BGI cameos in BGII

Post by Pellinore »

Spoilers****






I have just realized that there are several BGi characters making appearances in SoA. Tiax, Quayle, Garrick, Brennan Riesling, Faldorn, Ajantis (he is one of the *** you*** in Windspear Hills ;) at the beginning). I am trying to remember if there are any more...

The following NPCs from BG1 appear in BG2 (or they are prominently mentioned), but they're dead:

Perhaps there should be a spoiler warning attached to this thread?


There are also mods that make several Bg1 NPC's playable in Bg2
Over at Pocket Plane there is Kulyok's Xan Romance
At G3 Domi's Kivan and Deheriana
At CoM Blood Raven is working on updating her Alora mod, and Magnus is developing Yeslick.

I believe there was work on a Shar-Teel project but that has been abandonned, although I think that there are German mods that add both Shar-Teel and Ajantis.
