Hello SHS-community,

Today I will reveal the first signs of life of the Alanya-NPC modification which I hope you will like.
The modification itself is already near the beta status and will be hopefully released this or next month.
At the moment I am mostly working on rewriting and proofreading but if there is anything you would like to see,
please don´t hesitate to let me know and in case it fits her character, I will keep it in mind.

To give you further information, I made a Q&A list, but well free to ask whatever you want, but keep in mind that I want to
expose as less as I can.
Helpful comments are also always appreciated.

Nonetheless I would like to give you one advice: Explore every pixel of Atkathla before an especially after you let her join
you.
Even places where you was never before.
Trust me, you (hopefully) won´t be disappointed.



1. Is this a Weidu-Mod?

Yes, of course and it should be compatible to all mods I know.



2. Who is Alanya?

First of all, please take a look at her picture and her in-game appearance.
(I would be grateful if someone could tell me how I can make them be displayed in this thread - the board gives me an error when I try to use )

I my opinion it represents her personality perfectly.
But I am also interested in the views of the community.


Now a bit of her backstory:

Alanya is a child of the planes.
She has a very good reason to join, a very good reason to stay and also a very good reason to fall in love with <CHARNAME>.
Yes, she is romanceable and trust me, a friendship wouldn´t be logical at all.
She also has an intact family (did you read that often?) which you will meet at least twice.



3. What are her class, stats and advantages/disadvantages?

I do everything possible to keep her balanced, so do not worry, she will not be too powerful.


Class:

Single Druid


Stats:

STR: average
DEX: very high
INT : very high
WIS: (Unsure - she has high knowledge of the planes but very few of Faerun, though she is able to abstract due to her INT.
         Very high WIS when it comes to everything that has to do with nature)
CON: average
CHR: (Unsure - overall beautiful and deeply caring but maybe not in everyone´s eyes)


Advantages:

-Suffers considerably less from acid- and cold-based attacks
-Has some magical resistance
-Immune to some effects


Disadvantages:

-Suffers badly from fire-based attacks
-Suffers badly from physical attacks that causes slashing and crushing damage
-Suffers from physical attacks that causes piercing and missile damage



4. Does she has personal equipment?

Yes, she does and every item is undropable (yes, there is a reason for it, don´t worry)
All are powerful but only some provides you advantages in battles.



5. Where and among which circumstances can I pick her up?

You are able to get her only in chapter 2 for the reason that the game is already
close to the end when you return to Atkathla and you do not want to miss most of the content,
do you?
I will not reveal exactly where she can be found (it is more fun to think for yourself, isn´t it?),
but just think about the places that would make sense.
It will not happen randomly.

Your PC also has to meet some requirements to become aware of her.
He must be:

-A male
-A human, half-elf or elf
-Of a NG, CG or RN alignment
-High of CHR and INT



6. Will there be personal quests?

Maybe the one that already partially exists, but I am unsure about it.
Time will show.



7. Will she interject with other party members than <CHARNAME>?

I´m sorry, she will not.
Not because of the reason she hasn´t anything to say, but for the reason that I don´t want her to have two or three talks
in the months she will be with the party.
Her to be mute is less unrealistic, at least in my opinion.
Or in other words: I don´t have that much time.



8. In what language is she written?

The modification is written in German.
I am sorry for all who´s native language is another, but translate her sentences goes a little beyond my abilities.
Nonetheless I have high hopes that some people (maybe from Kerzenburg?) are willing to give her a satisfying English
translation, so that far more people will be able to test her.



Thanks to everyone who came this far.
