Well, you're not a Bhaalspawn, nor are you a midget wearing enchanted items.

I live in a world in which people don't go to sleep for 8 hours after every 5 minutes of fighting.

Yes, they go to sleep for eternity :D

Is it MY fault Bioware can't be bothered to draw a pic for each of the 1,000 short swords in the game? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Full marks for effort, Broadside, zero for tactical brilliance. In my world, we shoot the mind flayers and save the spells for the hard-to-kill stuff.

I don't think this is technically possible. The ring slots on the inventory screen are hard-coded, and nothing short of Bioware releasing the source code for the game could change it...

A mod that there are silver,copper, and plantanium pieces. If you read the Dungeons and Dragons player handbook you would know the value of each type of coin. And it'd make things more realstic (But most likely things a bit more complicated.

Not sure about this one...it's interesting, I'll give you that, but I'm not sure how useful it would really be...

Contains Brynnlaw Spoilers

Brynnlaw is one of my most favorite places in the game. Wouldn't it be nice if there were more quests there if you are a swashbuckler you would feel more at home there than anywhere else. Maybe you can do more quests on the island such as performing tasks for DeSharik. Even meeting new NPC's that can join you who are also most likely swashbucklers too. Maybe you can go on sailing?

Check out the Blades of Brynnlaw mod in development over at Forgotten Wars Projects...

Contains Underdark Spoilers

Extended stay in the Drow city. What I loved most was fighting other Drow again there is opprtunity to do more quests. Maybe if you are female you can rule your own house. And name it whatever you wish and have it as an stronghold. If you are a male you can be an Weapon Master if you are an fighter or a wizard for your house. Maybe you can take part in a raid against another house.

While I don't like the idea of using Ust Natha as a stronghold, I would like to see more development done to the Underdark overall. There is a ton of potential there...

I'm surprised nobody's spoken more about cleaning up the unfinished quests around town, including

--Suna Seni and possible Valygar romance
--Black Lotus
--Illithid takeover of Athkatla (anybody been in Deril's house recently?)
--I pity the poor player who's still waiting for Jan to finish his quest.
--Kidnapped priests (listen to Waukeen's Promenade and Temple District gossip)
--And the big ugly, the CC slavers/guarded compound/Rejiek Hidesman/Twisted Rune mess.

My heart also goes out to the poor druid stronghold. The trinket involved is worth it. Barely. What about instructing new druids, and protecting the wildlands from humans? Maybe involve the lonely Chapter 6 areas?

Actually, I believe icelus himself was working on the Unfinished Business mod, which aims to fix up some of those loose ends, Pirengle. If you're still going on that, icelus, I'm looking forward to it. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Ah, 'tis true, Mr. Moose :D

All the dialog has been written for the Suna Seni/Valygar relationship (though my mod will *not* introduce a Valygar romance. There are at least two already in development). Several characters who have .cre files, but never made it into the game have been restored. Work on Haer'Dalis' two cut quest is about to commence, as well as various minor quests and tweaks. Plans for the Twisted Rune, Slavers, the Hidden, the Roenalls, skin dancers, and the black lotus sellers are still being considered.

Minsc's quest to find the kidnapped Boo is about half done, and it is looking great (Cliffette has put a TON of excellent work into it...). There are so many quests to reinstate that I'm not sure of exactly to release the mod--either having each new release offer a new quest, or just waiting until most of the quests are done and then release it.

I'll try to keep everyone here updated when there is major progress :)
