Playtesters Needed for New Mod, (Spoiler Alert for New Players) Options

[Lemernis]

We need playetesters for the alpha version of a new SoA/ToB mod called "Keeping Yoshimo."

In a nutshell, the mod

* allows players to keep Yoshimo for the entire saga
* adds dialogue re: Yoshi's betrayal of the PC (his spying b/c Irenicus' Geas)
* adds an entirely new subplot for Yoshi with dialgoues and an encounter
* adds a Tree of Life dialogue for Yoshi

This is what we have so far for v.1. Mainly, at this stage what we're ready to test is the coding to keep him throughout the saga. We have quite a bit more content in the works, but right now want to get the most basic stuff in good working order.

You can download the latest version from this thread at Spellhold Studios. Please report bugs and comment in that thread.

For those who have always wanted to have this option I think you will not be disappointed. It really is great fun to keep him for the saga. When I first did this (via use of a variable and a game editor, prior to the creation of this mod) Yoshi reached level 38 and became a backstabbing juggernaut.

Just a caution to players that this is an open Alpha test, and it would be wisest for anyone kind enough to help us playtest at this stage to run a separate game with this mod installed strictly for the purposes of helping us getting it working. We would advise players against adding this mod in its Alpha state to a run-through SoA/ToB in which the player wants to enjoy a bug-free gaming experience.
