Welcome to our new forum boards at The Black Wyrm! Thanks to Baronius for setting them. Larrienne, my friend and co-author will moderate the general discussion forum, and the technical discussion I'll moderate myself. We are still beta-testing NeJ2. The upcoming v4.2b will be available in a week or so. You are invited to participate in beta-testing of this wonderfull mod.

Cheers,
Vlad.

Mysterium, thank you a lot for your kind offer to help. It would be nice if you could join our beta-testing team. I am definitely against installing and playing NeJ earlier than v3.0. To clarify things NeJ1 means *1st edition* which is actually v1.0-1.4 and which is compatible with BP. I do not support that version anymore because it's very old in comparison with NeJ2 which means *2nd edition* (and not *the second part*). NeJ2 is the BG2 style game with a lot of banters, interjections, dialogues, and excellent quests written by larrienne. It cannot be compared to NeJ1 which is just pure IWD conversion. NeJ2 currently includes two parts or two episodes. Whereas the first part takes place in IWD, the second part is absolutely new and has no connection to either IWD or BG2. All in all if you want my advise, please discard NeJ1 and start beta-testing NeJ2. The next beta-version will be available for download next week so you'll have a few days more to prepare yourself for travelling in time . Eventually, as for me, and it's really my own opinion, I wouldn't recommend to mix NeJ2 with BP. They are absolutely different from all points of view, scenarios, NPCs, places to visit, items, animations etc. Moreover it's needless to say that beside you risk to ruin your enjoyment from playing the game with too many big mods installed, you also may ruin your installation. By the way, you won't have much room for NeJ2's NPCs to adapt all of them, even at the beginning of NeJ2 you'll have to chose between new Jaheira and Accalia, then you'll get 2 more NPCs, and 3 NPCs when you start the second part of NeJ2, and I cannot imagine how is it possible to bring more NPCs from BP into the group from other mods without concluding NeJ2. All our NPCs are very valuable, have interesting stories, banters, interjections and quests, and Leina is a romantic NPC. But again beside incompatibility issues, this is really up to you, and I won't provide any technical support for those who play BP + NeJ2.
