Kelsey ist ein männlicher menschlicher Hexenmeister (ng),
http://www.forgottenwars.net/kelsey
Der Download umfasst 16,2 MB, da sehr viel Dialog tatsächlich auch gesprochen wird. Das Mod selbst ist dann ca. 55 MB groß.
Character sketch: Kelsey is a good-hearted, but troubled, young man. Unlike many sorcerers, who set aside any unease they may have about the origins of their powers in favor of focusing on the benefits of the sheer magnitude of magical energy they can access, Kelsey has serious doubts about himself and the control he has over his spellcasting. Even in a realm of magic, sorcery is looked upon suspiciously, and despite a fairly humble upbringing by his mother and uncle in a well-to-do merchant family, he can't help but wonder why he is the way he is.
Kelsey and the PC have a lot in common. Like her, he has more than once gone to sleep and woken up the next morning, suddenly capable of casting a new spell. The fact that his sorcery allows him to cast these spells seemingly at will, as often as he can possibly think of wanting to do so, bothers him. He feels almost unworthy of his gifts, as though someone more creative or noble should have them instead of him. He also worries that sorcery somehow dehumanizes him--since he doesn't have to work at spellcasting like a true mage, he fears that he is literally eating away his soul every time he casts a magic missile.
Romance highlights: As stated, Kelsey and the PC share similar backgrounds: sorcerers are rumored to come from demon blood, after all, so his origins are dubious as well, if not quite as steeped in death as hers.
He understands the fear and isolation of being different, and the giddy temptation of exercising new powers without much thought as to their consequences. He can share with her and, together, they will take comfort that it's OK to wake up suddenly feeling more powerful, that it doesn't have to be a traumatic experience.
Kelsey is drawn to someone he can relate to, and the fact that she is greater, more popular and important than he is comes as a sort of relief--he wants her to direct his sorcery, to help him put his talents to productive use so he doesn't have to feel so much like his power is a burden.
As the relationship wears on, however, he starts to feel marginalized, as though her problems, big as they may be, are the only ones worth discussing. After all, the PC at least understands her origins and has an inkling of the possible outcomes--he may never know how his sorcery came to be, or what it will do to him in this life and beyond. He's jealous of her ability to cut through opposition to get at the answers, a jealousy that will strain their relationship. He also envies the closeness the PC shares with Imoen--he has a younger brother, but has never truly bonded with him enough that he could swear he would overturn heaven and earth to find him the way the PC rushes to help Imoen. Seeing their love, he feels a failing in his own heart.

Kompatibilität (siehe auch die ReadMe-Datei):
We believe Kelsey is fully compatible with both BG2 - Shadows of Amn proper, and BG2 with Throne of Bhaal installed, but he was developed in a TOB environment and it is possible that one of the custom items you may encounter with Kelsey in the party will only work properly if you, too, have TOB installed.
PLEASE NOTE: Kelsey V1.0.0 contains Kelsey _content_ for SOA only...so if you choose to play through to TOB, he will not continue the romance, banter with NPCs, etc. And he is currently not available through the Fate Spirit. Watch http://www.forgottenwars.net for news about the upcoming release of a TOB content pack for Kelsey.
Audio note: Players who do not have TOB installed will find that Kelsey’s love theme may overlap with any other music that happens to be playing in the game. This is an unfortunate situation that is surprisingly difficult to fix without creating an entirely new version of Kelsey. If TOB is installed before Kelsey is installed, the in-game music will be muted when Kelsey begins a romance dialogue and his theme begins to play.
Kelsey includes Detectable Spells V1.2 from IEEIAS to aid in combat scripting. If you have extensively modified the existing in-game spell files, this could conceivably cause problems, but for most users will not be an issue.
Kelsey attempts to alter SongList.2DA to create a song #84 of silence. If you have added songs to your game, this will have a curious effect--namely, that whatever else you put in as song #84 will play on top of Kelsey’s love theme. But we believe this will happen very rarely.
