Hi, I'm back on my bullshit but with Baldur's Gate this time. Can y'all help me report this mod?

The author is claiming "variety" for Wyll, but it's just egregiously antiblack. Most of the mod white washes Wyll, while the rest removes his blackness to replace it with other identities - which is still extremely antiblack.

[Image ID: Three headshots of the offensive mod linked above. The first image is an edit of Wyll from Baldur's Gate 3 - a black man with cornrows, scars and a missing eye - so that he has a mustache and goatee instead of the stubble he usually has. The second image is Wyll but white washed, with wavy hair and tan skin - along with the same goatee and mustache as the first. The third image is the same as the second, but this version is much more noticeably white and now has blue eyes. /.End ID]

They're defending this as "just for fun" and have asked to steer clear of racial discussions, and have admitted to deleting comments that call them out.

[Image ID:

Screenshot of a post by Nexus Mods user Fesstrom, who made the mod, that says: Endorse/ Vote / Share if you like this mod :)

Let's keep politics outta this comment section, folks. If you're into race discussions, there are better places for that. This thing I whipped up is just for fun. Figured I'd share it for those, like me, on their fourth playthrough, looking to spice things up a bit.

Even if you're showing some love for the mod, let's steer clear of political debates and anything that could come off as hateful. Otherwise, I might have to delete your post, no matter how much effort you put into crafting it. Appreciate your understanding.

Further political, offtopic, reactionary, presumptuous and/or unconstructive comments will be deleted and the user banned from my mod pages. /.End ID]

So if you could help by reporting this garbage mod, that would be greatly appreciated 🙏 This is awful and he doesn't deserve this bullshit from modders.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #wyll ravengard #bg3 wyll #bg3 mods #racism #whitewashing #original #wyll #ive already reported both the mod itself and the creator's pinned comment. let's get this piece of shit off nexus #also im not at all surprised that bg3 has the same modding issues as ffxiv. shit's dire and i hate it in both places 💀

Fantasy and Racism

For those who have not heard about it yet: There is a very racist and queerphobic game mod for Baldur's Gate 3. A mod that basically removes all queerness from the game as well as modding all non-white characters white. All obviously under the excuse of "but that is realistic because medieval fantasy world". Which is bullshit. I talked about it before. But it is bullshit and we all know it.

It is one of the reasons I so rarely engage with a lot of high fantasy media. Because so much of it - especially of course the big franchises - kinda succumbs to this idea of a very white, very straight, very cis medieval period, in which disabled kids probably are also like killed by the time of their birth or get "fixed" with magic.

Of course there is diverse high fantasy out there. But definitely the "norm" for the genre is something else. Now, of course there are works that still work in themes about this (The Witcher most of all), but yeah... A lot of high fantasy media LOVES TO HIDE behind the "oh, but that would be wrong historically!" excuse.

And as someone who is a history nerd, I never stop to get super angry about this. The middle ages were actually fucking queer and there were a lot of people who lived openly queer. We know about medieval trans folks, too - and given the fact that we know about less than 1% who lived during those 1000 years - there were a ton more.

We also know that there were people from Africa, the Arab world and Asia living in medieval Europe. Some of them have come there with the Romans, others have come there for research and trade. (The first European person in Japan, was a Roman, by the way.)

Meanwhile most of fantasy is very unrealistic when it comes to things like how society works or how HISTORY ITSELF works. Like, so much of medieval Europe was directly influenced by how Roman society, Christianity and the indigenous cultures of Europe interacted. But guess what? Most fantasy worlds do not have something like Rome in their background, do not have an institution like the Catholic Church, and also do not have any indigenouity. Your average fantasy world was born with folks having medieval technology and over the next 2000 years are very unlikely to develop past medieval technology. Which is very, very unrealistic. But guess what the folks who whine about gays in their medieval fantasy do not complain about?

And that is of course without going into the most obvious stuff: There were no elves in medieval Europe. There were no dwarves, no halflings, no gnomes, no orcs, no goblins, no dragons, no magic, no... Do I need to go on? And there was also not a big group of people running around raiding some old graves and ruins (which were also trapped with all sorts of magic and what not). And indeed there were no gods that threatened to END THE FUCKING WORLD at least once per decade.

Heck, speaking about Baldur's Gate 3 itself, I am more frustrated that there are not more non-white persons around. Like, the only east Asian character I have interacted with was Cazador as far as I remember, and that... is not really great representation, you know? Like, I would have liked to have another non-white companion at least.

