What a train wreck. I was tempted to go back to BG1&2 but I'd have to rebuy them off Steam and it looks like the newest Mac OS doesn't support them anymore. Classic, but honestly for the best.

I did a little searching online, and it sounds like Sandrah silencing Eldoth is a feature of the mod, not a bug. If you have them both in the party, the Sandrah mod completely kills all of Eldoth's dialogue from every mod it can find.

As a character concept that's not even that terrible. God knows people like this do exist. But you can't then twist every single other character around to agree with it. It doesn't matter who we have in the party, they're all going to treat her exactly the same and it's really boring.

These encounters in Dark Side of the Sword Coast are kicking my rear end and I have the suspicion that Sandrah Saga made it even harder.

I remember absolutely glazing over these mod pseudo-expansions in that other huge bg mod lp. here too, tbh. just skimming for the train wrecks.

I don't know much deep FR lore but wasn't Elminister in a relationship with [a] Mystra? Old one or new one I don't know which but either doesn't make sense with the given backstory in the mod.

I am pretty sure arcane necromancy just also comes from the weave?

I remember reading back in the day that there is a Shadow Weave made by Shar but that is some other thing entirely and isn't just necromancy spells.

There's a Valerie banter about that kind of thing - she's friends with a priestess of Sharess in Athkatla. They're not sexually involved, her friend is straight, they just met while Valerie was feeding a neighborhood cat. :)

Sadly it's in her BG2 stuff.

It does seem weird that she bothered to do so and then didn't have Sandrah interjecting in every single conversation. Look at all that dialogue she could have taken over! So much wasted opportunity for pointless blathering!

Maybe the bit about all of the lines being voiced made it problematic to do so, somehow.

A update or so late but is kind of funny that even the party members who were egging you on to kill the Sirine also ditch you in favor of sandrah when you get ALONE'd for doing it.

So I just blitzed through this thread recently (skimming a lot, because Sandrah has way too much repetitive content), and goddamn this is some bad fanfiction.

But I got a question for anyone who's paid more attention than me...how old is Sandrah meant to be?

I think she is supposed to be like 20 or so. There was some throwaway line describing her as only not-recently-being-a-teen herself or something.

Drizzt doesn't bone anyone, at least around where this slots in time-wise. He very very eventually has a relationship with Cattie Brie.
