Only drawback to Sola is how late he becomes available. Even if you push up that all expense paid trip to the Underdark, it's still a while.
Chloe: Good, powerful, character but for some reason I ultimately found her kind of boring to have around. I think I remember having botched the romance bit of it though. Was there ever ToB content written for her?
Unfortunately, no. JCompton once wrote me that the'd all pretty much moved onto other projects--a sad fate that has happened to a number of excellent NPC mods.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Are you talking about Chloe or Keto? Chloe was made by LucytheBeast, not JC, Bons or other PPG folk :) But yes, there is no ToB content for Chloe, and won't be (unless someone adopts the project and all that)

The NPC mods that I know to have ToB (or are for ToB) content are: Kesley, Solaufein, Xan, Tsujatha, Saerileth, Yasraena, Tashia, the Longer Road, Kivan&Deheriana. Fade, Nathaniel and Amber are likely to have ToB content in the future.

Why would I be referring to Chloe, when I specifically said Keto? :confused:

You forgot Irenicus--who only has ToB content. ;)

If I am recruiting Sola or I'm making a push toward a certain rescue early, I find it's not too bad. I complete various minor quests like the Circus, the stuff related to the CC, the gang under the Temple sewers, along with dispatching that bunch of hoodlums in the Seven Vales. These all provide me with enough funds to make said trip ;)

It's a while, but certainly livable, and still leaves all of the major quests for chapter 6.

Can't return to the Underdark after you've gotten Sola, though, can you? So you still have to clear all the quests there before you can leave.

Hmm.. Good point, I 've heard he doesn't appeciate you killing any Drow you come across even if they initiate the attack. I guess the way around this would be to do those particular side quests before you are actually instructed to... It's a bit antithetical to roleplaying, I know... but it is reasonable to suppose that a party could stumble across said areas quite unwittingly.
Or, you can have Sola meet up with you on the surface, so another possibility would be to go through the usual gauntlet after "business" is completed, then rest up and return, taking Sola into your party only after you've properly explored the Underdark.

Er? You replied to a quote (quoted above) that was a description of Chloe and you did not mentioned Keto at all :)

Heh, it's on the list: the mod is called "The Longer Road"

Yasraena, Chloe are some of my favorite npc mods. Well written and the characters are prety interesting.