Especially as... Well, Faerûn/Toril is not the real world. So, for fuck's sake. The folks within that world can crossover as much as the IP holders want them to.

I mean, fuck. You know what exists within Faerûn? CHOCOLATE! Something that not only was not available in medieval Europe because the beans grew in the Americas, but something that in the form we associate with it was not invented until the 19th century!

Just, yeah. Fuck people who complain about "historical accuracy", because something is diverse and includes rep. Just fuck them.

Introducing Vierae, my newest tav and the star of my next playthrough.

She's a drow from Menzoberranzan, former entertainer and assassin, now a budding cleric of Eilistraee and seeker of Corellon's favor. Her kidnapping aboard the nautiloid kicks off what will eventually come to be known to Eilistraee devotees across Faerûn as The Longest Run.

At a glance:

Name: Vierae Gysselylth (drow for "Dark Dancer", elven for "Clan of the Blade")

Race: Seldarine Drow (Ancestry: Udadrow)

Background: Guild Artisan

Class: Bard (College of Swords) / Cleric (Life Domain) / Rogue (Thief)

Alignment: Chaotic/Neutral Good

Motivation: Grant aide and succor to those who suffer; seek retribution on those who would conquer, enslave and slaughter; if accepted, entice other drow to walk with her, and offer shelter to all from the cruelty of Lolth and other wicked gods.

Also she's wearing Shadowheart's armor in that pic above cause for this playthrough I'm using the SH Concept Art and Arm Tattoo mods cause I think they look neat :)

The gear has some minor bonuses fitting a trickery cleric too, which is nice considering this is a tactician run and trickery domain will need all the help it can get until Act 2 stuff happens.

I'm meeting Larian halfway with their changes to drow lore regarding eye color. She is technically Seldarine but, growing up in the underdark for 100+ years means you kinda have to be lolth-sworn to survive. Not that the spider queen's favor ever got anywhere near her.

The left eye being pink is just me continuing my trend of giving all my trans characters heterochromia to represent the magical influence of fantasy hrt. Yeah, turns out growing up a super closeted trans girl as a male-born scion isn't easy, even if your house is minor in comparison to the big players.

A bit of backstory:

She was blessed from an early age with a rarity among the drow—the ability to dream. Though infrequent, her dreams were filled with images of the surface night sky, and the elegant figure of the Dark Dancer. She longed to visit, but no means were at her disposal other than unspeakable work in surface raiding parties, and the occasional assassin work. It was only by virtue of getting captured by an enclave of Eilistraeen worshippers who offered her succor and acceptance if she abandon her evil ways and accept the Silver Lady's invitation to dance among the stars and the trees.

Taking to her studies easily, she sought a place among the priesthood. Though at the time the clergy was opening up more freely to male worshippers, she learned quickly of the so-called "Changedance" that was practiced in earlier times, where as a rite of passage novice clerics would conduct a holy dance that transformed their body from male to female, and vice-versa. She practiced tirelessly, mastering the dance in short order, and upon seeing her reflection in the still waters of the river lit by the full moon, she beheld the Dark Dancer in her dreams; it was her all along. Her true self.

She wept for the first time in her life.

Naturally, she enjoyed staying in the Changedance's form for longer than any of her male cleric peers. While the temporary reprieve was satisfying, she sought more permanent options. Her artisan upbringing proved valuable, as she learned from several of her fellow priestesses how to concoct the alchemical medicines that can change the body's shape and feel to reflect who they are in their heart. While not a complete transformation, her ability to fill out a bra and entice the gaze of young men (and not a few women) have been encouraging.

Dedicated to the Eilistraeen cause of harmony amongst the peoples of Toril, Vierae has been on many runs, to rescue underdark drow who sought escape from the grasp of Lolth's cult, to defending surface settlements from the very lolth-sworn raiding parties she was once a reluctant part of. Yet everywhere, what good faith they can harbor in non-drow communities soon sours as old suspicions and base prejudices re-assert themselves.

Seeking another way, Vierae has conducted extensive research on the worship of Corellon, sire to her Dark Lady, and ruler of all elves. If she could only entreat the teachings of Eilistraee to a few open-minded communities of elves, they may yet find wider acceptance. Thus she was in the process of a pilgrimage to petition Corellon's blessing, when the nautiloid snatched her up.

