Dynaheir BG2EE allows players to decide which of the Rashemaar companions should be available during the Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal campaigns - Minsc or Dynaheir. The decision is made on a new area, to which you need to bring Minsc - there is a new door next to his cage. Free him and let him see what happened to his friend. The mod includes:

- Dynaheir as a playable companion
- Banters with all BioWare/Beamdog companions, interjections
- A friendship path between Dynaheir and the Child of Bhaal, and scenery talks, reactions (SoA & ToB)
- A sisterhood path between Dynaheir and the Child of Bhaal, if she is a non-chaotic evil woman with 10+ Charisma (SoA & ToB)
- A romance path between Dynaheir and the Child of Bhaal, if PC is not in a relationship with any other companion and has shown interest in Dynaheir (ToB-only: in SoA, you will be rejected, but that does not lock the ToB part)
- A total number of 2 major quests and up to 2 minor quests set across the whole game (SoA & ToB)
- An event that may result in changing Dynaheir from an invoker to a diviner
- New temple in Athkatla, as well as a couple of new unique divination spells sold in that temple, and new items
- A new portrait that should match BG2 portraits a bit better than her BG1 portrait.

Okay, now I'm REALLY interested in this mod. Having Dynaheir for a whole second game? Sign me up! 

[Lava]

That's the plan! And I am really trying to make this one story-rich. 
Thanks for showing interest in the project!

Can't wait to learn more about it. Also, her new in-game portrait is pretty awesome. It really shows her black heritage in all of its glory. :3

Oh my, not only Dynaheir as a companion in BG2 but also romance! Will ladies also be able to win her heart? Either way, thank you, she was one of my favourite companions in BG1  (Never forgiven Bioware really )

[Lava]

Hi! Remember, romance is only in ToB, it's more like an addition. The main path, one that is more detailed, is the sisterhood path, a greater friendship only for female characters, a relationship that helps her grow. It's especially visible in SoA. 

In ToB you can romance her (if you are not in a sisterhood relationship, nor in a romantic relationship with other characters). And there is no gender check for that, so yes, female CHARNAME that is not following the mentioned sisterhood path may also show romantic interest in her and pursue the romance in ToB.

[lunamoth]

I like a slow going romance, so waiting until ToB is fine. I guess I'll just have to be careful so my character does not get friendzoned in SoA 

[Lava]

You can still tell her that you have / had a crush on her in SoA, and get 2 unique talks, she will tell you that it is not what she wants for now, but it will not destroy the romance, and she will remember that in ToB

[lunamoth]

ohoho, my character(s) have had a crush since BG1

[Lava]

It's really nice that you are so excited about the mod  Thank you!

[lunamoth]

Well, I am an old time player, so that has been a looong time of wishful thinking  And thank you for making this mod!

Beta 1 is now available

Great to know!

Meant to ask earlier, but of course - forgot. Do you plan any cross-content between Dynaheir and Fyalvara? I know that it is a lot of work, but since we can romance Dynaheir as either gender, maybe there could be some yuri tension between those two? There is only one (IIRC) romantic relationship between companions in the BG2 (Aerie and Haer'dalis), so it could and some more dynamic in our party.

[Lava]

There will be talks between those two, but no. Firstly, the age gap is pretty big. Secondly, neither of them are seeking that kind of relationship. Fyalvara has her big family, and Dynaheir is trying to sort things out in her mind, so she could find peace. 

The crossmod shall be included in G3 Crossmod Banter Pack once it's coded.

Yay! Just one question, I am doing a fresh install of BG2EE and was planning to use the following mods: Ascension (the tougher battles), Iwdification (only the IWD spells, no class changes), Khalid & Dynaheir and SCS last (only AI improvements). Would that be ok, or should I skip any of these mods?
