I always thought Bao-Dur's arm was a unique design of his own invention. But Brejik having a cybernetic arm does make sense. He might've killed a Hidden Bek who severed his arm, further bolstering his tough, ruthless, and 'a little bit insane' reputation. Another NPC that could wear Bao-Dur's arm is Kandon Ark, Brejik's lieutenant.

Now I know I just leaked the "Heart of Beskar" mod, though that mod is still in active development... the mod I'm about to leak now is almost ready! Here's a bit of backstory on how this mod came to be! So one night I was brain storming ways I can create unique NPCs for future mods for this series, I then dug through TSLs game files to see what assets I could use... then I saw Bao-Dur's files and a lightbulb activated in my head! "YES!" I said out loud... I'm going to port Bao-Dur's Repulsor Arm to K1, but then it hit me, I only have Bao-Dur's clothing, the combat suit, heavy combat suit, military suit and light battle armor models with the Repulsor Arm and since Bao-Dur is a male that means no females with Repulsor Arms. Even if DarthParametrics DarthParametrics Bao-Dur arm modder's resource I'm still very, VERY limited to what NPCs I can give Repulsor Arms to. I have to be consistent with the lore of Kotor and I have to avoid mod conflicts, so I can't pick an NPC like Gerlon Two-Fingers as NPCs refer to him having a paralyzed hand... not a cybernetic hand. I can't give Davik a Repulsor Arm, in the vanilla game I could as he only wears his pink battle suit... though in my own NPC Diversity Pack he wears civillian clothing in his first appearance and in Onderon Fashion he instead wears Onderon robes, I don't have the knowledge to add the Repulsor Arm to those NPC models and this problem would only get worse for other peoples mods who add unique appearances to the game. In the end, I was left with 4 canidates: Deadeye Duncan, J'ane Khan, Gadon and Brejik. Deadeye Duncan: At first, this seemed like a good idea... then I realized all the Taris citizens who mock Duncan for his inflated ego and his clumsy combat skills will now instead be mocking an elderly disabled person who clearly isn't fit to participate in the arena... and Ajuur has set this disabled person for 54 duels, that he lost 54 times, and the other duelist happily kicked his ass every single time. And then I remembered you met Duncan on Manaan in cut content and since he wears commoner clothing, this makes his Repulsor Arm impossible (for me at least). J'ane Khan: He's the GenoHaradan Assassin in the Durasteel Battle Armor who fights alongside Hulas on Tatooine. He's simply a background character who you fight, the problem with J'ane is that if I, or any other modder, decide to change his appearance that would quickly make this mod incompatible with those other mods. Gadon: Gadon already had his eyes blown out in an off-screen swoop crash, it'd be cruel for this mod to also slice his arm off! Brejik: In the end, it turns out Brejik was the PERFECT NPC to give a Repulsor Arm to... and so "Brejik's New Repulsor Arm" was born! When can I download this mod? You can download the mod from the following link once an admin approves it!- https://deadlystream.com/files/file/2322-brejiks-new-repulsor-arm/ Stay tuned!

So it seems like we'll be blowing past a mid-year release date, since not much has happened in terms of work in the last few months. I would like to get a release out around Xmas if possible, but that will largely depend on how the back-half of the year goes, progress-wise. I'd really like to finally resolve some of the many outstanding Manaan issues that have been on the docket for years now. I have avoided most of them because Manaan is my least favourite planet, but there are some biggies in there like all the facing problems in the Sunry trial. In the meantime, here's the current state of 1.10.0 progress:

You would have to ask Nexus about Nexus' rules. It won't go up here though with NWN music. Edit: However, I imagine you would like to hear about the reasoning about why the porting rules are what they are. I'll point you towards a blog post made one of this site's Staff members shortly after the current porting rules were instated. If you have follow up questions, you should probably direct them to members of this site's Administration Staff in a Private Message. A link to the Staff page can be found here.

The same reason using that same music in a YouTube video will get your video demonetized at best or taken down at worse... that reason is copyright. Think of it like this, if this Jeremy Soule music mod is made and is uploaded to Deadlystream... what's to stop a lawyer from pointing at the mod and claiming we're hosting pirated content because the mod contains MP3 files of music that Bioware & Obsidian hold the rights to. And since this website is a Star Wars website, who would want to risk Deadlystream being forcibly taken offline over music that isn't even Star Wars... I wouldn't want to die on that hill.
