I am looking for a dialogue writer for a new male NPC.
I have a small part of the dialogue written, but I find writing, coding, testing and doing the graphics all by myself quite time consuming.
I would really appreciate some help.
Interested? Please contact me for more information.

Why don't you give us some more information on your npc? For example:
[plug]This is a NPC for BG2. He is a monk from Kara-Tur. His name is Yikari and can be found in the Temple District in Athkatla (on the bridge generally in the middle of the area).
He has his own quest (sort of). It is to get Celestial Fury from the Guarded Compound in the Temple District. He has taken a vow of silence until he gets the sword. However, he is rather less objectionable than Kuroisan wink.gif. Depending on Player1's level when he first enters the Temple District (while Yikari is there) Yikari can be either level 12 or 18.
Depending on whether you have CF (+3 or +5) when you meet him, he will still be bound by his vow of silence. This affects his equipment, biography and dialogue.
You can persuade Yikari to join your party even once you have got Celestial Fury, however a charisma check is made to determine whether he will insist he keep Celestial Fury or whether you can give it to whomsoever you please. Despite being a monk, Yikari is "skilled" in use of the katana, not "proficient".
If you try to kick Yikari out of your party once you have Celestial Fury he will ask for it before he leaves. Again, if you want to keep it without forcing violence, a charisma check is made. The ring of Human Influence on Player1 is your friend. smile.gif
If you let (or are forced to) let Yikari keep a personal watch over CF then only he can use it, it is worth nothing and if you try to kick him from your party without him holding it he will turn hostile. You can only get the original CF from the Yikari-only version from telling him to his face and fighting him. I'll have no betrayal!
Although ToB is required for this mod, ironically Yikari can only be found in SoA. Also, even when Yikari fulfils his vow of silence, he does not ever banter, nor can he in fact say anything at all. This is all because I have had limited time to make this mod (7 days), but I shall remedy all these problems in the future.
Follow the link in my sig!

I don't wish to disappoint you, Moinesse, but coders don't grow on trees. 
Start making the mod yourself, try to attract people rather than the classical "I need someone to do this and that for/with me" phrase.

Any sort of free labour doesn't grow on trees. It might best suit your purposes to specify what YOU are going to do, why you can;t do what you're asking for help with and so on.
Details are your best friend =)

how come you always look so damn cool in every photo I see you in?!?
Speaking of modding, I listened to IER 3 yesterday, so you can have another quote for your signature: how come you sound so damn cool, as well as look it? It's unfair. Seriously.
Still a cyberjock, still hacking the matrix, still unsure of what that means.

I'd be happy to help. I'm a beginning weidu user, and writing dialogue is one of the few things I actually know how to do. It'll be good practice as I learn the basics of modding.
Just give me the details...