And as Astarion said, "First thing's first." She can save no one until she's saved herself, but that won't stop her from trying at every opportunity along the way. Her pilgrimage has led her to the Risen Road, and Baldur's Gate is the ultimate destination, where she either shows herself to be worthy of the gods' favor, or prove those who fear her to be right.

Inspiration for this Tav: @mass-effect-galaxy's Eilistraee Sword Dancer (general protagonist motivations, plus the hair was so good)

HoboZone's Dancer of Eilistraee Remastered Build (for the dual worship of Eilistraee and Corellon reflected in a dual wielder build)

Modlist:

No More Looping VFX And SFX

SK's More CC Colours

Shadowheart's Tattoos

Asymmetrical Shadowheart Concept Outfit

Shibariwaluigi's NPC Hair Edits

Two-Handed Longsword Finesse - mostly just to have a longsword as main arms until picking up dual wielder and Phalar Aluve

Bard Fixes And Tweaks - just to bring ranged flourishes down to melee's level, since this character's RP demands using melee whenever possible

More Reactive Companions - since this is a second playthrough I wanted to hear from the companions more, and swap to them so they can have the spotlight now and again.

Phalar Aluve - Legendary - adds combine items in Acts 2 and 3 to upgrade Phalar Aluve to a Very Rare and Legendary version.

Yet another Tav

Would love it if she could romance Dammon but sadly that's not an option. I think I'll give Gale a try on this playthrough and use that Born to be Anyone mod to take some screenshots with Dammon in them. More about her is under the cut.

Her background is a MGIT (Modern girl/guy in Toril) situation. A "What would you do if you woke up in a mindflayer pod as a tiefling and what would you do with your knowledge of the game?" story going forward. Versions of this have been done in other fandoms before. It's one of my fav writing prompts and delightfully self-indulgent. Want to do one too? Go for it I say.

Currently, I'm working on a tentative fic about this for fun. But not even chapter one is close to being polished enough to post it yet.

Why does she look so human? After some digging into the lore around tieflings, I found it interesting how humans, elves, etc can be transformed permanently into Tieflings through powerful magic of course. The range of how demonic they look is a spectrum too. So I thought to make her look more human since she used to be one. My fave thing about her is her brown glowing eyes and her near-constant confused look on her face. Oh, and her freckles!

I just discovered that the mod i'm using to make Fido invulnerable does many other things as well. Which i am incorporating because it delights me how unhinged it is in context, with few exceptions.

So it doesn't actually make them invulnerable, it just makes it so you have unlimited Attacks, 40ft movement speed, makes your AC some number i can't actually find but i know its higher than the 11 its displaying, and gives you access to Eldritch Blast with three beams. Dissonant Whispers does like 400 damage. Vicious Mockery does 200. Weapon attacks always crit. You get advantage on all rolls and +15 to all checks. I legitimately cannot overstate how op this ring makes you.

To keep the game fun i'm limiting myself to one attack per turn and normal movement.

What i've chosen to keep is the concept that Fido found a magic ring connected to a Great Old One. How did it end up on earth? Well, canonically Earth is part of the planar system, and portals between it and Toril exist. They just dropped through a similar portal while wearing the ring and are currently using the power of this talisman for evil. AKA not dying the milisecond they step on a rock too hard.

It's their own version of "i got sent to another world with my smart phone" or w/e. Normal bard stats if they remove the ring, which i'm going to say for narrative sake cannot actually be done. Because Mol's little hooligans would have yoinked that thing the second they set foot in the grove and i know this.

That said the likelihood of Fido ever finding this out is slim because unless the GOO tied to the ring talks to them, their knowledge of dnd things is expressly like... The Adventure Zone and surrounding wiki walks at 3am. Their assumption is just that they lucked into a wildly powerful item and oh no what's the downside. Because there has to be one.

Basically Fido is theoretically overpowered, and functionally restricted by not actually knowing why they can do literally any of it.

Raidne I love you

I caved and downloaded a bunch of mods, basically because I have this D&D character I want to RP, but my current campaign is still on-going so it's going to have to wait. So, in the meantime, I will RP her in BG3.

Here is my modded-to-the-hells tav. Name: Raidne

Class: Artificer / Guild Artisan

Age: 30

Race: Cambion I swear my intentions are pure, I am not one of those D&D players trying to break the game.

