Jowan fans?

I can't be the only one!
Right?
Right?

Anyways... there is a mod that allows you to recruit him in Redcliffe (like the original plan had been).
He's got a personal quest, unique gifts, can teach you blood magic, and he's romanceabe by female characters.

I'm not the modder, but I am rewriting/massively expanding on all his dialogue for her. There aren't many conversations at all now, and what is there often has only one player response. I've rewritten all that's there (she hasn't uploaded it, though), and I'm currently working on the personality-change options for after his personal quest, like you can do with Leliana and Alistair (IE: guilt is hot.  keep on with that.  VS Dude, time to man up and be a badass blood mage)

So, I was wondering if my fellow Jowan fans (who I refuse to believe don't exist!) have any thoughts as to what they would want to have, discussion wise, in such a mod.  I've got quite a few ideas I'm working on now, but I am a total whore for an audience, so I'll gladly write to please others.  (hey, at least I'm honest).

Also, if this mod speaks to you and you are the sort who can do cutscenes and whatnot, I know she needs help with that as well.

Look how much fun Maggie is having blowing shit up with
her childhood best friend. That could be your mage!

(and you can recruit Cullen and Gorim but whatevs... They're not Jowan!)

Yeah, I am not in the Lily fan club. And I always get the impression she doesn't particularly like mages or magic, either. Which is kind of wtf.

I'm of the same mind as you on the blood magic thing, I think I'm going to have a similar sort of option built into the personality-change conversation.
Do you think the convo about how he learned blood magic should be available to anyone, or just the mage PC? I set it like that now, with an additional chain where he'll talk about it after the broken circle quest is over if you ask his opinion on that (well, might, depending on how the quest ended).

I wish I could find any reasonable way to work in an anders reference. I think I have about ten of them in the first half dozen chapters of my Zevran/Amell paired story. I am all about the references to Anders. Hm... maybe tie it into the fourth suggestion above. he an tell a story about the guy who kept escaping... Hm, there's a thought.

Too right, Lily is very much in the mindset of, "Hi, I hate everything you are. Wanna hold hands?"

I would think he would only talk to a mage PC outright about the issue. Giving other origins access to it would only be likely after the Broken Circle like you said, but to a lesser extent than the mages. It's sort of a "we're in the same boat, so I'll open up to you" issue.

Maybe some sort of trigger should be set if the PC is a blood mage too. A discussion on comparing their reasons for learning the skill set.

Maybe if either he or the PC says something about wanting to leave the tower, you could work in how someone had tried to escape repeatedly, but they both know how well that worked out. Then segue into a story.
