Didn't know why, until found out that it was all scrapped for whatever reason. Sad. And now that you all are picking it up and making it work again - this interests me a lot [img]smile.gif[/img]
What are the plans, i.e. will you try to find ALL scrapped projects in BG2 and restore them? Would be cool if you could, although I realize that there are perhaps some limits as well, concerning what data you can get regarding these things.
Does, for example, Suna Seni have more to say then these couple lines in Coronet, at the Sphere and in Spellhold? If yes, will you restore it all completely? Haer'Dalis quest? There's few named NPC's in different areas, who don't do anything. Either they indeed don't do anything, or maybe they were a part of some quest as well? Even the Harper Hold quest - yes, we get the bird there, but also in the game is the item "Montaron's body", does it mean that there was another way for this mission in the past?
And so on [img]smile.gif[/img] As you see, many questions remain still [img]smile.gif[/img]

We are trying to restore as many cut quests as possible, but, given that we are still quite new to modding, the progress is quite slow. We are trying, though. [img]smile.gif[/img]
The Suna Seni component is pretty much complete. We restored as much as we could find out about her, filling in the gaps the best we could. We found hints about her appearance in Spellhold by looking at several script files, and we also learned of her part in the quest to find Valygar by looking at unused journal entries in the dialog.tlk file. The only other place we found a trace of Suna Seni is in the scrapped Minor Villains encounter, which Bioware eventually replaced with Spellhold itself.
Haer'Dalis's two cut quests are high on our agenda, as well as those of Viconia and Keldorn. Minsc's one quest has been restored as well.
