[mod] Shar-Teel for BG2EE

LavaDelVortel

Shar-Teel for BG2EE does exactly what the mod's title suggests: it allows players to meet and recruit Shar-Teel during Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition's campaign. The character comes with all dialogues (with the PC, other companions, and interjections).

The mod also comes with a "companions with benefits" relationship with the main character, provided the PC is a male of any non-good alignment (evil or lawful/chaotic/true neutral), with Strength and Charisma 10+. Remember, though, that it's not a full-fledged romance: it's minimal, as she does not seek true love; she's more interested in a beneficial kind of agreement with those she does not find exactly weak or repulsive. This relationship is automatically ended if the PC decides to enter any romance, as she's not interested in drama either. (If you are looking for a full romance, you may instead want to see if BG1 NPCs for SoA & ToB mod has what you are looking for.)

You may meet her in Bodhi's Lair, no matter who you aligned with: Bodhi or the Shadow Thieves. Know, however, that the path you took affects her dialogue and her kit, as she may start either as a Deathly Reaver (gains a bonus vs. humans, level drain immunity, and may cast Vampiric Touch) or as a Hot-Blooded Reaver (gains a bonus vs. undead, a great bonus to saving throws vs. death, and may cast Haste on herself). Regardless of your choice, she also gains another minor ability that matches her dislike of men.

Since there are both talks and a quest that kick in right after she joins, if you want to discover all the mod has to offer, keep some major quests, mod-added content you may still complete after joining one of the guilds, and Shar-Teel herself.

The mod is not compatible with other mods that add Shar-Teel to BG2EE and with Angelo NPC for BG2(EE). If Angelo spawns in your game and isn't dead, Shar-Teel won't even appear appear in Bodhi's hideout.

Not a fan of her but as always thank you for your work!

LavaDelVortel

Sure! As always, thank you!

Nice! Will try asap.

Just a bit surprised, that you don't give her a romance option for females, which would have fit quite well for her imho. However, I really like to see what you've made out of her in BG2.

I actually disagree on that a wee bit, I wanted to show something else than that - she would become some weird stereotype of a woman that just hates men, so she's sleeping with women, and it's all more complicated than that, and not exactly true. Furthermore, I don't want to build character's sexuality on hatred (nor hatred on their sexuality), that wouldn't feel right.

I preferred to write a woman that can enter a sexual kind of agreement with a man, without making it all about love. After all, women can do it for the sake of pleasure, too. It's not just men.

Still, thanks for your trust in my character-building!

Sounds interesting, too.

Btw

On a sidenote, I often use the Reaver kit (an evil Paladin) from Morpheus Kitpack for BG1 Shar-Teel in my playthroughs, and there has been a „Bloodreaver of Garagos“ kit to be explicitely assigned to her in the deities of faerun Mod. So a funny coincidence, that you chose such a kit for her as well. Are there sources you have been inspired for her class, or have you made it up on your own?

LavaDelVortel

No, not really. I was thinking of a suitable word, I remembered there were reavers in Dragon Age, I pondered if that is the right word I was looking for and decided that it's closest to what I had in mind, but then, I gave it a spin with the "hot-blooded -" and "deathly -" to match her current alliance / state. But the kit isn't what it is in DA, it's something else. My kits are somewhat simple, but they are not exactly the same. Perhaps, to some, it may be enough to try the other route with her. The route changes innitial meeting, the kit, and there are a couple of other lines during the game that adjust to the story.
