  1. Re:Baldur's Gate - Good Mods! by General+Ishmoo · · Score: 2, Informative · on On Gay Characters In Videogames

    Not in the stock game, I don't believe.

    However, there are a few excellent mods for Baldur's Gate II that allow homosexual relationships. The first is Chloe: http://forums.fwstudios.net/index.php?showforum=11 , a female character who can develop a lesbian relationship either with the protagonist or another female character. The second is Solaufein, who is somewhat less picky (will romance anybody, either gender): http://www.weidu.org/main.html. I have more experience with Chloe than with Sola, since you can get her much earlier in the BG2 storyline, but both seem to be very well done mods, on the level of the Bioware NPCs.

    I haven't checked out single-player mods for NWN yet, but I thought someone had ported Sola, and if not I'll bet there's an equivalent to either of these for NWN.

    You might like to check out the mods and tookits available for BG2 from TeamBG, Forgotten Wars Studios, Forgotten Wars Projects and the Chosen of Mystra (a list of links to completed mods is available here).

    There are some major pieces of work here (e.g. The Darkest Day and Shadows over Soubar weigh in at over 300MB each) - and the most interesting project, The Big Picture combines the 3 largest mods (The Darkest Day, Shadows over Soubar and Tortured Souls) with several smaller ones (and some substantial AI improvements for tougher battles) to greatly add to BG2. This has been through over a dozen updates and has its own forums at PlagueZone. Download and enjoy!

    Have you seen BG1TuTu yet? It lets you play thru Tales of the Sword Coast using the Throne of Bhaal engine. I've played it thru till the end just recently. It's great. Breathes new life into a game from the late 90's.

    I'm pretty sure that's the case. That'd certainly explain the message I get when I try to access the defunct screenshots section linked on the site: "Could not execute query!"

    It'd have been nice to send them a message of warning instead of posting the link to phpMyAdmin on Slashdot, BTW. Hope they didn't save anything more vital than screenshot information on that database...
