IWD NPC: a call for playtesters Options

[kulyok]

The Icewind Dale NPCs mod introduces a cast of five new characters to the great frozen wastes of the Forgotten Realms, with all the depth you would expect from PPG companions. The mod will transform the Icewind Dale experience into the story of a single, player-defined protagonist, and his or her fully-interactive allies(alternate classes are available).

Each character comes with a new, original portrait, interactions with the PC and each other, and quest commentary and interjections. Romance is also in the bitterly cold air...

The mod is fully ready, and has been tested by two people already. The only missing element is voicework.

If you'd like to play IWD NPC, you can do it right now!

What's the catch?

The problem with NEJ2 is that it uses too much of IWD content and graphics, practically providing a partial IWD download. It's fortunate that NEJ2 hasn't received a cease-and-desist letter yet. Barring that, I would still recommend you a good thorough proofreading for NEJ2 dialogues at the very least.

An IWD->BG2 transition, much like the one Tutu does, has been in the works for some time; perhaps it will come to fruition, perhaps not. I definitely agree that playing IWD in BG2 engine is a good thing.
