My other post has my reasons, I would like to have a version of No Alphabet that removes most major changes, altering only minor NPCs.

Here is the comprehensive list of the changes I prefer kept-- if this is too much trouble, I would still appreciate removing changes of characters mentioned in the title
Quest Chars:
  • Lucretious
Minor Chars:
  • Rivington boy (T)
  • Zerillo(T) and Ch'kk'ch(T)
  • Chorizo the Sauceman (G)
  • Lunkbug(G) and Beldron (G)
  • Kali Hammerhand/Neno Quilltop (L)
  • Tamia Holtz (L/G)

Flavor Text /Compatibility / Lore
  • Lower city man (G)
  • A letter from Balduran (G)
  • Haskinn Xhesilaphinthe (T)
  • Fist member corpses BBA
  • Refugee Corpses
I also use BBA minimalist, Wylls of Toril, and an edited version of the Lore-Friendly heads (just removed heads I didn't want changed).

Thanks for your time and effort :salute:

I wont be picking out specific small NPCs, but I can do something about the major ones.

I second this. If only for runs in which I can kill Aylin, and not feel bad about it. :twisted:

I won't be doing this anytime soon, but it is on my list of things to do.

I was thinking that maybe the core mod should just be the minor NPCs, and the "major" (Aylin, Lucretious, Valeria etc) NPCs, optional individual add-ons.

Anyway, just a thought. :scratch:

This is a big enough necro to call me Thay, but I cobbled together something that achieved more or less what I asked for. I unpacked the .lsf files and removed edits to a few things-

Notably I removed Aylin changes, a couple of the NPC flavor text, plus few minor edits to the hag watch text, squatter text, and changed Hannah Binary to Hannah Binn (Binary felt a little heavy handed, I get it boolean/binary but eh). Decided to keep Sebastienne and Nocturne edited.

Dunno if it works yet. Game runs fine but conveniently have killed/finished/not reached NPCs it is relevant for. If orinesque's work could be analogized to the precise creation of a Swiss watch imagine my edit as smacking a rock into another rock to craft a wheel. Couple things though:

1. For the squatter conversation, is the "tampered with gifts" dialog still available? I want to have the ability to morally oust the squatters or expose the bomber.
2. Minor typo in english.xml Line 269 - NIghtsong instead of Nightsong

I can upload the files if anyone wants but it's really just NoAA lite

I'll take that Hannah Binn and implement it :P

I checked NIghtsong is Larian's typo. Better to report it to Larian.
