TS v7.0 - upcoming release Options

[Vlad]

So, the new version is close to completion. There are several things that I should finish and some things I'd like to add. But for now, it's about 85% done. I'd like to ask those who played TS, tested and have something in mind about the mod, to post it here. Trufa, thank you a lot for your reports and notes. I have taken all them into consideration. For now, I have removed both Coran and Dynaheir as being absolutely silent NPCs, and I've remade three areas of the island. Valygar and Sime romances will be more independent on external conditions, which means better compatibility with other mods. Items - are per your requests, trufa, - duplicates have been removed, the present items have been balanced, some new items were added. What is left - more banters for Sime, particularly in ToB, and thorough testing.

I cannot disconnect Valygar from the Shade Lord's quest because of Merella. Moreover, since Valygar is in Umar Hills anyway, I don't see a problem to complete this quest right after joining him. What I did is accelerating romance timers, removing banter switches, replacing "real" timers with "in-game" timers, and separating banters connected to events from the main flow of the romance. I hope there will be no more problems to complete both SoA and ToB part of Valygar Romance in a normal game. The same is true with respect to Sime.

The problem is that the Shade Lord is improved in IA; hence, those players who have both TS and IA won't be able to finish the quest right after having Valygar in the party. If delay in defeating Shade Lord will halt the romance permanently, it's an incompatibility with IA. But if the romance can start and proceed even if the player goes for Shade Lord with delay, then there is no problem.
