Yeah, my kitty Wesley is going to be okay. He'll need monthly meds for the rest of his life, but he should have a lot of good, healthy years ahead of him. Which is a good thing considering he's like my firstborn kid to me and I was having a literal panic attack when he started crawling around, gasping for breath. Not fun. And as for my sister, she apparently got a few gallons of alcohol as birthday gifts, so...crisis averted!

UPDATE: Making good headway on a large chunk of writing for the semi-super-secret bit I've been chipping away on. And I can say with certainty that there's more MA rated stuff in ToB than there was in SoA... Still have at least two other dialogs to do that I haven't even started, and about half of the secret thing, though I think the easier half is the one I still need to write so it should go quicker. Knock on friggin' wood.

[IceDragon]

Sweet action! can't wait keep up the good work.

[AmyAE]

Glad to hear your cat is OK!

I am too excited to find out what this super secret thing is...

Glad to hear he's going to be all right! I know I'm upset if any of my pets is hurt, so I can imagine!

[Aeryn]

It was shocking because he's always been healthy, so I went straight to panic mode. Since getting on medication, though, it's like he's 10 years younger again - even instigates play with the kitten on his own! It's fantastic.

UPDATE: Super secret bits are done! Have to edit the crap out of it tomorrow, but I'm feeling good about it. Hoping to be able to focus and get the last little bits tied up this weekend.

[Cal Jones]

Glad Wesley's OK. As for your sister, tell her not to worry about it - it's just another orbit around the Sun. Been there, done that! Anyway, good on you for keeping this going despite RL getting in the way. Looking forward to it very much.

[Echo]

What, super secret?! MUST KNOW.

By the way, since I've finally got a running version of BG, I came to tell you I'm enjoying the mod a lot so far ^^ The only thing I could ask for is, you guessed it probably, MOAR CONTENT That's a good thing, means I like the present one :>

There are few quests/encounters in the game where I feel Haer'dalis would really like to say something, I don't know if you'll be revisiting the SoA content, but if you were, would you consider adding a line here or there? I personally love companions who don't seem like mindless drones (hence I have all the vanilla-NPC-expanding gizmos) ^^

Very curious how the romance will progress further, but seeing the pace at which I move in game [tough mods... those trolls me handin' me my ass back on a silver platter still xD not to mention mages] I will have a to wait a little till Spellhold talks trigger Maybe ToB will be done by the time I'm actually ready to pass onto it xD

Once again, many thanks for this. If you'll ever decide to add some stuff here or there, I'd be happy to think up a few quests/encounters as proposals *hug*. If not, well, still loving it ^^

[Aeryn]

One of my goals after ToB is out is to do a very thorough run through both SoA and ToB to find places to add comments and interjections, etc. I won't have an idea of just how much content that'll end up adding until I actually do it. It'll also give me a chance to see the mod all in one go so I can smooth out anything that doesn't quite accomplish what I wanted it to, and maybe cook up some ideas for crossmod to hit up other modders about. I can't really promise that whatever I do will make the mod worth replaying, necessarily, because I have no interest in adding big stuff like quests, but it'll make for a smoother experience. Hopefully.

[Echo]

Omigod I just saw that almost everything is ready for ToB! From the writing side. I'm gonna keep my thumbs crossed that the programming side goes just as smoothly SO HARD they'll bleed. I'm gonna. :3

Will there be a way to track the progress of that as well somehow?

[Shae]

Oh! So much progress! <3 As soon as you have a beta ready I'll be happy to comb through the dialogue files again like I did with the SoA part if you want (and then I will have to vanish off the face of the earth for a time to play through it all).

[Aeryn]

YEEEESSSS yes yes yesyesyes! I'm chipping away at this last huge dialog, which will be done either tonight or tomorrow afternoon, then I'll be reading through the whole mess and getting it all organized, and maybe I can ship you the dialogs after I'm done with that so you can read through while we're working on the technical stuff? Or would you rather wait until it's in a playable beta form? Either way works for me.

There are still a few major edits I have to work through thanks to me making changes at the last minute, but I don't think those will take me too long once I get going on them. So, yeah. Not too much longer now.

[IceDragon]

Yay! Can't wait. I'm sure it's going to be awesome.

[EpitomyofShyness]

I gotta ask... If I romance Haer'Dalis in SoA and then my girl starts falling for Sarevok will there be consequences?

With Sarevok Romance as my favorite mod ever made, and me revving up for a BiG World install, I checked in here and saw the ToB content was close to getting done so I might delay my play through so I can enjoy everyone's favorite Bard tiefling.

I'd be happy to go through the dialogs when you're ready Getting that done at the same time as you guys are working out the mysterious moddery stuff like you said sounds like a good idea. Then when a beta version is ready my Bhaalspawn can clonk me over the head if I missed reporting anything huge
