I saw a thread on Keto, earlier, and thought I'd contribute. I've been
playing with Keto in my group for a few RL days. I took the quick
route to Spellhold, rescued Immy, and am back in the city doing the
side quests before going after the Lanthorn.
Comments:
1) The two objects taking up backpack slots are annoying
. One for
"flavor" is nice. Two is just annoying. If at least one did
"something", that would be good. I know this was discussed earlier
in the other thread. Now Keto has a pack of letters, which promises to
do something at some point (include memories), but, doesn't do
anything _now_. Three slots???
2) In my version of the bardic competition, twin girls performed.
"All" I experienced was the two girls, making sparks off their hands.
There was no sound, or text. Is this a known issue, or, unique to my
game? (The other performances appeared to go as planned)
3) Keto and Immy occasionally exchange dialogue about how Immy envies
Keto her ability to always stay cheerful, and Keto tells Immy she
hasn't completely forgotten it, herself. Should this banter occur more
than once? It's occured five or six times, in my game.
4) Related to #3, that dialogue first occured without even a "Hi, I'm
Keto, I've heard so much about you, Imoen" dialogue. Shouldn't the
girls have had an in-game banter to "meet" before having such an
intimate conversation?
5) How come Keto doesn't offer to recite poetry/tell a story every now
and then? She told the kobold story at first meeting. And, there was
her story in the bardic competition. But, I had sort of expected
taking Keto, the Banter Queen of Bards along, meant that there would
be bardic performances every now and then (like maybe...5-10
banter-performances over the life of SoA).
6) My 12 year-old son (who's been spectating through much of this play
through) felt Keto's "low blow" against Anomen was a great idea. So
did I.
7) It was sort of hard to find the woman who triggers the bardic
competition (she's off in a side room of the inn). It might be
advisable to move her over where the merchants hang out (main room,
far right). Alternately, the boy who gives the message (Scrap?) might
say "Give your invitation to Miss <name>, she's waiting for you in the
kitchen of the Inn" (or stable, or whatever room it is).
8) Is Penny Madrigal a spoof of Conrad Birdie in "Bye Bye Birdie"? I
can't put my finger on it, but, something about that reminded me of
the movie. I liked "all" the competitors I got to meet in the inn,
but, Penny really cracked me up!
9) The older couple at the competition were hysterical. I loved the
comments about economy, gravy, etc. Also, how a wife might be inclined
to stab her husband in the back for forgetting her birthday.
All in all, I'm enjoying the mod!!! Great job. I look forward to Keto
getting her memories back and seeing how the rest of the character
plays out.
