So, what do people think? Should I go for a SoA only release of this or complete all SoA/ToB content before releasing the mod? Obviously, getting ToB done will take some time whereas I'm fairly well into the SoA-only. The sooner I release a version, the sooner I can get a portrait for my avatar!

Releasing a mod simply for a portrait seems a little silly, doesn't it?
 Still, I'd say it depends on what you want. Of course including a ToB portion is more work and takes longer to finish, but it grants the player a complete version of the NPC. New things can always be added later, as well. Yasraena, for example, was released with full SoA+ToB content. Personally, I would wait with releasing any serious projects until the ToB portion is finished in addition to SoA. In my case, that would be Lockheart and Aerie Relationship. Any other NPC mod I toy with nowadays, if I ever manage to finish a SoA version, would probably be released as SoA first, and ToB later. I wouldn't mind waiting for Halbo SoA+ToB.

QUOTE(Moongaze @ Jun 16 2008, 06:09 AM)  Personally, I would wait with releasing any serious projects until the ToB portion is finished in addition to SoA. +1. There's nothing worse than having your romantic interest become a mute once you hit ToB - it's easier to forget about vaporware mods (cynically speaking, any mod which is not available to download) than about half-done ones. OTOH, most people get bored before finishing (or even beginning) ToB, meaning that they don't care about missing ToB content, and sometimes it's nice to have somebody leave a spot for recruiting Sarevok/Iylos/TLR Irenicus. Bonus points: Solaufein uses the same pool of banters, love talks and (partially) quests in both SoA and ToB thanks to some ingenious scripting. If you want to replicate his idea, you can simply write more LTs and banters and just have to write a dozen interjections, a personal encounter and an epilogue for ToB 
-------------------- Please do not contact me for assistance in using BGT, BP, any other of the 'large mods', or a mod I didn't write or contribute to. I'm not your paid support staff, so I'd suggest you to direct your help questions to the forum relative to the mod you're playing.
Thanks for your cooperation. |
