Which mod should I install? Which of the two has the coolest personality? Which of the two has the most quests and interaction?

I can't speak for Tashia, but Kelsey has a group of people who show up and attack him on a regular basis. though I'll admit I'm biased, I installed him for the romance plot. But he does have some rather amusing dialogue with the characters I have. Rumour has it his interaction with Jan is priceless.

Kelsey is very funny, specialy if you have imoen and jan in your party.jan even makes an item for him, that will make him glow

i haven't installed kelsey, but i have the tashia mod, and she's my resident spellcaster

*much* less annoying than aerie, imoen and nalia - interesting background, talks often but none of those inane page after page banters

What about her spellpicks when you pick her up? Are they any good?

very useful spells when i got her - but i think she is set at a low level when you first meet her and then levels up straight away when she joins so you get to choose a fair amount of spells you want

i dont know if this has happened to anyone else out there, but when i reached the stairs to go to hell, and you ask everyone in the party if they want to go on or not, the dialogue with tashia never ends(whatever choice you pick, she has the same response). so i booted her out, did the convo again without her in my party, then put her back in. when i fought irenicus, there was an error in tashia's dialogue and irenicus wouldnt attack. i killed him where he stood, but the game wouldn't end! has this happened to anyone else?

did you use shadowkeeper?

are you using any other mods?

yeah i was using ease of use, item upgrade, solaufein...but in that game i didnt use shadow keeper on tashia either.

What version of Tashia do you have? I've heard about that bug, but didn't experience it myself. They may have a workaround on the board at fwstudios. Actually, I don't think she said anything at the stairs, so it's possible they just removed her dialogue.

Tashia's actually fairly quiet, I thought...though if you use her, eventually you will get an extreme amount of powerful magical items. Apparently the next patch will up her dialogues and generally make her more talkative.

That Tashia bug is due to some old coding, the problem shows up in other mods from time to time if people aren't careful. It won't bite you if you don't install other mods, or if you never uninstall/reinstall any mods, but it's due to a difficult-to-trace problem with WeiDU and the COPY_TRANS function. There may be a fix on the tashia.fwstudios.net site for the problem, though.
