Keto NPC Released!

jcompton · 11-17-2004, 04:09 AM

Keto, one of the chattiest bards in the Realms, is now available at http://www.pocketplane.net/keto !

An ambitious project launched two and a half years ago by Dungeon-Be-Gone creator Victoria Joyner (Blue, the Immortal Bard), Keto brings a little bit of wine, a little bit of mystery, and a lot of storytelling to your Baldur's Gate 2 experience. A young woman out on her own, looking to make a basically honest living as a minstrel, but spending most of her time skirting the front door of every dungeon in Amn. Keto needs a spark to fully develop her potential both as a bard and as an adventurer.

With thousands of lines of dialogue, nearly 100 banters, a unique bard quest and over 400 voiced lines from several performers, Keto represents a breath of fresh air for the expansive Bhaalspawn saga!

Keto may be downloaded from the mirrors listed at Pocket Plane Group, http://www.pocketplane.net/keto . A Keto forum for comments and technical support is available at http://forums.pocketplane.net .

Version 1 includes content for Shadows of Amn. Throne of Bhaal users are supported, but content for the TOB portion of the game will be coming in a future release.

Players do not need to start a new game to enjoy Keto. She can be found in Athkatla's Bridge District at the Five Flagons Inn.

Keto is compatible with virtually all major BG2 add-ons, and contains additional banter content with the Kelsey NPC, also available from Pocket Plane.

On behalf of the Keto team, I hope you find her worth the wait!

Sounds great. Too bad I am really busy now with finals. A few more papers to go before liberation. It will be real interesting to be a mod tester, I dont think I have played any mod at ver 1 before......

Since it's on Pocket Plane I assume it's WeiDU? I'm fairly certain, but I just want to confirm it.

I'll give her a try. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It is.

Barring the fairly unlikely creation of something superior still to WeiDU, I cannot really imagine ever developing a mod that didn't use it.

Yeah WeiDu is great..... 2 more papers. Count down to the end

Hmm.... maybe I'll have to try using a bard for once.

I've tried her briefly, and I must say, the voice acting is excellent! Even the sound quality itself matches the BG soundsets. I think I will greatly enjoy having this NPC in my party. [img]smile.gif[/img]
