This is a modification for NWN2-MotB that allows to take Bishop�s soul out of the Wall and recover it; to revive Bishop and add him to your party. You can modify the influence over the ranger, talk with him and the like in the same way as with existing companions. You can be any-aligned, male or female. A female character can romance him. All new subplots are fully integrated in the main story line.
Contents:
- some new quests;
- two new locations (not great);
- two new personal feats for PC;
- a chance to revive Bishop and add him to your party;
- dialogues with Bishop, his answer to the existing events, expansions to the existing dialogues, relations with other companions;
- the romantic cutscene;
- a new NPC;
- Bishop�s part in the final battle and the endings;
See Readme file for additional notes.
Big thanks to all the people who contributed to the beta testing process - especially Rusalka, Lyria, LawfulGood. Also, special thanks to MonkAlex for help with the installer.
Installation:
This mod is designed to work with NWN2-MotB with or without SoZ. The mod does not modify any original MotB files but campaign.cam and module.jrl. The installer saves theirs as campaign.cam.bak and module.jrl.bak. The "install.txt" and "install_engl.txt" files can be found in the DarkSoul package, they explain the installation/uninstallation in detail. (The "Manual Uninstallation" section informs about locations of all fragments of the mod.)
The mod will be incompatible with any other mod using the same files, modifying the MotB campaign, adding new feats or spells.
Unzip the DarkSoul.zip file into a directory of your choice. It should contain the following items:
MotB_DarkSoul31.exe (to install)
install.txt
install_engl.txt
readmeDS.txt
unDS30.bat (to uninstall)
unDS30.exe (to uninstall)
unDS30.log (to uninstall)
Run MotB_DarkSoul31.exe
Copyright Information:
This mod may not be sold or published.
Rogue Dao - Lip Flappers v1.0 were used for the facial animations during the conversations.
Russian dialog.tlk by [rus] was used as a base for the mod text content.
Version History:
V3.1 Russian, English (2010- Jun): Minor bug fixing; some corrections of the Russian dialog.tlk about soul numbers; correction of the influence balance. Also, Bishop's couple of phrases in the conversation with Shelvedar were added.
V3.0 Russian: First release on Neverwinter Vault.
(The mod can be translated into English or another language by modifying the only dialog.tlk that contains all text strings of the mod.)
Please feel free to ask me about any issues of the mod.
v 3.1 English (It includes an English installer and readme files. Additionally, you have to install the Lyria's translation from here: Link Thank you, Lyria!)
I gave this a shot during my 3rd run through the OC. I had some troubles installing but managed to work it out in the end. Strangely enough a few conversation choices stayed "empty" while others were there. I didn't get my influence with Bishop high enough, so he left me at the Betrayer's Gate, so I can't comment on his role in the finale. All in all very good work.

I'ma having same problem like tea_mitch. I have the latest patch too. I solved the mephits, used fragmeted soul. Then it says "New Spirit Eater feat Accquiered: bad strref" whitch leads me to think that there must be something missing and there is no new ability for me to use. I already reinstalled game + dark soul few times but I still get this. I even went to get nwn2 editor to look if I can add this feat there but it's not there either. Any ideas? I would really appreciate help. Thanks

I´m playing the English mod with the traslation installed...

tea_mitch, After finishing the quest with mephits you should take the soul in the next room (where the quest had been given) and use it on yourself. Then the ability must appear. zaies, do you play with English or Russian .tlk? Maybe you should install some fonts.

I love this mod!!! but I have some problems and I can´t enjoy it completely, in some dialogues: when you ask about your companions to the Fundator; you ask bishop about your former companions and some more, the dialogue doesn´t appear and you read something like:" , ?" So I select them without any idea of what I´m saying. I´ve checked all the files of Dark soul, included de dialogue.tlk and everything is correct. My game version coincides with the mod´s one. I don´t now if someone have had this problem...plz help!!!!!

one problem, though. recently I installed windows 7 ultimate on my laptop and I had to install nwn2 again. I installed motb exp and I have the latest update. (1.23) then I installed DS module and everything was going perfectly. After I took Bishop's soul out of the Wall I went to Academy. I finished the 'order out of chaos' with mephits without killing them or destroying obelisks, but I didn't receive the new feat. I thought 'hey, that happened before, I'll just do it again and everything will be fine.' But it wasn't. so I tryed it again. and again. still nothing. I tryed reinstalling module, and again and again. then I reinstalled the module again. then five more times and still nothing. I never had trouble while I was playing on windows xp, but maybe I did something wrong. Ever encoutered this problem? I'd really appreciate if someone can help me :/

This looks interesting. I'm looking forward to installing and playing it when I get around to it someday. Finally an addon that actually adds things.
