Why I revised it Options

[Baronius]

I tried to answer the question of 'why I revised it' in the general introduction. In this post, I'd like to illustrate it with a quote from PPG forums (I used joker characters to disguise Grey Clan NPC and area names in order to avoid spoilers).

I got a reply on the other forum and it turns out there's a Gibberling's 3 forum where I found the answer.  Killing ****** and meeting ****** IS the end of the mod, apparently . I thought GreyClan was a great, very difficult mod, which avoided the many mistakes BG1 and 2 modders have done  in the past, such as copying and mixing old areas(eg:- Darkest Day) - that gets so boring and longwinded, plus unlike Secrets of BoneHill or BG2's  Darkest Day, it wasn't at all buggy. The conclusion could have been a bit more final. I wasted a whole hour going back to Baldur's Gate and ****** trying to work out  what I'd done wrong etc.

The player is right, in fact the Last Breath's conclusion was simply extremely poor. I had to finish the development of TGC1 very quickly, because I didn't have enough free time. And it was a wrong decision. Perhaps I should've stopped its development, and should've continued it when possible. But I wanted to release it in any way, it was my first major mod: I wasn't sure if players would like my modding/plot-writing style, and I probably wanted a quick answer -- fortunately it was a yes. Maybe it was the best in this way after all.

In Candlelight (the remake) hopefully does not contain the negative sides of the Last Breath. Its content is bigger and more complex than the old edition's, and the conclusion is hopefully more final (but it's still Episode I). However, the story of Episode I is finished at the end of the mod. The other episodes of the Grey Clan will have the same background (organizations, characters, places etc.), but they won't be the next instalments of the same story.

I know how it feels. It's a bit like my Ajantis BGII-mod: Version II will be more than a plain further development of version 1, it will be very different at some points. But if I hadn't given out version 1, it wouldn't have gone public at all until now.

I am very much looking foreward to this new version of GC1, btw.
