Recruit Karlach Earlier

Mod Features:

!! WORKS ON NEW SAVES ONLY !!

This is due to the way level initialization works.

Please read the installation and compatibility sections.

• []Recruit Karlach on the beach, downhill from Astarion! (see map marker in images for specifics)[/]

  []Opens up a ton of dialogue in scenes before the Grove and in the Grove, most of which are completely inaccessible on a normal playthrough![/]

  []^ This includes unlocking dialogue on early long rests and reactions to camp events![/]

  []Bring Karlach with you to meet Wyll in the Grove for a special interaction with unused dialogue![/]

  []Trigger a [!] dialogue to speak to Karlach about Wyll's hunt for her after you've brought her to meet him![/]

  []Delays the camp night for an unrecruited Wyll's Karlach confrontation until you've met Wyll so you don't miss other early camp nights![/]

  []Like Wyll's vanilla encounter? Hide Karlach in camp before speaking to him in the Grove![/]

  []You can still recruit Wyll first and bring him with you to confront Karlach on the beach![/]

  []Fixes multiple broken camera angles that happen when you move Karlach's intro cutscene![/]

  []Optional: Immersion Patch that tweaks a few of the questions you can ask Karlach when talking about Wyll's hunt to make them more logical![/]

  []Optional: Karlach starts at level 1 instead of level 3![/]

  []Works for Origin Wyll playthroughs as well![/]

  If you recruit Karlach before Origin Wyll's first long rest where Mizora stops by, the conversation will act like you've never met Karlach but nothing will break. You can just pretend Karlach was off somewhere in the bushes and Wyll is trying to hide the fact she's around or something, haha.

  For the cameras, there might still be some jank for short races or strong types I missed but I didn't see anything terrible in my testing. It shouldn't be worse than it is in vanilla lol. Let me know if something is super off! You can still kill Karlach with this mod installed, but since that's not really the point I didn't put any focus on camera angles that might happen if you choose the options that trigger combat. So if those are broken, I'm sorry, I don't have plans to fix them at this time.

  Summon Karlach Scroll - For the especially impatient or those using extra encounter mods!

  It only works in Act 1 and if you haven'trecruited Karlach yet. It will teleport Karlach to your location. Speak to her to initiate her recruitment dialogue. I tried moving the cutscene location with her and it.... was terrible. Camera angles were in the ground lol. Instead you will be temporarily "teleported" to the location on the beach and then be back where you summoned her when the cutscene is over. [
