Introduction


One of the things many find sorely lacking in the Bioware NPCs are the more complex relationships presented by modern NPC mods--especially in regards to "friendships", the relationships NPCs have with the PC when not romancing them.

This mod adds a series of dialogues with Korgan.

Installation


Windows

The Korgan Friendship is a WeiDU mod, packaged in an extractable .ZIP archive. Simply unpack the mod package into your Baldur's Gate II directory and run "setup-Korgan.exe".

To un-install, run "setup-korgan.exe" again and select the un-install option.




Compatibility and Installation Order

The Korgan Friendship mod should be compatible with all WeiDU mods, however, we cannot test every single one. It is only compatible with BGII: ToB. If you do encounter an error, please let us know by posting the message at our forums.

Although it is not required for the Korgan Friendship to function properly, it is always a good idea install the latest version of the BG2 Fixpack.

Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Is the Korgan Friendship compatible with XYZ mod?
A: It most certainly should be, but we have not tested it with every single mod available.

Q: When will the friendship start?
A: After you join Korgan and finish his personal quest. The mod is build slightly differently than the other IEP mods - to enjoy most of the talks you'll need to visit some taverns and get Korgan drunk. You'll find details in the dialogue.

Q: This mod isn't in character at *all*.
A: We're always looking for ways to improve the characterisation in this mod, so please post any suggestions or constructive criticism on the forums.

Q: Have you got any plans to expand the mod by adding more dialogues in future?
A: There are no current plans to add to the mod, no, but feel free to make suggestions!

Q: How many dialogues are there added in total?
A: With this mod installed, you should be able to experience up to 18 dialogues in SoA (2 of those are recoded original dialogues) and up to 7 dialogues in ToB.

Q: Does this mod change the game in any way besides adding more dialogue to Korgan?
A: No, it shouldn't.

Q: Is there any chance that player initiated dialogue will be added in future?
A: There are currently no plans for it.

Q: I would like to translate the Korgan friendship into another language. Any chance you could TRAify the mod?
A: Sure, we'd be happy to. If you are interested in translating, just send us a line and I'll see what I can do for the next version.
