Questions about quests and mod events
Hi Lava. I practically live in Baldur's Gate these days, and am playing a few hours a day almost every day of the week. I take it slow but still end up finishing the series once every few weeks. Then I just start a new playthrough and do it all over again. Baldur's Gate is my happy place. I really love Shades of the Sword Coast for how much fun and beauty and love it has added to these playthroughs. I love al the characters and stories it adds, there's so much heart in all of it. I can tell you love this game as much as I do.
I have a few ideas or suggestions for things that I believe can still be improved on this brilliant game, and I was wondering if you might want to hear them. Maybe they can find their way into the next version of Shades of the Sword Coast? I would make these mods myself, if I understood anything about Weidu.
'Small' Mod ideas:
Don’t Jump (suicide is not a joke)
Provides better dialog options for your encounter with Chase, the suicidal noble near Coast Way Crossing. Allows you to empathize with him, understand the cause of his suicidal thoughts (feeling like a useless failure) and suggest a resolution for them. If this path is taken, you will meet him again in Baldur’s Gate, where he has found a job and is much happier.
Noober is a Pretty Cool Guy
Noober is no longer a ‘village idiot’ but is actually a pretty cool guy. If you put up with the questions he pesters you with, he reveals that he was simply testing your patience. He believes that patience is an important tool on the journey to enlightenment, and that it should be rewarded. He rewards you with an amulet of protection.
Don’t be mean to Halflings
Fixes the strange dialog with Perdue that forces you to insult him for being small (which makes especially little sense from a gnome or halfling PC).
Don’t be a Misogynist
Provides alternative dialog options to calling women ‘wench’ or ‘harlot’, where necessary.
Murder is not the Way
Provides alternative solutions to several encounters that, for no real reason other than lack of dialog options, invariably end with violence.
