in BGII:EE Mods

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.

    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?

    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.

    How exciting! It amazes me how many NPC mods you are able to make, especially when I least expect it, and it sounds like there's a fun twist on this one just like with Xzar/Monty and Dynaheir.. I'm excited to try her out and see how you write her, as I've always been a fan of having her in my party. As usual, the portrait looks excellent as well -- maybe one of your most organic BG2-style ones yet!

    Her kits sound interesting as well, I would not be surprised to see Shar-Teel working for Bodhi, so I'll have to try out both paths. Is she still able to be dual-classed into a thief, should the player wish?

    Nice work. I always liked her a lot. There is a mod adding Angelo Dosan to second game (one of my favourites). Any chance a crossmod is or will be added? It would be amazing to hear Shar Teel talk to her own father.

    Yes, it should work fine :)

    Sorry, but no. I mean, that's why I was wondering if I should write this NPC, and while I decided to do so, she won't appear at Bodhi's place if Angelo spawned. It's in the first post:
    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.
    Angelo mentions Shar-Teel -- more than once, iirc -- and Shar-Teel mentions him, too, and it's not as easy as it was with some other overlapping mods I've done before, because Angelo has a whole talk asking PC about travelling with her in the past. I am not going to block and/or rewrite the content of other mods when it's more than a matter of a few words. I've decided that if she knew Angelo was with PC, she wouldn't come to talk to CHARNAME or Angelo.

    Still, those who played with Angelo before may still want to take Shar-Teel this time and check her out.

    Cheers

    Thank you Lava, always want to play her in BG2. Just curious would you also plan for adding a few crossmod banters between Shar-Teel and some of your BG1 NPC mods e.g. Xzar, Khalid, Yeslick, or even Kulyok's Coran. Those characters have some interactions with Shar-Teel in original game :D
  • LavaDelVortelLavaDelVortel Member Posts: 3,215
    They mostly do in BG1 NPC Project, and I'm not a huge fan of the mod -- the quality of content in BG1 NPC P is just too uneven for my taste, but I believe, at some point, I may add some talks between Shar-Teel and Khalid, Skie, Xzar, Monsty and perhaps a couple more. I will need some time off first, though, as working on this mod drained me a bit.

    Remember, though, that none of my mods is a continuation of BG1 NPC Project. Here, as in Dynaheir, if the romance variable from BG1NPC P is detected, it may be referenced, but she's gonna tell you that she's no longer that person, and it's not just you who changes, or something like that.

    Cheers!

    I have only installed some of your BG1 NPCs and a few by Kulyok. The BG1 NPC Project which adding all BG1 companions are too overwhelming for me :D
    And please, take your time, it is no rush at all. You have made so many contributions to the community and I really appreciate your effort! :)
