1. Intro
The idea to add some sort of keyring to Faerun was originally Icelus', but
the idea never came to fruition... until now.
2. Install
Extract the entire contents of the .zip file into your BG2 directory, making
sure the folder structure is maintained. Then in your BG2 directory, find and
double-click on setup-cliffkey.exe. Follow the prompts and you're on your way
to keydom!
The mod is directly compatible with all BG2 games: BGII, BGT, BGII:EE, and EET!
2'. Subcomponents (or which version should I install?)
Following a suggestion from a mysterious and alluring stranger, this mod now
offers you a choice of installation:
Component 1: Nanoquest version
This installs a tiny, tiny, tiny little quest that you must complete in order
to gain the keyring. The keyring itself comes with a wordy irrelevant
description that may or may not be mildly amusing (hey, I wrote it, what else
do you expect?).
Component 2: Consistency Plus
version
This installs the suggested version where the keyring is found in a
storekeeper's possession, much like the in-game gem bags and scroll cases. ie
You buy the keyring rather than complete a quest to get it. The keyring's
description is brief and to the point. Stop cheering.
3. Where is this keyring?
Nanoquest: Go to the NE edge of the Slums (near the archway). A cowled figure
will come up and talk to you and give you a fairly basic request in exchange
for the keyring.
Consistency+: You can buy it from Jahaboam at the Docks,
Mira at Waukeen's Promenade or the peddler from Trademeet (once you fix up
Trademeet's druid and djinn problems). In ToB you can buy it from Karthis
al-Hezzar in the North Forest.
4. The keyring looks like a normal ring! (Nanoquest
only)
If you threatened Rieng, you get what you deserve. :)
5. What can I do with this keyring?
You can only put keys in it. You shouldn't need to take out the keys each
time you want to unlock a door.
6. Duh.. the bag of holding does the same thing.
I won't tell anybody if you don't.
7. Uninstalling
Find setup-cliffkey.exe, double-click, follow prompts.
8. Where did you find this hideous colour scheme?
Hey, I think it looks lovely. >:(
9. How *you* doin'?
(I just wanted to write that.)
10. For everything else..
