Kreig to the Spine of the World, John's run of a Kensai through NeJ1- Options

[JohnTheMutt]

Hi Vlad & Jan,

It's good to be back! And to be beta testing. My schedule is sporadic due to limited access to my computer (we have guests and they're staying in the guest room where the computer is at...) But I will endeavor to play and report when free time permits.

I kept the old install from my previous games, however I put in fresh copies of override, dialog tlk, and weidu log. They bring the install nearly (music folder still altered for example) back to original condition: ToB + official update + original Baldurdash.

NeJ2 installed without problem and so did the patches. After installation I installed Weimer's Item Upgrade, Ease of Use (only certain components), and Improved Horns of Valhalla. These are pretty much the only extra mods I will install and use throughout the test.

I imported a Fighter Character "Kreig" that I changed to a Kensai. Later, perhaps, I will dual him to a mage since no mages will be available in NeJ1 as NPC's.

For my beta testing reports, I'll do a looser walkthrough than I did before, since it's already been said. But anything that 'sticks' out to me, good or bad, I'll be sure to mention it. Of course any bugs or inconsistencies I'll report as I find them...

Thank you, Vlad & Jan, again for all your hard work in producing a fine mod.

Start:

So far everything seems to work okay in 'Chateau' Irenicus. I allowed for jaheira's new kit to be installed and see her nice new picture.

Currently just arrived in Easthaven...

Found Daisy and the bolts with the x-bow. Very nice! Jaheira now has the best THACO in our party...

The Bombardier Beetle experience award is MUCH better Vlad. Thank you.

When we found Erevain the dialogue initiated correctly by Hrothgar and party.

* When resting in DE, Yuan Ti will spawn in. Vlad, as was mentioned before... do you want to alert the party to the presence of Yuan Ti before they are revealed later?

Not really a problem but if you leave Dragon's Eye to go back to Kuldahar and then talk with Arundel to go back to DE, you get the transition piece with music (these are much improved and faster, good job Vlad! ) again.
