Elf mage from tutorial.

Dirty Meg · 05-25-2004, 07:06 AM

Is there anyway to use the elf mage from the tutorial in the actual game?

masteraleph · 05-25-2004, 08:34 AM

Xan?

Not really. He's a BG1 character that they left out of the game, so he gets a little face time. There might be a mod or two (TDD?) that lets you play with him, but no way in the standard game.

TDD does not have him IMHO. Look at the sticky thread concerning mods, i think that there is there some "xan" mod.

Or when you see him in the game (and you have cheats enabled) just press control+Q (this works on ANYTHING in the game) and he will join your party.

Can't do that drew, he only shows up in the tutorial

Its sad they left him out of the game, he was really a great character.. I really loved his cynical way of looking at life, and not to forget, his moonblade!

Xan mod

Awesome! I never realised there was a Xan mod...excellent! I loved his dreary pessimism immensely. Maybe I'll jot that down if ever I revisit the game in a couple of years! (too much to play now)

Xan has this nihilistic/almost buddhist thing going on in the sense that he seems to suffer so much in everything he says. Definitely a favourite of mine from Bg1.

I've never tried that Xan mod (but I will one day).

If anybody gives it a shot, please tell me how it is.

Agreed. It is still in Beta, so I'll wait for it to hit a full version.

Why is a "test" version of software called a Beta version? Just curious...