Backstory: Typical half-fiend sob story, her mother was a Gondian and her father is an Incubus named Harleep who she met exactly once when he took her from Toril to go serve in the hells like a good little cambion.

Below the cut is where I dumped my notes, in case I take a break from this game and have to come back to it later and try to remember what the deal was. Generally, the base game narrative doesn't break immersion much, even with the mods, and when that does happen, I'm rewriting those scenes to make it make sense for my RP madness, because it's a game and I can do what I want:

Raidne grew up in about as supportive a mortal household as you can expect, meaning they didn't immediately cast her into the hells or just leave her in the wilderness to die, but raised her in a cautious household. Big family, a mixture of gnomes and humans, and then this one cambion. Like most cambions raised in Toril, she was naturally disposed to mischief growing up, and disciplined pretty harshly as a result. She was also largely ostracized by her peers, and had nobody apart from her incredibly stubborn family, who did love her, but also were kind of out to prove that she wasn't destined to become a evil bastard just because she was a half-fiend bastard, and her relationship with them was always strained because of the pressure they put on her to basically be perfect in order to make up for their own prejudices. She did like to get into trouble, especially when she was young, and she was not blind to the fact that she always received harsher punishments than anyone else for similar offences. Eventually, around the same time that Harleep did whatever it was that got him into enough trouble to become the personal Incubus to a cambion, her existence was discovered in the hells and she was inducted into service at Harleep's suggestion. When it came time for him to perform a very secret favor to an archdevil who is not within the hierarchy he's current under, the fact that he had a secret half-fiend Artificer daughter to offer up, was pretty convenient for him. To keep her people safe, Raidne went quietly and, similar to Karlach began service in the hells against her will, and more like Dammon, was employed not as a soldier, but as an Artificer. Her seven years in the hells was mostly monotonous and lonely, rather than tortuous and harrowing. She did good work, kept to herself, and made zero attempts to escape until she saw the nautiloid, at which point, she made the admittedly impulsive decision to make a run for it. And she absolutely did not think this through, and if she had, might never have escaped hell at the risk of being infected with a mind flayer parasite.

It was bad in hell, and she's glad she's not there any longer, but her prospects in Toril aren't great either. She doesn't want to return to her family, as she believes they are better off mourning her than knowing her again. Some part of her is actually grateful for the infection and this unexpected quest to find a cure, because it gives her something to do while in the back of her mind, she tries to figure out where she should go from here. Where can she go? She's legitimately never thought about it before, even to dream. She's always just taken it for granted that she has no real home.

She doesn't belong anywhere, and that's not going to change just because she saves the swordcoast.

Her state of mind at the beginning of Act One is a mixed-bag. She's excited and elation at (really for the first time in her life) being free to do as she likes, and honestly finds everyone she meets to be utterly delightful. She has a lot of internalised hatred for herself as a cambion, and is especially mistrustful of other cambions, so just the fact that she's in the company of people who she deems as automatically less evil and more trustworthy means she has a somewhat warped view of all her companions as these sweet innocent people who are all at least initially totally worthy of her unconditional trust. She's also not at all feeling all her feelings right now though, somewhat on purpose. If she didn't have something to do, she'd probably be sinking into despair, and when things get very quiet, that's exactly what happens. In order of recruitment - Lae'zel: Her first impression of Lae'zel is that this is the coolest person she's ever met. And she's so nice. She's always saying exactly what she means and she's never trying to trick you (which is what Raidne considers nice) unlike a lot of soldiers, Lae'zel just relies on her pure might, and she's so strong, and dramatic and smart. Raidne is baffled when other people describe Lae'zel as unlikable, or harsh, or rude. She views Lae'zel as honest and objectively correct most of the time. Genuinely wants to go straight to the creche, but gets very distracted by the tiefling refugees for reasons discussed below.

