Well. I believe I did threaten this, and since no one stopped me.
I may have made a start. Be it a VERY minor one.
In the Candlekeep inn, there stands a tall, stunning Mindflayer.
He has no real dialogue yet, not are his stats and abilities final, however, this is a skeleton of what is to come. What I would like to do, over a very long time period, is a full usable, relatively funny and unique NPC with a full banter set and a lot of interjections.That is still a LONG way off and I will require a fair amount of tips and tricks as my dialogue writing skills are... uninspired, to say the least. Even where he is standing isn't where he will end up when I get around to finishing it, but at the moment, it's a start.
(I have a thing for Mindflayers. Deal with it.)
@Southpaw mayyyy want to see this... possibly...
EDIT: If you guys wanna play around with him in his current state, be my guest. He was more uploaded for the funsies value at the moment. I will keep updating him over the coming days and weeks.

There he is, in all his purple fleshly glory! Gaze into his milky blank eyes!! Feel his brain eating aura. *Cough* I'm not sure how serious he should be. :P
If you want to follow this NPC the same way I am playing ... I am on this forum, I'd suggest:
- drop the condescending tone please
- Southpaw the delusional MindFlayer is convinced, he is Good and his patron is Lathander (who does find this whole situation extremely awkward). Although in all the former runs and forum descriptions, he was more of a heroic sociopath - probably Lawful Evil and True Neutral at best, with his most favourite skills being trap setting (and catching his own tentacles in it) and backstab
- More often than not gets into arguments with his inner voice, especially about not explaining the jokes and ruining them
- sometimes indulges in alliteration, loves to suck brains of NPCs, while they are not looking and leans on the fourth wall pretty routinely
(Maybe you've seen this thread already)
I have started a new game with my standard character setup (Thief, this time a Swashbuckler, Southpaw, my original picture)...and this happened:
(cropped for size)
If there's any banter in particular, or quotes or dialogue I'll happily work on them when I can!
A bit ironical, I'd say.
When I get some more time off work I'm going to work on him a bit more. I'll come up with a convincing lie about the how. :P
Who want's to do this 'work' crap?!
XD that made me both laugh and do that "awww" noise when you think something is cute!
made my day really, thanks!
