Actually I don't have much free time (preparing to become a Policeman is very hard in Spain nowadays...) but I'm going to install it (mid game now, in the Underdark) and see how he helps me.

Just thinking...... I don't know what you have planned and don't want you to spoil anything but... if finishing his quest and all that makes he free and obviusly grateful, and being a Djinni who can grant wishes.... are you going to add a Wish granted or something? I know you better not grant anything too powerful but story wise if someone help me get my freedom back after years and years of imprisonment and being a slave... I would gladly give them anything in my power.

So.... fixing something you could not avoid (Khalid, Dynaheir, Gorion, Yoshimo...) could be great. That would mean a lot more material for you to write and of course some negative opinions from people who would prefer Gorion staying dead for example, but you could simply not choose that wish.

I'll stop rambling now and try your light version.

I'm sure you are going to make he talk about it but, being a djinni and thinking about Aladdin..... his freedom? I don't know a thing about Djinnis in D&D but you have talked about his past and he was imprisoned, so he's likely wanting his freedom back. If not he should talk about regaining his freedom a lot.

Hehehe, obviously I meant in Real Life...

I hope that you didn't feel bad with my post and also hope you get her finished.

Mmmm, maybe a long lost love? A revenge not fullfiled? Some mission/order he didn't finish/obey and something really bad happened?

He may have his opinion about the Time of Troubles, about Bhaal's plan....

Good luck finishing it, will play it for sure.

From a player's (and a huge Planescape Torment fan) point of view, I think the "problem" with Caoco's story is that it will not fit well with Charname's story. You are the son of a dead god, fighting for your life everyday (until the end of ToB) and all of a sudden you join forces with someone who's background is much more epic than yours.

She comes from Hell, she wants to rule it all. She may have her reasons to desire that, but how is she going to convince you to do it? Even being an evil Charname why bother in conquering the Nine Hells if your Godhood is almost at hand?

I love to play NPC mods, but I like to feel that the "star of the show" is my Charname (even Imoen is always in the back and she could be you). Taking with me someone far more marvelous than me is just not for me (thinking of Saerileth right now.... thank you but no, thank you -with all my respect for her creators-).

Think in all NPC mods out there, the one's more appreciated. Those characters are loved because of their story and their interactions with Charname, romantic or not (much more than for their quests, special items, stats, powers) and/or their background. I have played almost every NPC mod out there and the one's I keep on re-playing are the ones whose story and their relationship with my character are the best for me (So thanks Kulyok for dooming me to install Xan everytime I play the game and to suffer for the 6 people party limit.... and I only play the male-male friendship). People will try your mod if you do it bug free, if only to see what that new npc has to offer but I think that when Caoco starts to convince you to "Hey Charname, let's forget about that Jon Irenicus idiot and go visit Daddy and Sister and start a conquering War in the Hells"... people will lose interest.

I don't try to offend you or to mock about your idea, I'm sure that in your head her story is just fantastic, but I think that is better suited for a fanfic rather than for a mod. Anyways, good luck in doing her. We humans just have one life, so do whatever will make you happy. If making this mod is fun for you and makes you happy go for it !!!
