Hello people!

Here I have the pleasure of introducing this tiny Mod of mine for Baldur's Gate Trilogy, (Easy)TuTu and Baldur's Gate 2.
(downloadable here)

Its scope is extremely limited but I believe it extends and improves Bioware's take on available cursed items in the game.

Since I have no know-how, I didn't code it myself but rather had two dear, kind and skilled people do it for me: one is Nythrun and the other prefers to remain anonymous.

I am not giving away details because it's up to the player to find out what really happens. There is a readme file in the archive but it won't unveil much more... happy.gif

Just do not expect anything big. I want to repeat again that this Mod has a very minor impact.

It was funny to create Cursed Items Revision and I hope it will a bit funny to play it too.

Thanks!

There is only one way to check them out and it is just what Jarno said... cool.gif

However, I am planning something different for version 2 (if it's codable).

There should be soon a newer version available that is going to present a rather major structural change.

The next version will be made compatible also with BG2 although the recommended platform is still BGT.

It would really spoil it.

But it has nothing to do with compatibility with BGT, if that's what worries you... wub.gif

We are working on version 3 which will sport a new component: The Stone of Recall.

Those who played Neverwinter Night might remember its mechanic. It will be very similar in our case.

I decided to make it an optional component because some people might believe it highly exploitable, despite its drawback.

Heya biggrin.gif

Since the thread appears to not disclose too many spoilers, lemme just use this spoiler tag for this query tongue.gif

SPOILER!
I see that Cursed Items removes the "cursed" flag from many items. If this is conceptually incompatible with the item changes this mod introduces, please forgive me

But the ease of equip-unequipping seemingly "cursed" items with potentially harmful and unwanted modifiers just doesn't click. Not to mention, it makes the "Remove Curse" spell redundant.

I was just wondering if I could just get the cursed effect by just removing the lines LAUNCH_PATCH_MACRO fj_hide_cursed_state from the .tp2 before installing the mod

Besides, one of the item descriptions (from Commander Brage's Cursed 2-Handed Berserker Sword) says,"No sane person would ever want to part from such a charming weapon once it has been wielded". Doesn't that imply cursed-ness??


Thanks,
Lol

(man, the sig kinda gives it away don't it?? tongue.gif)

Chaplain,

I understand your concern for this change I introduced (and thanks for hiding so well the spoiler) but, as you have suspected, reverting back to the former, original situation goes against the vision I have for this mod.

I might tell you more via PM, if you so like.
