legends [K1] Marlena Venn "Legends" 1.1.0

 

This mod made readjustments to Marlena Venn, both her appearance and positioning on the Dune Sea - to further improve the gameplay aspects from encountering her, and bring a fresh-new experience with her new looks and some other stuffs!

 

# Background #

When I met Marlena the first time I know that she's special - in a mysterious way, lol. Yeah, I catch her mysterious side so I did a makeover of her - appearance wise. About the positioning - it bugged me where she was placed so I moved her. Particularly when the conversation was initiated, so with her new placement it looks like she did make the conversation first. And that's how I see the encounter should start.

 

# About this Mod #

This modification makes unique appearance for Marlena Venn of Dune Sea [Tatooine], also reposition her to a new spot and replace her recorded voice with the filtered version so it sounded like an actual playback straight from a droid.

Ah-ha! It also makes Marlena equip a Blaster Pistol, some Credits, and a Repair Kit.

Here's a breakdown of why's:

• Blaster Pistol: because she was "through planning", she wants to make sure of everything
• Credits: well, she planned on going shuttle somewhere - it just makes sense for her to carry some
• Repair Kit: some leftover from earlier tinkering with the droids

Those new content was made to connect with jc2's "Kill Marlena". I have tested them together on my playthrough and they work like a charm! A truly-fun content worth installing for you - Dark Siders! Just make sure to install this mod last of them. Without it there'll be no change of plot whatsoever and those additional stuff wouldn't have effects.

 

# Final Remarks #

There's always room for an improvements - critiques, comments, suggestions, questions and feedbacks for the next update are much appreciated - PM, write them on my feed or leave any on the mod's page as you please. And thank you! for downloading, and playing this mod.

 

Hope you enjoy the mod as much as I do!

 

Installation: run the installer [TSLPatcher.exe] and then hit the [Install Mod ->] button.

Uninstallation: replace the installed files with what was stored inside the generated 'Backup' folder. Particularly tat_m18aa.mod; put that file back to 'modules' folder manually and overwrite when prompted.

To uninstall the Voice Over simply put back its backup to streamwaves \ m18ab \ 10wi06 folder - overwrite when prompted.

Compatibility: will be compatible with mostly anything, including jc2's "Kill Marlena" - just make sure to install this mod after every mods has. Though haven't being tested with Kainzorus Prime's "[KotOR] NPC Overhaul Mod" and N-DReW25's "K1 Gameplay Improvement" installed, presumably they'll be compatible. But be advised that compatibility issue of this mod working along with them is not yet confirmed.

Will not be compatible with any mods that force-overrides tat_m18aa.mod or messing with this mod 2DA entries.

For this mod to be effective you should at least load a saved game before entering the Dune Sea - Tatooine [tat_m18aa] module

This mod is play-tested with KotOR 1 Restoration/K1R installed and is compatible with them
