Restored Content - Isabela's First Scene

The restoration was planned for the 1. 7 update of Blick's Fixes, because Qwinn had added one fix to the .dlg file. But I thought this was something to be shared with the players who don't use Qwinn's Fixpack, too. Besides the restoration, I also created my own version of the Wicked Grace fix, so that I didn't have to use Qwinn's assets (his fix for the dialogue uses a custom file).

Not to spoil the restored lines - it's enough to visit the Pearl and trigger the exchange between the pirate lady and harassing thugs. The dialogues are expanded and still feel connected to the vanilla lines. Plus, another Isabela's comment was restored, it plays out after we learn the Duelist spec.

I also made sure Isabela and the ruffians are looking at each other during the scene and NOT at the player - something I've noticed Bioware forgot about in numerous ambient dialogues, where characters most certainly aren't speaking to our character and yet focus on them.

The additional fix:It's about a game of the Wicked Grace game thatIsabela offers.

Quote from Qwinn's notes: "When playing cards with Isabela, if Zevran or Leliana offer to help you, you would only get a chance to have them actually help you in 1 out of every 6 hands - but even if it never came up, you'd always win the hand anyway.

Now, once help is offered and accepted, you will always get the chance during the game to ask Zev or Lel for help - but you won't automatically win unless they actually do help you."

The mod doesn't need Qwinn's Fixpack nor Blick's Fixes installed to work. But it's compatible with Qwinn's changes to Isabela's .dlg file.

Update 1. 2 - merged the localised version with the main one and fixed two player responses. @Humanist1996 informed me of two unimmersively repeatable lines

Update 1. 1 - @orochimay's localised file has been checked and tested. It makes the restored lines work with ALL non-English localisations from now on.

Special dedication - a rare case when the change of an actor/actress turned out well, both ladies were brilliant in the role.
