A new mod is here - In Love, Undeath is now available!
The mod adds a new set of quests, all oriented around the Temple of Evening Glory, known also as the Deathless Beauty and the Eternal Lover. She is a goddess of love, beauty, and immortality through undeath. The temple itself welcomes the undead, especially those that feel beauty and passion do not have to end with death.
The mod also adds a new companion, Xzelë Melaenitt, the paladin of Evening Glory, a woman of power, who wants to protect her friends, who in her opinion - even though touched by undeath - carry much beauty that cannot be dimmed by the lack of a pulse. However, to make her join, she will first need to know her friends are safe and nothing bad is going to happen to them while she's helping you.
She has a series of talks, her own kit and abilities... and under the right circumstances, she may feel a connection to a male Child of Bhaal. The conditions, though, demand a certain change.

One quick question: I assume that the new quests can be completed without Xzelë Melaenitt?
(Not that I'm opposed to including her, I'm just curious.)
Another quick question: given all the new companions you've released recently, are you planning on providing some crossmod banters for them?
(I understand if that's not a priority.)
Thanks again!
Yes, she starts as a quest-giver, but she does not join the team. It's after the series of small quests and dialogues she may join - if you complete an additional quest for her. So those that do not want her to join, may still install the mod and use it as any other quest mod
I have crossmod talks content in mind, yes, but as you said: they are not exactly the priority right now. There are other things I'd like to focus on for a while, but yep, thru will come eventually.
Cheers!
Wow, amazing...
How do you release so many quality mods so fast man? Is there some secret to it or are you just so awesome?
To be honest, it's mostly because I like telling stories and sometimes it's relaxing - working on stories after an annoying day at work.
Please keep the job - or get a more annoying one? And of course be well
On the current one, I have SotSC, all the Athkatlan Grounds and the new Hill mod installed.
Yikes, I installed it on my EET game - do you think this would break things? Should I redo the installation?
Yes. I installed Whin Hill on EET and it ended up north of Icewind Dale on the map! Decided to leave playing it to a future install, though I could reach the area no problem.
Three more questions if I may:
1) Where I can find skulls for the Dire Wolf quest to improve Xzele's staff? I did found some skulls (around 2) by killing some quest enemies during the very first quests in the Temple of Evening Glory before I could recruit Xzele. But I'm not sure its those since the journal speaks of skulls of priests that were killed by said weapon...and I fought not priests nor found skulls of priests specifically.
2) I stopped receiving more dialogue from Xzele after a time. Her last dialogue was after she described how beautiful her companions by becoming immortalized in undeath. Despite how much time passed and how I rested both in Inns and different environments (city and wildlands) I get no more conversations.
Could it be related to plot advancement? I'm still in act 2 before leaving for Brynlaw.
Or do I have to go to some specific place or do some specific quest before more conversations open?
3) In the mod's description there is implied a chance of romance of Xzele that requires a change (I assume a change in her status as undead?) does it require some specific quest, decisions during conversations (I was nice and supportive towards her in our conversations and she speks of our current status in a PID as "companions") or the possibility opens when the story had advanced enough?
Thanks in advance!

I came back from
Not only that, but after you exhaust the dialogues a couple of times, you are moved to a new landscape, but there is always the same dialogue looping.
Also, let me know what is the last line of the dialogue when it starts to loop.
Hopefully, it will happen in your game too.
I never saw it happen before, I will try to prevent it from happening even if the bow is equipped and the mode is on
Cheers!
