  NWN2 Reassembled — Dialogue Restoration for the Original Campaign
  Version 0.1  ·  28 October 2026  ·  https://nwn2reassembled.fyi
===============================================================================

WHAT THIS IS
------------
Many companion dialogue lines in the NWN2 Original Campaign are locked behind
Influence thresholds left over from an older 0-100 influence scale. On the scale
the shipped game actually uses, those numbers can never be reached, so the lines
never trigger. This pack corrects the thresholds so the content plays as written.

Each change was verified on an automated test rig that reproduces the exact
in-game influence condition and confirms the line becomes reachable — comparing
the fixed value against the original to prove the threshold is the sole cause.


WHAT'S FIXED (6 restorations, 7 dialog files)
---------------------------------------------
  * Bishop — champion-offer line at the Rite of Tyr        (gate 30  -> 15)
        file: 20_cs_rite_of_tyr.dlg
  * Zhjaeve — githzerai-origin conversation                 (guard <40 -> <15)
        file: gl_zhjaeve.DLG
  * Ammon Jerro — family-loss / remorse line                (gate >20 -> >15)
        file: gl_ammon.DLG
  * Traitors' End — companion loyalty defence lines         (gate >50 -> >25;
        Bishop >30 -> >15) for Khelgar, Elanee, Grobnar, Casavir, Ammon, Bishop
        file: 3430_cs_enter.dlg
  * Grobnar — top Cain conversation tier                    (gate >25 -> >15)
        file: 20_cain.dlg
  * Hlam / Khelgar's trials — "you've learned what you need" line was checked
        for EXACTLY 10 influence instead of 10-or-more        (=10 -> >9)
        files: 10_hlam.dlg, 3063_hlam.dlg

Only the influence threshold in each affected line is changed. Every other byte
of every dialog is untouched.


INSTALL
-------
1. BACK UP FIRST. Copy your NWN2 "override" folder somewhere safe (if it doesn't
   exist yet, you'll be creating it).

2. Copy the SEVEN files from this pack's "override" folder into your NWN2
   override folder:

     Windows (GOG/Steam):
       Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\override\
     Linux / Steam Deck (Proton):
       .../steamapps/compatdata/<id>/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/
           Neverwinter Nights 2/override/
     (or the "override" folder inside your NWN2 install directory)

3. Start NWN2 and load a save from BEFORE the scene in question. The fixes apply
   as each conversation is evaluated, so earlier saves see the restored lines.


PLATFORM NOTE  (please read if you're on Linux / Steam Deck)
------------------------------------------------------------
Override shadowing is the standard NWN2 mechanism and is confirmed working on
Windows. On some Linux/Proton setups the game has been observed NOT to consult
the override folder for certain resources. If the fixes don't appear to take:
  - make sure you used the override folder that the running game actually reads
    (the one inside the Proton prefix above, not only the install dir), and
  - as a fallback, the two campaign files gl_zhjaeve.DLG and gl_ammon.DLG can be
    dropped directly into the campaign folder
    (".../Neverwinter Nights 2/Campaigns/Neverwinter Nights 2 Campaign/"),
    replacing the originals (back them up first).
Please report what works on your setup — it helps the next release.


STATUS
------
v0.1 — beta. The threshold fixes are mechanism-verified but have not yet had a
full story playthrough as shipped files; feedback and bug reports are welcome.
Not included yet: the Axle Devrie "spawns pre-injured" fix (that one is a
creature/module change, shipping separately).


UNINSTALL
---------
Delete the seven files from your override folder (and restore any campaign-folder
originals you replaced). Nothing else is modified; your saves are untouched.


Verify the files with SHA256SUMS.txt.  See CHANGELOG.txt for the change log.
