Most of the swap changes happened just because Baldur's Gate is a
mostly human city. Simple as.
I had no specific anti-midget agenda going on per se, aside from them just feeling really out of place when nearly half the NPCs in BG's "mostly human" city are, well, not humans.
As @Demonic Fate mentioned, literally anyone with
some level of lore understanding will picture things differently. What stood out to me might seem completely normal to someone else and vice versa. There are still dwarves, gnomes, halflings and dragonborns in the city. And yes, there are still elves too — because even they were "humanised" to some extent. Some are merchants, some are common workers, some are middle-class, some are filler-NPCs and some are even nobles.
Those NPC swaps made sense — to Orin, to Lore and to me —
THREE people who worked on the mod. We can't realistically expect to please everyone with all 1500 NPC changes, and that’s perfectly fine by me. I genuinely had fun making this mod. Even when I was stuck in test-monkey mode, catch-all-the-bugs-and-problems left and right kind of duty.
If people are enjoying playing the game with the mod, that’s absolutely banging. If not, that’s alright too.
. Well you could, if you are tech savvy enough i guess. WHat's the bug? I know of quite a few that I'm ironing out right now. See the support page. One is Viconia crashing when she gets her shield out because Larian broke modded virtual Textures for shields. I've just fixed that for next update.
Depends on how hard I'll want to figure it out.
