Third party custom content

[Wired]

We are interested in soliciting from the community suggestions for third party custom content you would like to see included in Dasaria2, aside from the following which are already planned:

DMFI 1.10b
Heeds PC Tools
Item Appearance Changer
Less Obtrusive Spell Buffs

Please try to keep the milieu in mind with your suggestions, eg, medium-magic, human-centric, etc.

To be honest, most of the places I have played around on tend to stay away from a great deal of outside custom content.

*in a small, cowardly voice*

I wouldn't mind a hak...

Well less is more, a perfectly fine answer. Nonetheless, overrides are going to be gone soon, so if there's something you'd like to have (eg DMFI, which is definitely in), either we'll be distributing it as part of a HAK, or you won't have access to it at all.

[Peregrinus]

I think some custom weapon & armor models would be nice. Das1 had some which worked quiet well, and I wouldn't mind more styles of weapons than the rather bland NWN2 ones. There's also some custom hair character customization packs in the community that I'm sure would be popular.

Expanded soundset choices; I usually drop a soundset.2da in override for char creation and then remove it for playing, been using the same one since NWN2 was released and not sure what's out there currently, but probably some updated versions on the vault.

I wouldn't mind some custom Weapons, as they were said to only be availible in a Hak, if they could be managed at some point if we require a hak, such as throwing knives, and wieldable books.

[Mon-da-oth]

Oh man to be able to throw an ale bottle. That would be awesome!

[The Explorer]

Agreed Mon that would be so cool.

Are you guys going to add whips ingame as weapons? I have seen them on some listings but never seen one ingame.

I would love to see more content, since I think it could really make Dasaria unique. I found a bunch of cool hak paks that could really add some neat stuff.

First off, weapons: Swords, elven weaponry, hand axes, double spears.

Tilesets and others: Building Construction Kit, lots of cool RWS stuff such as Pocket Citadel, Tower Rooms, Dungeons, Deep Chasms, Towers, Deep Halls, Deep Sewer, Cave Entrances, Bridges, Snow!, City Parts, City Walls, Watchtowers, More Textures, Ruins.

PC Customization: Hair (much needed longer hair), More Hair, Hats, Playable NPC Heads.

I would really like to see more heads and hair, because all of the default one's are ugly. Also, more clothes and armor would be nice.

Cool Stuff: The Bard's Tool, Heed's ActionSit, Backpacks, Animated Catapult, Boardable Ships, Fishing, Severed Heads.

[Vahene]

I had to look at them, because, how often do you see 'severed heads' on a list like this - but the description of them sounds really cool. No true blue evil person would want to be without their very own severed head! With dripping blood! When I think of the party members I could freak out with that, I get all tingly inside.. *grins oddly*

On the question side, are there any haks or anything that have created two-bladed swords? I really miss those.

The only other thing I can think of that I'd like to see (and the fishing one looks neat too, and the boardable ships), but I'd love for the color pots to come back that we had in Das1 - they were little pots, of various colors, that you could use on your armor, and it would change them color. I know the item changer can sorta do this, but keep in mind, in Das1, you had the ability to change it yourself (still for a cost), without needing to go somewhere specific and see a specific NPC for the changes... since Das2 doesn't have that, I just thought that color pots might give us more options (like including the color periwinkle.. *grumbles*).

Vahene cracks me up.

Colored pots for everyone!

I guess it's easy to go overboard with the haks, but I'd like to see more tilesets and monster models. I'm not sure if it is legal but it would be cool to include tilesets and mobs from MoTB and SoZ until we upgrade.

[Shorn]

I liked a great many of Chimps suggestions, but lack the will to think about them now. Doo eet!

[Wired]

There's no dye armor in NWN2, no. The properties are there but they don't do anything.

[Atharin]

Less Obtrusive Spell Buffs

Please, NO. This should be kept strictly optional. Some of us like the original VFXs.