Shadowheart: Immediately picks up on the vibe of her being a worshipper of some dark god and then just as immediately forgets about it, because nothing could possibly matter less to Raidne than the gods. Shadowheart is only marginally less cool than Lae'zel, by virtue of not liking Lae'zel. She would describe Shadowheart as "sweet" and "sensitive" and is genuinely shocked when Shadowheart starts to elaborate on her extensive knowledge of psychological torture. Rather than these new revelations changing her view of Shadowheart, she actually just comes to respect her more as someone who is shrewd, knowledgeable and dangerous, while still being capable of deep empathy. Astarion: Meeting Astarion is really uncomfortable for Raidne because she finds him relatable in all the sad ways. And the fact that he's on his guard and assumes that they are mind flayer thralls causes her to realizes that this is actually a really rational thought to have and she should have had it herself before she just up and joined with the first people she met. It causes her to reflect on the fact that she might be a little too eager to form a crew, and maybe her isolation for the past seven years (read, her whole life, actually) has made her ill-equipped to judge people. She spirals a bit as a direct result of this first encounter and doesn't really start to know Astarion as a person for a couple of days, which is also why she doesn't pick up on the fact that he's the platonic ideal of a vampire and not at all subtle about any of it. Also, she absolutely noticed he had no reflection, but didn't think about it much, because she's very used to people just sometimes not having a reflection, due to hell lore. She feels incredibly stupid when Astarion tries to bite her and she finally, FINALLY figures it out. She's actually not even a little bit mad at that point, because she's too preoccupied being disappointed in herself to really feel any actual betrayal.

Gale: Gale is the first person she meets who makes a cure seem like a truly viable outcome, and she takes a lot of strength from his confidence and expertise. Unfortunately, this first impression of him is a high point in their Act One relationship. She quickly starts to distrust him and his judgement because a) she picks up on the fact that he implicitly trusts her, which she thinks he should not do because she in no way knows what she's doing, and is a half-fiend, who trusts a half-fiend? and b) she can tell he's hiding something, and guesses that it's big enough to threaten the people around him. She's torn between wanting him to come clean about it, and also not wanting to know, in case it's bad enough that they "can't be friends anymore."

Karlach: Raidne has a weird relationship with tieflings, almost infantilizing. She recognizes that there's a lot of similarities not just visually, but in how the stigma of cambion bad behaviour has affected them, though they are much closer to mortals than a half-fiend like herself. She experiences a similar uncomfortable moment of self-reflection when she meets Karlach, but because she just went through this with Astarion, she's a little quicker to shrug it off and see Karlach, and then she immediately bonds with her, much, much more quickly than with any of the other companions. She's very protective of her, and determined to see her succeed, and she does actually have just enough self-awareness to realize that she might be vicariously working through some stuff when it comes to her new bff Karlach. She also feels some type of way about the fact that she can't personally help Karlach with her engine, and makes getting Dammon's help priority number one.

Wyll: Because she's so protective of Karlach, Raidne's impression of Wyll is pretty bad, but she takes a moment, and takes a deep breath and sees how Karlach understands him, so she makes an effort to understand him too, and really means it when she tells Karlach that he's the best of them. His transformation almost serves as a second first impression for her, as she completely forgets her initial anger and disgust and instead embraces him as a devil, much more like herself now, and wishes he see himself the way she does. She's also completely blown away by the idea of this young person going off on his own, being left to his own devices and making the choice to be his own person and live up to his own ideals, even with a Mizora shaped anchor making it difficult for him. She finds him genuinely inspiring and decides as a direct result of their conversations, that no matter what, she'll never serve the hells or anyone working for that system again.

This will be challenged later.

Auri’s Neverwinter Nights Mods

Outside of DA and TES, I’ve also modded the Neverwinter Nights series of games. I don’t have many mods for them, though, and they are largely unsupported, as I rarely play these games anymore.

Neverwinter Nights

Gods of Toril

https://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter/mods/902

This is a simple modder's resource module for NWN:EE that includes custom creature blueprints for the 30 major gods of Toril as they are described in the 3e sourcebook, Faiths and Pantheons: Azuth, Bane, Chauntea, Cyric, Eilistraee, Gond, Helm, Ilmater, Kelemvor, Kossuth, Lathander, Lolth, Malar, Mask, Mielikki, Mystra, Oghma, Selûne, Shar, Shaundakul, Silvanus, Sune, Talos, Tempus, Torm, Tymora, Tyr, Umberlee, Uthgar, and Waukeen. The only area in the module is just there for the purpose of getting to the templates in the toolset. There's nothing in it. The deity blueprints are in the Creatures palette on the Custom -> Special tab and grouped by alignment in the Custom 1, 2, and 3 categories. Originally, I had planned to make this a small quest module where the player would have to go through a gantlet of the gods from weakest to strongest before reaching the end. A good chunk of the last year was spent creating and then pitting these gods against each other in order to get that ranking (some fights taking up to 45 minutes to complete - I thought they'd never end). Unfortunately, by the time I was ready for the quest creation part, I lost motivation, and so I decided to upload what I had as a modder's resource, instead. If you're interested in the test results, they're at the end of the mod description on the Nexus mod page, along with extensive notes about the gods' NPC AI. Ultimately, you are free to use these blueprints in your own modules/creations so long as you give me credit for the extensive work I put into making them. Please don't upload this module as it is to any other website, however.