Kelsey is known to be compatible with the Solaufein mod. HOWEVER, if you installed a Solaufein BEFORE VERSION 40, the .DLG files for the Bioware NPCs have been damaged by a flaw in the way earlier versions of WeiDU handled state triggers. (The situation has since been corrected) Bottom line: unless you restore your BG2 install to the "pre-Solaufein" condition, various Bioware dialogues, particularly Anomen's, Aerie's, Jaheira's, and Viconia's) will behave erratically, with or WITHOUT Kelsey. You may safely install Kelsey with Solaufein V40 or higher.
Kelsey IS compatible with the Tashia mod, according to its author. However, earlier versions of Tashia may have created the same problem as
earlier versions of Solaufein--we recommend you use Tashia 1.09c or later.
Kelsey is known to be compatible with most Baldurdash bugfixes. Install any Baldurdash fixes that affect dialogue before Kelsey. (If you don’t know the difference, better to be safe than sorry.)
Kelsey SHOULD be compatible with Ascension in its current state, and should be compatible with Ascension once the Kelsey TOB content patch is released as well. There may be special installation instructions for Ascension compatibility once we release the TOB content patch. There are plans in the works to port Ascension to a more-compatible WeiDU format, which may help our compatibility goals.
Kelsey SHOULD be compatible with many feature-specific MODs installed through WeiDU, such as the Expanded Thief Stronghold.
Kelsey MAY be compatible with mods installed through the TBG/IAP format--however, because TBG overwrites dialogue files and therefore may remove content added by Kelsey, you should install any TBG/IAP mods that affect dialogue BEFORE Kelsey. Again, better safe than sorry.
Kelsey MAY be compatible with The Darkest Day. Install The Darkest Day FIRST if you wish to try.
Kelsey is LIKELY INCOMPATIBLE with the Nalia Romance MOD. Install Nalia Romance FIRST if you wish to test them together.
Da ja viele beim Installieren von MODs ein paar Probleme haben, habe ich mal die Installationsanweisungen für die Version 1.0 übersetzt ...
Installation von Kelsey
Vor der Installation sollte man den letzten offiziellen Patch von Bioware installiert haben. Kelsey ist für ToB entwickelt und nur damit getestet.
1.) Die Datei KelseyNPCV100.zip enthält KelseyNPCV100.exe sowie zwei Textdateien (ReadMe und FAQ). Die EXE-Datei muß ausgepackt und gestartet werden.
2.) Das Installationsprogramm ermittelt anhand der Registrierung das BG2-Verzeichnis. Falls man BG2 woanders installiert hat, dann kann man die Vorgabe aber ändern (falls man zum Beispiel mehr als eine BG2 Installation hat).
3.) Hat man die Angaben bestätigt, dann erzeugt der Installer im BG2-Verzeichnis ein Kelsey-Unterverzeichnis mit einem Haufen von Dateien. Ins BG2-Verzeichnis wird eine Datei Setup-Kelsey.exe kopiert, die dann automatisch gestartet wird.
4.) Ein Konsolenfenster erscheint und fragt, ob man Kelsey installieren will. Hier sollte man dann Y(es) eingeben.
5.) Die Dateien werden kopiert, die Dialoge werden kompiliert ... insgesamt kann das ca. 2 Minuten dauern.
6.) Wenn das fertig ist, Enter drücken. Danach werden die MP3 Audiodateien dekomprimiert und ins Standard-BG2-Wav-Format konvertiert. Dabei wird das Konsolenfenster mit Text gefüllt (keine Ahnung, wie das aussieht, auf jeden Fall MUSS das so sein). Auch dieses kann einige Zeit dauern.
7.) Dann sollte alles installiert sein. Viel Spass!
Wenn man Kelsey deinstallieren möchte, kann man einfach die Setup-Kelsey.exe im BG2 Verzeichnis erneut starten und die Option U(ninstall) wählen. Nicht deinstalliert werden allerdings die WAV-Dateien, die man also von Hand löschen müßte.
Weitere Infos zu Kelsey kann man eventuell auch im Kelsey Topic im BIS-Forum (Black Isle Studios)nachlesen.
