Thanks for letting me know. I guess I haven't been keeping up to date.

I mean like the fire and ice damage effects seen in Icewind Dale. All we see in BG2 are pixelated blobs running up and down the height of anyone struck by a weapon that inflicts (fiery or freezing) elemental damage.

Interesting.

I haven't had a chance to try this mod yet, but what I've really wanted for a long time was for someone to replace those awful ice troll animations (which are basically shrunken shadowy versions of normal BG2 trolls) with the proper ice troll animations from Icewind Dale.

Also, BioWare went through all the trouble of putting proper glabrezu animations (from Torment) in BG2, only to leave the summon glabrezu spell (which summons a deadlier Nabassu) unchanged. When I summon a glabrezu, I expect to summon a glabrezu, not a nabassu!

Keep up the good work.

I'm still waiting for my thieves who can wear hoods without being forced to wear armour, as well as improved undead summoning (where I can summon zombies and lesser skeleton warriors who actually wield swords), and refined fire and ice damage special effects (the last refinement to BG2 alone will make a lot of BG2 fans happy). :)

You have once more selectively ignored Domi's point. Out of arguments?

I've made my case -- nothing short of Viconia's original writer stating that she was never intended to be anything other than heterosexual will convince you she is heterosexual. I dare say even then this mod would go ahead as planned.

Viconia's original writer is the only person who has any right to *officially* expand her original character, or make *official* changes. That's the perogative of whoever invented her. Domi's point is therefore moot. Adding a homosexual facet to Viconia's character isn't a believable expansion of her character no matter how well-written it may be.

By your logic everyone in the game is potentially bisexual simply because there's nothing in the game to prove otherwise. You could make any number of claims without any evidence to support it. That's inane reasoning by any measure.

All the evidence in the game points to Viconia being heterosexual. There is no evidence indicating she's bisexual (nothing). Now you expect us to believe that she is in fact bisexual? What a joke. The truth is the official Viconia is heterosexual -- nothing points to anything else.

Believe what you want. I shall be the first to point out that this mod is *unofficial* to anyone who believes it is an accurate portrayal of her character.

Also, just because I don't approve of this mod doesn't mean I'm a bigot. Victimize someone who deserves it.