Neverwinter Nights 2

Judge of the Damned

https://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter2/mods/236/?

This mod gives the Lord of the Dead a new look - sharper and more lore-friendly, with a couple of bug fixes. I love Mask of the Betrayer. It is among my most favorite games of all time. But the end is lacking a little punch for our illustrious narrator. I'm the kind of player who likes to repeat the original campaigns, and I got a little tired of Kelemvor's bland and buggy look. This mod aims to provide a better, more lore-friendly texture for him...and fix a few problems with his body model, should you follow the included tutorial.

True Fatal Touch

https://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter2/mods/1171

Years ago, I fixed Kelemvor's outfit, and nine years later I'm fixing his sword, lol. Well. His sword doesn't actually show up in-game (unfortunately), but reference to it does appear in the Doomguide PrC added by Storm of Zehir. But even though the developers did an admirable job at transferring the pen-and-paper features of the Doomguide to NWN2's engine, they missed one huge error in the recreation - in the feat description of the Bond of Fatal Touch, they refer to Kelemvor's weapon as a scythe, when it is, in fact, a bastard sword. Indeed, it is correct everywhere else in the game BUT the Doomguide's signature power description, which perhaps makes the mistake even more frustrating to a loremonger like myself. XD Thus, this mod corrects the errors in the description of the Bond of Fatal Touch special ability, including a typo, the lack of italicization of the weapon's name, and the non lore-friendly icon (see the images for before and after pics). I also fixed the missing colon in the class description that was hidden by the severe slant of the italics in Fatal Touch's name. Now there are no more references to scythes where they don't belong or other small annoyances. :) Unfortunately, in order to make these corrections, I had to edit the dialog.tlk file, which means you will have to overwrite any modded dialog.tlk with the one included in this download or merge it yourself to have both. PLEASE BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL DIALOG.TLK in your My Documents -> Neverwinter Nights 2 folder (if you have one there) BEFORE INSTALLING THIS MOD IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG. If you don't have one there, you're good to go. To fix the icon, you'll need to drop the included altered feat.2da in the My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/override folder. Naturally, this mod is incompatible with any other mod that alters the dialog.tlk or the feat.2da file. Also, in order to use this mod, you will need to have Storm of Zehir installed.

Auri’s NWN2 Music Edits

https://www.nexusmods.com/neverwinter2/mods/1179

I love video game soundtracks... so much so that I think it is my favorite genre of music outside of film scores. And just like with films, music can make or break a video game publication. Neverwinter Nights 2's OST, especially that of Mask of the Betrayer, is one that I think most certainly makes the game. However, there were a few tracks that bothered me, and after finally figuring out the basics of audio-editing software, I set out to make adjustments to the tracks that irked me the most. This mod features three edited tracks that you can download separately and can easily install/uninstall any time you like. For each edited track, I've included which expansion is required to use them; if you have the GOG version of NWN2, you should already have all the expansions available, but if you're still using an installation from the original disks, please take note of which track is for which expansion before downloading. Here are each of the tracks that have been edited and how they've been altered. Also, spoilers galore, just so you know (do note that previews are available on the NexusMods page).

Storm of Zehir - Main Menu Theme

As good as the SoZ theme is, I tired very quickly of hearing the blaring horns every time I started up the game, and I found myself feeling nostalgic for the far darker theme from Mask of the Betrayer (which was actually the only expansion I had for a very long time). For me, the MotB theme was the theme for NWN2, and I wanted to switch back to it. Not only that, but I also wanted the theme to sound even darker. So I made a few adjustments to pitch and tempo and created an alternate variation that is lower, slower, and even more ominous than the original.

