Boo mod

Stu · Fri, 7th Jan '05, 9:42am

I was just wondering if there was a mod that let you use boo like a familiar or a summonable creature through the quick item slot button.
It seemed like a logical mod idea to me but I havn't come accross anything that does this yet.

If no one has used the above idea then I might try to make it into a mod.

Any ideas, sugestions or info?

I think the only mod there is, is to have Boo as an actual member of the party, not as a summonable farmiliar...

Would be a nice idea though, "Go for the eyes Boo, GO FOR THE EYES!!!"

Yeah I've heard of that one. I was thinking of using that avator after the "summon".

My only problem is with what happens if Boo is killed in battle! The player could assume that boo managed to jump back into Minsc's arms just in the nick of time and the dead hamster avator on the ground is just some fur?
Or maybe if Boo dies it makes Minsc go crazy and kill you, forcing a reload - but that would be a bit difficult

The other matter would be spells.
My lil sister sugested a 'hamster dance' (remember that insanely annoying song) to be used as a sort of defensive spin.
Than there's the obvios "go for the eyes"
Any other ideas?

I was thinking of using it in a way similar to how the black spider figurine works. I usually feel that Boo is a bit of a waste of space but to integral to the game (and cool) to remove.
