But do we need another NPC thief, @Monolith? There are already several in BG2. With respect, I think that new NPCs should either have some intrinsically distinctive dialog and character, and/or possess a profession that is poorly represented among NPCs. Thus, a monk, a wildmage, a paladin (different kit than Keldorn), or some unusual multi-/dual class would seem more interesting and useful at this point. | Yeah, but I like thieves and I'm not very fond of the thieves in BG2. But making a NPC just for myself isn't worth the effort. That's the reason I asked.

| | | I think a thief would be very useful. At the moment we have
imoen - cant grow
nalia - only lvl 4 and cant grow
yoshimo - we all know his rather large problem
jan - while endearing, he wil eventually get boring (not yet for me) and cant wear really good thief armor, and can only get halfway to full level.
there is no evil choice in that list.
granted TDD and SoS add one thief each, but would you really down load the whole mod just for the thief?
please correct me if im wrong, but i personally think a thief mod would be a good addition

| | | Hmm..
Yes, a good single class NPC thief, kit or no would be nice. If you want to get a bit cheesy, maybe make them a kensai/thief dual class.

| | @JC, is Keto still in progress, or is the project abandoned now??
And will there be an update for the banterpacks soon (=more banters )?
@UU, do you have any insight in Quitch' other project; "Imoen relationship" ??
Im really looking forward to this one, cause Ive always thought our dear Immie had way to few dialogs...

| | Indeed! I have recently picked up a second hard drive and given the plethora of new mods I am considering reinstalling SoA/ToB. Does anybody know how compatible Check the Bodies is with mods like Chloe or Solaufein? I took a look at the website but they only mention downloads like TDD.
Cheers!

Cheers! | all weidu mods should be installed AFTER any big big mod, like check the bodies...and its all at your own risk...
i haven't had problems with tactics or imoen romance mod, but i've recently reinstalled bg2/tob from backup, since my gut instinct is less mods, especially dialog intensive ones the better...check the bodies is interesting and big enough i won't miss imoen romance or even tactics...

| Keto's author was offline for a few months and has reappeared. Right now some of us are trying to convince her to just implement what she has and get it out. You could always go to the Keto forum and say what a good idea you think that would be so it's not just me pestering her about it.
As for banter, I don't have any explicit plans to sit down and write up enough banters for a V4, but I'm sure it'll happen soon enough.

And what with this highly secretive, new, only-JC-knows-about-it mod?? Cloakwood Squares v3 perhaps?