Mask of the Betrayer - Fugue Plane Combat

This track plays after the initial fight outside the gates of the City of Judgment and features in most of the CoJ's districts. Whether you side for or against the Crusade, this should be a track that tells the player "you shouldn't be here", and while the original track is good, I felt it could also be darker. So, similarly to the main theme, I made the track slower and lower in pitch, making the background "ambient" sounds also a little less harsh on the ears. Additionally, I feel the slower tempo fits the combat pacing of the whole area better.

Mask of the Betrayer - Dreamscape Music

Interestingly enough, this track only plays in one dreamscape that I remember, despite the sheer number of them the player encounters. In fact, I believe this track is far more memorable from its feature in the final area of the game, after the player travels to the location of their soul in the CoJ. Indeed, it's basically the backing track to Kelemvor's conversations with the player, and as such, I felt it should support his presence just a bit better. Thus, this one has been the most heavily edited, with the stranger segments cut out in favor of the mellower ones that have been slowed, lowered in pitch, and looped.

Just unzip the archive and drop the existing folders into your My Documents -> Neverwinter Nights 2 folder. If you already have soundtrack replacements for those specific tracks, you might want to back them up, just in case you want to revert for any reason. To uninstall, just delete the .bmu files.

Yet Another Distressing Wyll Mod

Another mod white-washing Wyll was uploaded on 11 January, 2024.

The mod is called "Wylls of Toril" and is created by Fesstrom, who has no other character mods in their history (and only one other mod, a nice mod which adds a popular Wyll hair-mod to his portraits). This is not necessarily indicative of malicious intent, but it does fit the pattern of prior modders who have little to no history other than a fresh account seemingly created for the sole purpose of offering a mod that alters Wyll's appearance, typically in order to make him appear less black.

The mod was originally posted with three screenshots of an alternate model for Wyll's face, along with three different skin-tones, two of which were a light and dark shade of brown, and one of which was white.

I am going to go into some detail below. I am willing to create more of a point-by-point breakdown and get into even further detail, but wanted first to share the basic description and screenshots. I am hesitant to go into a lengthy break-down from the get-go or without request, lest I be leading or present my own biases, upset, and bitterness as something more than my subjective experience. The more I can stick to the screenshots and links, the better.

Further details under the cut!

I (sanguinarialroot on Nexus) and others attempted to point out the racism inherent to this mod, with some overtly accusing the modder of deliberate racism, and other's detailing the issues without any comment on whether the mod was deliberately racist in intention outside of the operation and reception.

There is also a Reddit thread focused on this subject, and to which I contributed multiple comments (and a lengthy, distressing, thoroughly depressing dialogue with a lengthy, distressing, and thoroughly depressing person towards the tail end of a few comment threads... Trigger warning for a host of manipulation tactics or bad-faith dialoguing, as well as racism denial and baiting someone to share their race and then denying said race.)

I also have screenshots of my posts (the link clicks through to IMGUR) detailing the experience, many of which have since been removed due to reasons that the modder only scrambled to add as qualifying for removal AFTER I'd typed up my comments. This is presumably still being done for other users' as the mods post's count has hovered near 65 for around 24 hours now, despite it's prior post progression having rapid accumulation of comments in the hours closer to it's release.

Please read the comments on the screenshots, as I break down quite a bit of what occurred with a bit more detail and chronological progression than I would on a post in this form!

ONTO SOME POSITIVES (if they can be called as much...)

The modder later added another face model for Wyll, which appears to be their original model, with a wide nose and slightly thicker lips. This was done per another user's request. I'm going to be honest, I didn't notice this "fix" until long after my last posting before I was banned. It does not look quite so different from the modder's original alternate head, but I still regret that I did not acknowledge a potential attempt to improve. Of course, the damage was done and it does not absolve the modder, but it was an acknowledgement of a potential issue.

I would also like to thank the modder for remaning civil throughout the comment process! At no point did they speak lewdly or with hostility, and at no point did my banning seem like a drastic response. I can respect the modder's prerogative to remove me from the conversation towards the end. That doesn't mean I tolerate rampant censorship and lack of equitable culling towards their sycophants all across the board, but at least they weren't belligerent or overtly incendiary via their rhetoric.

CW/TW: Mention of racism + racism denial + race denial + whitewashing + and inclusions of links to message boards that include quite a hefty amount of racism + manipulative commenting + foul language + censorship + dismissiveness towards those attempting to criticize or call out what can easily be perceived as a racist project and racist messaging from the modder and/or commenters.
