    The music rocks my socks. I'm dying for Overhaul Games to fix up BG2 as it's my favorite game of all time, but doesn't work very well on my win7 x64.

    I mentioned it (1:0:1).

    You sir, are a genius! +1 for the epic presentation!

    Not toooo fond of the name Nogo if I'm to be honest... Everything else though? Super fond! I've got some steep competition here and I'm glad to see that. I, too, especially love the notion of recovering Mehrunes' Razor just to chuck it in the forge. I bet that's among the most epic roleplay experiences one can have in this game. I employed similar little touches for my own contest build, only cast in the opposite light (in HONOR of Mehrunes), such as leaving the dagger on the corpse of a sacrificed victim at the start of a dungeon before allowing Dagon's influence to possess me for the rest of the dungeon. Truly fun stuff and it thrills me to see a character that is essentially a foil to my own achieve the same sort of gameplay/roleplay fusion moments. Anyway, good stuff and good luck!

    Thank you. I agree that Nogo isn't exactly the most sonorous of names, but as we have very few Yoku words translated in the lore, I didn't have much to choose from. I felt it was important to give her a Yoku nickname to mark the beginning of a disassociation from her bloodline's heinous past, even if the word Nogo stands for danger. It is also, IMO, a child-like name that helps the character remain endearing to us throughout the whole playthrough and is a constant reminder of her past. Scarlet the Bow-saint wouldn't have nearly the same effect.

    While my character also undergoes a transformation, it is permanent (well, it needn't be, but it would be annoying going back to a regular bow for whatever reason), not dynamic like yours. Your idea could spawn a great many number of interesting new builds and I hope you win the contest just because of that.

    The story and build didn't take very long at all, but putting it all together did, as I am hopeless with artsy stuff and had to learn the GIMP from scratch. At least now I have a template for future builds ^^.
