Protagonist Be Gone!
 


Download: Protagonist-Be-Gone! v1.0

In the tradition of "XXX-Be-Gone" mods I present to you Protagonist-Be-Gone!. This mini mod removes the protagonist, so that Imoen can finally take her rightful place in the game. For that reason the mod provides a "slightly" modified start of the BG1 and BG2 parts of the game series.

The mod is compatible with original BG2, BGT, Tutu, BG:EE, BG2:EE and EET.

Spoiler

This mod is primarily meant as a joke, since many players complained in the past about Imoen being reduced to a side kick in Charname's adventures.

It was originally just one of many test mods that have piled up on my hard disk to experiment with various aspects of the game engine. I have decided to turn this one into a standalone mod and make it public.

The mod is *not* meant to be installed for a serious walkthrough.

BTW: I tried out an AI-based voice changing software and recorded a new line for Jon Irenicus in David Warner's voice that can be heard in the BG2 opening cutscene. Since I'm not a native English speaker and have never done this before I'm curious how it turned out.

Have fun with the mod!

So, what's next? Villain Be Gone! Sarevok or Irenicus becomes the protagonist

Sounds tempting. Maybe an option for the next April Fools' Day mod release.

I'm not very adventurous when it comes to my protagonist; in my two decades of playing I've really only had two.  That being said, this mod really intrigues me and I'm very seriously considering playing as Imoen in my next BGEE playthrough.

You should definitely give it a try. Being primarily a joke mod you'll see the consequences of a missing protagonist pretty soon.
