Lisa made excellent clothing for NWN. It would be great if a team of modder�s would team up and remake and/or convert Lisa�s Clothing for NWN 2. That way NWN 2 could never go out of style. It if helps, a link to a hak that features the highlights of her work.

A simple conversion is impossible , i think, beacuse PC model in nwn2 are too different from those in the old nwn, and chlotes parts are threated defferently in the 2 games.
Althought your idea is a good one: Lisa's creations could be a greath inspiration for some modders who is planning to create new chlotes for nwn2!
I'm still amazed looking at what she was able to create in the poor graphic engine of nwn 1
You know, my first response to this was that, with all due respect to Lisa who *did* design some brilliant outfits, the NWN2 clothes filled much of the gap that Lisa's clothes filled. Like, the original NWN clothes were a bunch of colored jumpsuits. Her haks allowed our characters to dress in style. Looking at the screen shots you posted, though, I am once again reminded of how cool many of these outfits were. One of the downsides of NWN2, clothing wise, is that while what we have is pretty nice, there isn't nearly as much variety. You don't have the excitement of finding a new piece of armor which looks like nothing you've ever seen before.
And there's also the fact that there are some areas of costuming which just don't exist currently.
For example:
� Threadbare clothing and armor. When your PC is washed up on the shore of a desert island, where's that tattered cloak? That ripped up suit of leather armor? Lisa had it; NWN2 doesn't.
� Tuxedos, fancy dresses, and other formal wear. Who wants to go to a party if you're going to be dressed just like everyone else? Obsidian probably didn't design this sort of thing because 'what game function does it serve'? But for story-oriented campaigns and social servers, having fine clothes is essential.
� "Barbarian" clothes. By this, I mean clothes that shore more skin. For men and women. There has been a lot of lingerie made already. In fact, that's *most* of the NWN2 clothing content. Lingerie is fine, but, like, those armors inspired by the Larry Elmore paintings, with the bare legs and the fur on the shoulders and stuff. NWN2 is sorely missing this aspect of fantasy costuming.
So, what is Lisa up to now?
