Baldur’s Gate 2 modding

During our teens, my now-wife and I made NPC mods for Baldur’s Gate II. Modding taught me a lot! I learned about putting work out for an audience, handling criticism, coding and scripting, interactive writing, and making friends online.

Faren Blacknall
A former adventurer of Trademeet, stuck in the cells for starting a bar brawl, Faren is going nowhere – but joining up with the PC is the perfect way to get back on the road. Easygoing, cheerful and with a nose for trouble, Faren is just right for players who want a laidback but heartfelt romance and friendship. (Dual-classed Fighter/Thief)

The Luxley Family
Sebastian, a worldly, frivolous playwright, drags his cousin Andrei, a naive monk, into the PC’s life. Afflicted by their centuries-old family curse, this pair of NPCs are in need of help – and mysteries, revelations and dilemmas ensue! (Bard/Monk)

Nathaniel Aplin-Fletcher
Nathaniel was our first project, and has the honour of being the first gay male romance in the modding community. A former guard hailing from the city of Baldur’s Gate, Nathaniel is an earnest, sincere person with a lot of feelings who wants to do the right thing. (Kensai)
