Canonize A Mod NPC

shawne

If you could choose one mod NPC to become an "official" party member in BG/BG2 - fully integrated, like the EE characters - who would it be?

Xzar

Kido from Mod for the Wicked.

Kamigoroshi

The slimier they come, the better they fit into every niche of the games.

semiticgoddess

Finch Bloomwhiffler. Very charming.

Cahir

Xan in BG2

SharGuidesMyHand

Ellyrian by CaloNord.

Tresset

How about Sarileth?

SapphireIce101

Arath! He's one of my most favorite NPC mods of all time, and he's written by the awesome @LiamEsler.

semiticgoddess

@Tresset: I was wondering for a moment, until I saw the trollface...

Tresset

I have never actually used the Sarileth mod, but I hear it is pretty bad. I almost want to try it to see just how bad it is...

I wouldn't canonize her... I'd cannonize her

Elrandir

Balthazar from Ascension. I have two canon CHARNAME's. One's a bard who travels with the canon party (at least my opinion of it) and the other's a cleric who travels with only Imoen, Sarevok, and Balthazar. (all the time, that is. Other's come and go just for their specific quests) Sibling power, baby.

lunar

A gay romance who is not a mass murdering psychopath? Quite innocent and virtuous as well. Also, he is waaay cuter than Dorn. Oh, how I wish!
(Course Dorn will bisect him in like two rounds tops. He is weak. But cute! My type. Lol)

looks if there're any dwarves among the options

I vote for Yeslick in BG2. I think we need a good ol' dwarf in SoA, by Clangeddin's hammer.

Shouldn't there be a "Don't canonize a mod NPC" option to make it fair.

Mortianna

Silver Star - a demented (yet childlike in her innocence) Neutral Evil female elf assassin who you meet in Chateau Irenicus. She's a product of Irenicus' experiments and has been chronically poisoned, so she has a low (7) Constitution, but is immune to the effects of poison. She also has a sentient sword that has unstated abilities. There were a few bugs, but it was a well-written mod in terms of her personality and her banters with other NPCs throughout the game. As far as I know, nothing has been done on the mod in years, and the original link to the mod is down. Thankfully, I still have it on an external drive.

Moradin

Although I've read that a few modded NPC are very well made, I personally have never felt the need to add one to my campaign. But I have to agree with @bengoshi , I would really like to play with a modded Yeslik. He's one of my favorite NPCs in BG1 and have to say I missed his simplicity in SoA.

any one of my multiplayer party!

Kang- lawful neutral Edwin essentially. likes power and think himself as leader of the party.

Donathal- much too loyal dwarf that will do anything asked of him, and seemingly never remembers why he is doing what he is doing. he started by getting lost from his clan and now somehow he's never gotten back to them and instead ended up on an epic adventure with a bhaalspawn! tells crazy, long winded stories whenever he has to explain something and every tavern you visit you can drink with him and get crazy banter! he is a simple but lovable dwarf!

Andre- a good person and a source of comedic relief as he makes a joke about just about everybody in the party. just a word of advice though... don't give him Lilarcor!

Maeglin- grown up in poverty. even when life gets better he still steals a little just out of habit. he is my character and the bhaalspawn, so he would probably lose the bhaalspawn trait and thus not have the dark moments to his story, but coming late into the game he is changing and maturing. when we get HLAs he'll practically not be a thief anymore in our game, as he'll be more of a paladin holding caromyr in full plate, thus for a while now in BG2 he's been on a path of redemption and growing up.

I don't know who I would like to see introduced as a joinable NPC but I think I don't want to see Solaufein NPC mod canonized. Solaufein is in unmoded game sure, but I don't like the writing of his mod. It feels like Solaufein from the canon and mode are two different beings. Also, Sola annoyed me many times, for example, making the decisions for me (like, recruiting Drizzt).

And finally, what becomes of Solaufein after Bodhi captures him, regardless of who you actually romanced with? Huge difficulty spike, that's what.

CrevsDaak

Why not simply leave mods as mods instead of putting them into the game?

Kelsey.

Pretty sure "Other/None" covers that.

Aedan

KETO RULEZ.

She is very well written ans her quest is just awesome. @shawne, you should definitely try her.

FinneousPJ

@elminster Not really. Wanting a non-listed NPC and wanting no mod NPC is hardly the same.

I really liked Berelinde's mods Isra (Cavalier) and Gavin (Priest of Lathander), as well as Grim Squeaker's Tyris Flare (FIghter/Mage, and my Swashbuckler's love interest). Am not saying any of them ought to be canonized, but I do feel they deserve mentioning here, if only to be discovered by readers who are unfamiliar with these mods.

booinyoureyes

I'd really prefer the Banana! NPC to be canonized!

He seems cool.

I voted Solaufein because I like the idea of making this character joinable, but I would like to change him a bit for some of the reasons that @O_Bruce mentioned. I prefer the more guarded Solaufein you see in the canon vanilla game, and would want the character to be a bit more that and a bit less of a poet. I never actually got far in the mod, even though I installed it, because of restartitis (its bad). However, I do find it interesting to have an NPC that joins you later in the adventure, and Solaufein is a really convenient character to add plot-wise.

I like Keto and Kelsey. If they were options I would have chosen them. I like their characters, though I would like to change Kelsey's voice acting a bit if he was canonized.

Blades

Bg2ee = Kiyonne/Kova combo. Great mod.

BGEE = Finch

If the NPC has to have content in both...Gavin

Caeria

I've always been a fan of Domi's Kivan mod. I always sort of felt like he was meant to be in the game anyway.
