G3 is pleased to announce the release of v1 of the Song and Silence mod!

Song and Silence is a WeiDU mod which seeks to expand possibilities for players of Bards and Thieves in BG2 or BG1 Tutu. Base classes and kits are modified, new kits are added, and there are even new items to discover!

The mod contains the following components:
- Bugfixes and tweaks to true class Bards and Thieves, and kits from the unmodded game.
- A new store for Bards and additional items for Thieves.
- Four new separate Bard kits: The Acrobat, Chorister, Dirgesinger and Gypsy.
- Four new separate Thief kits: The Adventurer, Burglar, Sharpshooter and Soulknife.

Please note that new HLAs have not yet been implemented. In the meantime you might like to try aVENGER's Rogue Rebalancing mod from http://www.forgottenwars.net . Install this before Song & Silence to get the benefits of both mods. The Rogue Rebalancing HLAs will be used as a starting point for future versions of Song & Silence.

Have fun!

How does this work with the Refinements mod? Do the new kits get the normal thief HLA's? Will the song and silence mod even be compatible with Refinements?

The new kits use the Thief/Bard base class HLAs. So if you install this with Refinements then the new kits will use the Refinements HLAs.

Good to hear. So is there any indication when you will finish your own HLAs, or can we rely on the good old 'when it's done' sentence?

Nice idea for a mod, though. The bard and thief classes were, compared to other classes, in need of additional kits.

When it is done.

In all serious, though, that might only be a month or so depending on how much free time we all get.

Rogue Rebalancing HLAs will be used as a base, which cuts down on work. And we've got several ideas for others already, so... It's mostly coding left to do.

And of course if you're playing Tutu, HLAs are mostly irrelevant.
