I think choice is good. However, unlike BG, NWN2 has had a tool that was usable for modders from the get-go (buggy as all get out initially, but at least fairly stable now). Several modders, including myself, have tried to offer improvements in the OC. I suggest you take a look at what has already been done and perhaps develop your mod with an eye toward compatibility. I guarantee that even before you release anything you will get questions about compatibility with other popular mods. It is not always possible to be fully compatible of course, but it is something to keep in mind.



Adding new areas is not difficult, you just have to add them in a new module you distribute and replace the campaign.cam file in the OC campaign folder. That won't be compatible with the OC Makeover or MotB Makeover since I already replace the campaign.cam files myself in order to enable party creation, but should be compatible with most other mods.



Good luck adding new NPC's You will have a lot of module and campaign scripts that will need to be modified and many additional ones that will need to be recompiled. You will also have a hard time enabling them to be fully utilized in the third act. I do not envy you the amount of testing you will have to do. I strongly suggest you finish playing the OC before investing much time in your NPC plans. You are biting off a lot.

@ Kaldor: the first thing I would like to do (preparing the things I would like to add is out of the list, since I am already doing it) is creating a script for triggering dialogue in a time-related way. More info here http://social.biowar...4/index/4815699

However, of course I am going to finish the OC before adding whatever things... also because the only reason I am not finishing it is my missing gpu, still at the customer support, and so I am also unable to use my toolset :-D

There are a lot of things which I would consider to be more important, like those things you guys have already mentioned, but I should say that I do agree that not having to have certain companions would be nice. For example, (trying to keep as spoiler-free as possible whilst still making my point clear), a certain annoying ranger character is supposed to be necessary for the plot, and thus forced on you, but afterwards, why kind you tell him to get lost? After all, he acts like a jerk and it's clear he doesn't like any of you. Equally, would Elanee stick around if I made it clear I like to torch woodlands? What if I told Qara to go home and grow up? And so forth.

Also this probably would have been better placed in the OC (spoilers) forum, given the topic, but no matter.

It should just be moved to that forum.

I did not realize I posted a spoiler...sorry Q.Q

[Vaalyah]

Thank you all for your kind answers. I am not going to read this thread any more, since it seems impossible for me to have a feedback without spoiling my game. If anyone would like to comment the poll, please, do it in the poll page WITHOUT spoilers. There are many thread where anyone can speak freely about the OC. I made this to have a feedback WITHOUT seeing my game spoiled. Now this thread seems to have changed into a general "what do you think about the OC", which was not the reason I post it.



Thank you to all who would like to collaborate. :-)

What about expanding the evil path- to side more with the baddies throughout

@ Adam024: hmm...interesting idea. PM me your ideas, if you please.
