Did anyone know that there was a mod made recently for this game that let you have party members that actually talk to you? That react to other NPCs? That can even have a romance with your custom made character?

It's there.
And so this isn't just an advertising post.. how many have played and like this game?
I love the 3e system in it, and the mod I mentioned made the game come alive for me. It's a great deal of fun. Almost as much as Baldur's Gate I & II. I'm a big fan of Black Isle.
