Since the lurkers are coming out of the woodwork, I might as well chime in. I've been following this LP since pretty much the beginning, but only recently registered. Obviously I enjoy it very much to have stuck with it for the 22 months it's been going (Holy poo poo, almost two years! And it synchronizes pretty well with the in-game time as well). I feel you've done a very good job fleshing out Syvishtar/a's character. I was wary after the first few posts that they might get too far into the zany territory, but fortunately you abandoned that gimmick early on. The ironman style also turned out very well, especially with the fleshed out battle commentary and all. Screenshot LP's rarely get exciting for obvious reasons, but here, things can get pretty intense seeing someone's health depleting from picture to picture. Aside from Vorgen's narration, one aspect that surprised me is the quality of the mod content. There are  mod characters and overuse of That One Cave Map, but on the whole the new side-quests seem pretty well done. The new dialogue seems pretty high-quality too, for most of it I really can't tell the difference between Bioware-written text and new content. (This applies only for the banter stuff, though. The romance mods can go straight to hell.) Pity the conversations seem rarer lately. I guess it's harder to write stuff for the later part of the game, when there are so many possible character combinations.BTW. I do agree with Arkeus that you seem to be pushing Syv too far off the deep end lately. Is this a part of a Master Plan, or did it just end up that way?

Vorgen posted:At this point in the game, when we're almost done, we're just simply out of dialogue. We've seen it all.  It's a pity, because the updates felt livelier with those interactions and how Vorgen wrote them into Syv's narrative. Now it's more of a one-man show. I was even going to suggest voting on getting rid of mod characters like Mur'neth and Bub like we did with Eldoth to let the better developed characters breathe, but from what you and Cythereal wrote, it wouldn't make much of a difference anyway.Also, I kinda regret reading the spoiler, because it made me look forward to something we'll probably have to wait another year for.

The day will come when some hapless soccer mom or journalist stumples upon some seedy modding community like that, and I can't even tell if they'd be entirely wrong, too.

The minmaxer im me screams to give it to Viconia and transfer the gains to BG2, but I'm going to vote Syv just to see if the mods throw enough Tomes of Wisdom at us to turn our hero into Gandalf, the Lord of Murder. Yes to equipment, provided the stronger equipment goes to weaker characters. Maybe then poor motherfuckers like Xzar can actually get a level or two in. Also, once we decorate everyone, will you be selling the lower-grade surplus stuff? Just so Syv can actually buy something nice for themselves for once?

Man, Durlag's is such an awesome dungeon from start to finish.  The Compass Room in particular is a great bit of story telling, mixing some creepy exposition with a nice puzzle.That said... Hoooooly poo poo that's a jarring addition of a mod character.

Well, I guess we now only have 4 charater slots to vote for, the second is permanently set. Also, banter! How I missed it.  Pity it, uh, didn't last longer.edit: The Iron Rose posted:on that note, Vorgen, please tell me you've the mod that gives you irenicus as a level 30 party member in ToB.

Does Elminster actually have any spells in-game? I know we can stuff him with scrolls anyway, I'm just curious.

If nothing else, it spawned the aligment meme/demotivational posters. Discussing characters from nerdy properties through the lens of D&D systems is such a wonderfully goony undertaking, I can't help but love it.

I like Strategy 3, but I don't know how feasible it would be, so Strategy 1 it is. Firebead - he's a high-level mage that I doubt the AI will utilize properly, and he's been such an integral part of the team. Branwen - it's just not the same without our old flame.  Lady Seafoam, Black Bear, Squirrel - if they die, we can just get new ones and pretend nothing's happened.

That was equal measures  and  . All I can say is... what the gently caress happened there? Was it the chaos spell? Did the characters have their AI scripts turned off? Because that made for a nice twist ending, but it would be a shame if all of them turned out the same way.

Wait, poo poo, doesn't the summoned creatures limit apply to charmed creatures as well? Unless the limit was lifted in BWP.

Left Door, Streetfighter Thug may be more fitting, but it's too thievish and I want to see if Streetfighter is as broken as it seems. Also, if Streetfighter wins, please give him a Wand of Magic Missiles that he can open fights with while shouting "Hadouken!".
