TS Test by Trufa (don't split pls with Anvil, because the second TS test will be with IA) Options

[trufa]

I finished the first TS test



Nothing special installed
-Bdash
-TS
-some Ease-of-Use
-DBG


I played until the middle of main quest (Maevar,Small Athkathlan Quests,Trademeet,deArnise,Unseeing Eye, Pl.Sphere, Pl.Prison,Slavers, Aran's side quests), and finished the first testplay (speedplay style) fem. Kensai Druid PC NN all.

- What is with Kachiko's old voice? This new one reminds me on my fem IWD1 characters, The old one was nicer, especially there was voicing in banters too, not only the core ones (lead,tired,attack, etc...)
- Same Kachiko-Yoshimo banter problem as before mentioned
- Sime's voicing has also the same trouble (only having the core sounds), and I haven't any install problems
- Haven't Triggered the first (and the other) Lovetals with SIme. It is still to do the Temple Ruins quest, or Neutral Charachters cannot romance SIme? (the reason to stopped the test)
SPOILER!

-It was good, to remove the upgraded Dak'Kon Blades, so Kachiko can try other combos as well, and in IA nothing can stop her having the Royal Elemental Staff
-Taking the TS Robes in the Nakanishi dungeon was a good idea, so this powerful, but too owerpowered robes are accessable in the middle-later of the game
-It would be better to take the Edion Ring of Wizardry out, rather the Ulcaster Ring, because in vanilla game both ring are very (or not too powerful), but in IA Ulcaster Ring will give possibly Immy a few additonal spells, but with a Ring of Wizardry-Edion Ring of Wizardry combo Imoen would have at least 12, or 14 spells in 5 lvl, and doesn't needed to memorized to An.Dead, Breach, SP. Imm.)
-I haven't found any reference (in game, and in add. programs too )how to make Ring of Wizardry II. It is possible to take this item? HOw?
[spoiler]-It is the same for the new Thief armour, but I have an Idea (Correct me if I am wrong) Aino give it at the end of the main quest to Yoshi rewarding the union of the two family)

[/spoiler]
-The last question goes for you Sikret! What will happen, if TS contains some items, that IA has modified,changed,or removed? (Arrow of Dispelling, some potions, the good old WuJen Katana?)




One of the TS-IA's expert's to get your character to TS-IA

(Fe)Male good Alligned Human Barbarian Long Sword/Flail/Spear and/or Shield)
-Best HP, Better as Vagrant, especially with Rage
-Many times immune to lvl Drain
-Many items to increase the already high HP, compensate the relatively bad AC
(Spear of Kuldahar,Mail of Life (TS +10 HP, reg 1 HP/turn),Large Shield +3 (TS Immune to PWK, Finger of Death),Indigo Ioun Stone,Girdle of Lordly Might,JD)
-Romanceable with Sime (mal-fem), or Valygar (fem)

Done the following quests/encounters
Circus
Mencar and party
Copper Coronet
Slaver quest
Graveyard (not Bodhi quest)
Fallen Paladin
Skinner
Buried Alive
Harper
Mae'Var
Pirates
Ployer's Curse
Trademeet (not Tiris)
Jermien quest
I am in the middle of the pl. Sphere



This Installation is agreeably difficult. It isn't required to fight "on every corner" with some high improved liches, or some new golems, and also not too easy, just to run through a "stronghold quest" (Unseeing Eye, Trademeet, Pl.Sphere, etc)

The only problems so far the "Sola-problem", but is was solved SPOILER!

many saves, and before the vampie-Sime encounter a quit, uninstall solamod, vampire.encounter, save, install Sola-mod

. Sime's romance works fine (It would be presented on the "Trufa wt", but it will take some time to do a nice composition). The Sime flirt is a new style of flirts, it will take some time to get acclimatized it. Not bad or wrong, just different.


The party is the "old Trufa TS party"

Jaheira "Impaler"
Yoshimo "Ghesen-Ibaratha"
Sime "FoA-Crom"
Imoen "Staff of Magi-Firetooth"
Trufa Nastymouth (Sling of Seeking+Sceptre of Tyranny(TS)/Fulcrum(IU))
Kachiko

With Kachiko will be an another test: She stays on Scimitar, and trying with her the Water's Talon(IU)-Belm.
With Jaheira it was lethal, especially with Whirlwind, but I am curious what will they do with Imp.Haste+TimesTop+Tenser+Kai.
If too powerful, Water's Talon will be substituted to Yamato/Usuno's Blade/Spectral Brand
