MOD EDWIN & NALIA FOR BALDUR’S GATE 2 THRONE OF BHAAL / BALDUR’S GATE 2 ENHANCED EDITION / ENHANCED EDITION TRILOGY (EET) - BY PROF ERRATA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a little mod for BG2ToB, BG2EE (or EET) which will allow you to remove items from NPCs that were previously unremovable.  So far, 2 NPC items have been modified: namely Edwin's amulet and the Nalia signet ring.


Installation:
- For BG2ToB:
* with the last Bioware official patch 26498, or the GOG version which integrates them already.
* The BG2Fixpack, with its last version (v13); install first the core fixes.
* ToBEx Beta 0028 : essential if you want to install the 2 options of the mod.
- For BG2EE or EET: the last patch 2.6.

Compatibility:
This mod is compatible with most of the existing WeiDU mods.

Description and purpose of this mod:
Since the release of BG2SoA a long time ago, we noticed that two of the characters we may to recruit in the game - Edwin and Nalia - possess personal items that we, sadly, cannot remove except through the use of Near Infinity, contrary to other NPCs (Keldorn has his armor and his sword, Anomen his shield, etc).
For Edwin, it was especially unfortunate.  Although his amulet provides him with an additional 2 spells for each spell level and makes of him a formidable wizard, he sadly cannot take advantage of any other official game items, for example, those that allow him to be protected against level drain like the Amulet of Power.  It's now possible, thanks to this mod, to remove his Thayan amulet and replace it with whatever other amulet you wish. (the Amulet of Power beging most useful in BG2 due to the number of creatures that have the ability to drain levels even at a distance: vampires, wights, demons, Shadow Dragon breath) There are mods which provide useful artifacts that will permit him to recover all or most of the capabilities of his amulet. For example the Item Upgrade mod provides the Sorcerian Ring which would be most appropriate for him.
For Nalia, her signet ring, although quite useful, could possibly be replaced by more interesting ones, allowing her for example to improve her low thieving skills (the Mercykiller Ring, for example), or to increase her resistance to elements (here again Item Upgrade provides the Ring of Elemental Mastery, quite adapted to our favorite duchess).

Versions:
