***************************************** * BANK of BALDUR'S GATE * * A mod for EET * * Version 0.3 * * by Lassal * ***************************************** 1. OVERVIEW =========== The main idea of this mod is a thought, that often player is left without money. And it's stupid that there is not a single bank in the big city of Baldur's Gate. So I wrote this mod. Near the Iron Throne Headquarters, there is a locked dwelling with ogre magi inside. This is the Ducal Bank of Baldur's Gate, that was blocked due to robbing by ogres. After you kill the ogre magi, you may return after one day passed, and find that bank returned to work. Go to second floor and open an account by talking to director Billboo. You can deposit or withdraw your money at any time. Director will be waiting for you near bank after initial happenings of Siege of Dragonspear, so you can withdraw your money from your account if needed. WARNING: in BG2 campaign, if you want to go to the bank and retrieve your money, you need to install a separate mod that enables visiting Baldur's Gate city after BG2 part started. PPPS Don't know how to rename location name or place location on area map yet. 2. INSTALLATION =============== Standard for WeiDU mods. Unpack contents of archive in your game folder, and run setup-bank_of_baldurs_gate.exe. For Mac OS and Linux, please read the instructions here: 3.
