Btw is there a way(or plans for) to remove vampirism from specific characters? Like Bodhi or Vynona?

No. Well, except ending her... it was her choice to become a, so ...

Bodhi's soul was taken from her by elves. She became vampire to prolong her life until Jon finds a solution.
We can read about poisoned Jon's wife Tanova. I think Jon used vampirism to return Tanova to life, because cleric resurrection didn't work because of poison special ability. Than vampirism was used on Bodhi.
Bodhi is just a positive person. If vampirism is granted to her, she will enjoy hunts and blood, instead of getting negative, whining, complaining and falling into depression.
She is a practic and uses all tools available to get what she wants.

In example of Hexxat we know, that vampirism can only be removed with death of body. Elves are immortal(?), so elven vampire can be returned to mortal state without death. But Bodhi cannot (elven nature was taken from her).

Vynona is a human, she will die if converted back.

And I must be adding epilogues if vampirism is lifted... I am lazy.
This mod is about being immortal vampires, that had thrown away people's moral and try to live on.
I don't think it will be good to change state they are in.
But I will think about it.

One way is to create a clone using DNA material of an vampire, and than trasport a soul from vampire to the clone.
But this will require getting into laboratory of Jon or Spellhold and trying to create a cutscene for this.
Don't know if I will bother with it.

PS Lately I improved making of player into the drow (dialogue at Candlekeep in tavern).
And I want to allow another use of vampires hearts.
I think about allowing mortal player to eat vampire heart and became a vampire this way.
If player is already a vampire, he/she could eat vampire heart and receive increase in one of parameters (strength, constitution, etc).
But this must have downsides - like other vampires will hate cannibal vampire or player will loose wisdom, intelligence or something else on each act of cannibalism (like Kali's Cult hates Miriam for cannibalism and Miriam is insane because of eating her own kind).

I think it could be cool and...well I love new epilogues but if it is too difficult or/and takes too much time I understand.

 

Regarding the new idea of eating vampire hearts are there any plans of the PC becoming the new leader of the Kali Cult if fully embracing this way of "handling things"? Or it opening some new "crazy evil ending" biography for the PC?

 

Also since one get get stronger as a vampire that way how about giving some unique abilities or some SUPER stat boost after eating enough hearts? Maybe it also opening some specific dialogue options for other Kali Cult members...

 

Btw any news on Vynona's romance?

[Lassal]

No news on Vynona's romance. I don't have good ideas about it yet and a time to implement.
For some time I throught some kind of '50 shades of grey' romance.
But it's not Vynona's type. She is bound to rules and has a character who needs to explain and sort things out,
I don't have an idea now, which type of romance she will have.
Maybe she will be mother-like to protagonist? But I don't know how to view this in romance talks yet.

Guess it might depend how wicked or/and controlling she is if we go with the motherly figure scenario.

 

If she is rather controlling and rather twisted then she might view herself as a replacement mother to the protagonist which would include some villainous incest vibes along with trying to set up scenarios for her beloved PC/son that fit her views on how he/she should deal with stuff.

 

If less so then maybe she might be embarrassed by both lusting and wanting to nurture the PC which leads to some internal doubts but at the same time she wants to guide the PC on the correct path but listents to his/her opinion rather than decide all on her own.

 

Also since vampire romances are more sexual focused then maybe she needs a role there too. Whether she is submissive there as a "good" and "kind" mother or a dominatrix one due to her controlling ways?

 

Well...just throwing some ideas here and there...

[Lassal]

Fixed few bugs, added possibility to eat vampires hearts and become a vampire/a more powerful vampire.

Ideas are good, I will think about it.

[TheFuent]

Bro this vampire mod is amazing. Please keep up the awesome work!

In nearest month - hardly. Don't have time for that, and other works press.

In mind I throught out main ideas of Parisa and Meredath romances. But don't have time to sit and write them down, so their ideas can change...

I think Meredath can make herself and a player a lich (in TOB) at culmination of her romance (she is a necromancer, will romance only vampire) (if player chooses to).

I see, too bad but as long as the mod is still ongoing and you just need to find some time then I hope it will work out.

 

I think this mod got plenty of potential.

 

And I would certainly welcome romances with Parisa and Meredath. Sounds interesting.

 

Btw no news on Mercenaries of the Sword Coast either? Not necessarily when the update will be out(unless you already had it finished unlike with the Vampires) but what features you plan to include in it.

 

Cheers.

No, no news on MoSC. I don't have time at all on BG modding right now (there is another game I spend my time to mod). And there is Pathfinder out. Maybe in autumn of 2018 or on New Year vacation I will be back solely to work on BG.

Who knows, maybe I will get inspiration and make something earlier...

 

For MoSC I got no fresh ideas. I want to add slave trader to Athkatla and few new slaves.

I think of adding few characters to Mercy of Bhaal list.

I think of using Hag animation and add possibility to hire all three types of Hags available in BG1-2EE.

I also plan to compile EET for 3.5 version (that is out at last) and develop mod futher for latest version.

[Sergio]

What is Mosc?
 

By the way, thanks for this mod.

Am I wrong, or the classic version of BG is not supported?

[Greenhorn]

Mosc means Mercenaries of the Sword coast, mod made by the same author.

And no, you are not wrong about compatibility with the classic platforms. 

[Sergio]

Thank you Greenhorn.

Any plans to make it compatible with Enhanced Edition alone?

Maybe in some years after it will become finished in a kind.

But I think it must work on BG2 EE without big errors. Just don't install BG1/SOD parts of mod (Vynona, Daerthmac, Derek). And Bodhi romance will not start in TOB (due to Chapters numbers - that can be fixed by me without many difficulties).

EET didn't rename BG2 part files.

That would be great. It takes me a fair deal of time to go through BG1 and SoD to check on the BG2 content for the mod when using EET.

 

And yeah, being able to start the Bodhi romance and other BG2 related stuff would be nice.

I plan to release update with only small fixes this week. Maybe I fix Bodhi romance if not forgotten.
I started learning about kits creation, maybe one kit for vampires will be included too (i plan fighter kit Bloodbath Champion of Kali).

[Samriel]

Nice.

 

Hope to see ,perhaps in the future, some unique (evil?) options in quests due to the PCs status as a vampire.

 

And maybe Vynona romance.

 

Turning NPCs into vampire minions would be cool too.

 

If possible.

[zelazko]

Will this mod be converted to work with classic non EE version of Baldur's Gate?

[Lassal]

No.
