📋 About This Mod
This mod aims to fix dialogue bugs that still permeate the game and in the process restore content that was cut. Some content was cut intentionally, but if I see a way to restore it that is not immersion-breaking, I endeavor to do so.
There are several incorrectly set flags that result in locking users out of content. Several subtitles are also incorrectly timed or just missing. It's a huge game. Mistakes were bound to happen. My goal is to restore that content and fix those bugs.
Fix Highlights:
-
[]Shovel's Act 1 recruitment/dialogue is fixed!!!
[
]Restored a missing mind meld sequence in Act 2 (spoilery details in list of fixes).[]Inaccessible Shadowheart dialogue has been restored in Act 2.
[]Withers will now have a new, different greeting for a Dark Urge who resisted in Act 3.
[]After learning about Astarion's vampirism, you are given second chance to ask him about himself. He will give you a different response from when you first met him.
[]Non-selunite Tavs romancing Shadowheart can now receive a kiss when selecting either option #3 or #4 after giving her the idol of Shar.
[]You can ask Shadowheart her opinion on all that's happened so far as many times as you like. She has different things to say depending on game progress. This option has been moved under "I want to talk about all that's happened to us."
[]Barcus can be recruited as a camp follower by your Tav in Grymforge. There is no longer a bug forcing you to use a companion to speak to him.
[]Shadowheart's pod-opening animation on the Nautiloid is fixed.
[]Shadowheart will only tell you about wanting to be a Dark Justiciar once. PLEASE PROVIDE FEEDBACK (It was very complicated and I did my best but it's hard to test.)
Please read changelogs!
This mod is a perpetual WIP. New fixes will be added as time goes on.
Restored version of Lae'zel vs. Shadowheart fight is now a SEPARATE file!! In hindsight, I believe Lae'zel version was cut very intentionally. If you would still like access to it, please down the second file.
If you want Halsin to never confess, or only confess if you've flirted with him first, check out the options in Platonic Halsin and load it after VDF.
This mod is compatible and recommended for use with
HyperspaceTowel's Epilogue bug fixes
HyperspaceTowel's Lesser Restoration
Nikjima's Raphael Restored - Last Light Fixes
More bug fixes! Yay!
Highly recommended! Larian patched some camera angles on the scene restored by this great mod, but the scene is still inaccessible without the mod. So go get your Raphael content!!
Credit and thanks go to HyperspaceTowel for pointing me to some of the inaccessible Shadowheart dialogues in Act 2. They were implemented in this mod with her permission.
