I this past week I started learning how to mod Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, and this is the fruit of my labor so far.
One thing I thought would be ‘cool’ in BG:EE would be if some of the BG2 NPC’s made little cameos, so it’s what I’ve started working on… initially for my own personal pleasure, but I figured I might as well share So far, I’ve just started off with a cameo for Aerie, since she’s the easiest to justify. She mentions in BG2 that the circus went to Nashkel, and there’s a carnival there in BG1, so that’s where you’ll encounter her.
She’s not a joinable NPC, but if you’re nice to her she might help you a little bit. :) And don’t worry; she won’t say anything her wings. She doesn’t know or trust you well enough at this point.
You might need to follow these instructions to get mods to work with BG:EE.
Otherwise, download BG2CameoV0. Unrar to your game directory (For me its C:\Program Files (x86)\BeamDog\Games\00766\), and then double click the file ‘bgee_install_aerie_setup.bat’, and follow the instructions. To uninstall, just double click it again.
You notice it’s ‘V0’. I’ve just put in dialogue for Aerie right now. The next step is to figure out how to add interjections from other NPC’s. The ultimate plan, after you’ve completed her initial request, is to have her banter with a number of NPC’s, which will result in her giving each of them an item. I’ve written scripts for Quayle, Imoen, Branwen, Minsc, Dynaheir, Dorn and Baeloth, but haven’t figured out how to implement them yet (or if I can make her give items that aren’t in her inventory). That’ll be the next version, I hope. :)
