Version 0.9.7

March 21, 2023

This release is a logical follow-up to 0.9.6 and continues our changes in Chapter 4.

We added several companion conversations to the beginning of Chapter 4 and expanded the post-Arena and post-Areelu dialogs.

We also added some post-Colyphyr reactions to the end of Chapter 4.

The doppelganger discussion with Herrax in Camellia's Q2 was expanded, and we added randomized reactions for the active party members.

We also had to fix some of our own pet peeves. For example, Lann now recognizes Wenduag's father, and the player can greet Sosiel in Lost Chapel (Chapter 2) without any innuendo.


P.S Put a hat on Lann? Yes!

Major changes

  • Chapter 1-5 Lann

    If the player asks Lann whether he can wear a hat and also has the Magnificent Plume Hat from the Commander's Pack DLC, they can put it on Lann (choose "I want to know more about you").

  • Chapter 2 Lost Chapel Multiple characters

    Added new lines for meeting Ember & Daeran, Regill, and Sosiel.

    Now every Commander can appreciate Sosiel being alive without trying to hit on him.

  • Chapter 4 Beginning Multiple characters

    Added new companion conversations available at the beginning of Chapter 4 in the Nexus.

    Companion lines added for:

    • Camellia (references her romance, if active)
    • Greybor
    • Lann (references his Q2 in this chapter and his romance, if active)
    • Regill
    • Seelah
    • Woljif*
      * in his optional module to prevent any potential conflicts with the "Woljif romance mod"
  • Chapter 4 Beginning Hand of the Inheritor

    At the very beginning of Chapter 4, when the player asks, "Will we have to move onward all together?", the Hand will advise the Commander to talk more with the companions.

  • Chapter 4 Beginning Arueshalae

    Unlocked Arueshalae's Chapter 4 dialog about Desna's protection for all players (even if they never saw the butterfiles that saved Arueshalae).

  • Chapter 4 post-Colyphyr Multiple characters

    Fixed the post-Colyphyr discussion with the companions who were left in the Nexus: the player no longer needs to click [Talk to your companions] 50+ times to see all the replies.

    If any of the romanced companions (Daeran, Lann, Arueshalae, Camellia, or Sosiel) were not in the active party, they will now comment on it.

  • Chapter 4 post-Areelu Greybor

    Added a new dialog for Greybor.

  • Chapter 4 post-Arena Multiple characters

    Added new post-Arena dialogs for

    • Greybor (references his respect level)
    • romanced Camellia.
  • Chapter 4 post-Arena Multiple characters

    Added new post-Arena one-liners for most of the not-romanced and non-romanceable companions (except Seelah and Greybor who already have full dialogs).

    All these companions now greet the Commander with a special post-Arena dialog opening line.

    Companion one-liners added for:

    • non-romanced Arueshale
    • non-romanced Daeran
    • Ember
    • non-romanced Lann
    • Regill
    • non-romanced Camellia
    • non-romanced Sosiel
    • Woljif*
      * in his optional module to prevent any potential conflicts with the "Woljif romance mod"

Enhancements

  • Chapter 4 Lann: Q2 Lann

    Lann now recognizes the old mongrels' chieftain - Wenduag's father - during his encounter with Savamelekh.

  • Chapter 4 Lann: Q2 Lann

    We reworked the lines in his Nexus dialog that starts his quest. They now reference his mod conversation from the beginning of Chapter 4.

    We also added new, friendlier lines to the dialog in front of Savamelekh's mansion.

  • Chapter 4 Meeting Areelu Daeran Seelah

    If the player chooses the line where they don't believe Areelu in the Nocticula's Palace, Daeran (and Seelah, if she is in the active party) will comment on her response about the gods.

  • Chapter 3 Lann Romance

    During the sparring match with Lann, if the Commander is a spellcaster or if she does not like melee combat (fails the Athletics 28 check), Lann will comment on that.

    A spellcasting Commander also has a different line after the sparring match.

Revisions

  • Chapter 4 Camellia: Q2 Multiple characters

    Fixed and enhanced the outcome of the doppelganger encounter at the Ten Thousand Delights (originally added in 0.9.6).

    Now Herrax always has something to say after leaving that room, and every companion (except Ember) has a chance to be mentioned.
    So all the party members could be disgusted equally!

  • Chapter 4 post-Arena Sosiel Romance

    Finished romanced Sosiel's dialog (originally added in 0.9.6): now some lines can reference Sosiel's quest stage and Trever's fate.

  • Chapter 1 Lann Romance

    Changed Lann's closing line for active romance (originally added in 0.9.5) in Chapter 1, so he does not start simping after the Commander if she flirted with him ONCE.
