About this mod

Alfira can now join your party if you help her finish her song.

Changelogs
Allows Alfira the Tiefling bard to join your party if you help her finish the song she is working on at the Druids' Grove.  This mod is presently for Tav/Origin playthroughs only and does nothing to affect Alfira's vanilla content in a Dark Urge playthrough.

You can trigger Alfira's recruitment scene by long resting after helping her to finish the song while in Act 1.

THIS IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS AND THERE WILL BE FURTHER UPDATES AS I PROGRESS HER THROUGH THE STORY. AT TIME OF WRITING SHE HAS BEEN TESTED UP TO THE END OF ACT 1.

What it Does

  • A fully voiced recruitment scene derived from the equivalent Dark Urge encounter is included, as well as basic join/dismiss dialogue.
  • Alfira is a fully functional party member; she can level up, multiclass, and re-spec.
  • She comes equipped with her iconic outfit, but you can re-dress and re-gear her as you wish.
  • You can set a position for Alfira in each camp you visit and she will return to it and play idle animations.


What it Doesn't Do

  • Alfira doesn't have any dialogue recorded for party banter, point & click interactions, etc and this mod doesn't add any.
  • You must manually swap her in and out of your party once recruited; at present there is no "take X's place" interaction.


How to Install

Use LaughingLeader's Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager, Vortex (untested), or get it via the in-game mod manager. 
 
FAQ

Q: Alfira's recruitment scene isn't triggering. What's wrong?
A: Try taking a few long rests. You might have other scenes queued up. Also, make sure that all the criteria are met:
  • She must have been helped to finish her song.
  • You must not have finished Act 1.
  • The Grove must not have been raided.
  • You must not be the Dark Urge.

Q: Can you make a Dark Urge version?
A: At present I am concentrating on getting the mod working for Tav/Origin playthroughs. I may consider (resisting) Dark Urge in the future.

Q: What is the difference between this mod and the one on Mod.io ?
A: No difference. You can get the mod from wherever you prefer.

Q: Is this compatible with [insert favorite mod here] ?
A: It should be compatible with most things, but will be incompatible with anything else which alters either Alfira's stats or appearance.

Q: Can you make a mod for [insert other favorite character here] ?
A: This mod is way too ambitious by itself for me to consider doing the same for anyone else. You might enjoy my Custom Companions mod for "recruiting" other characters.
