Willie Bruce Mod

Welcome to the Willie Bruce Mod for BGII--SOA and TOB.

Thank you to my friend, Sean Thornton, for collaboration, writing authentic cockney dialogue, and voicing. Big thanks, as always, to the wonderful XVIII for this mod's portrait. And thank you to Dellaster for providing .BAMs for original item. Thanks to Sillara, of course, for always helping out!!



***WARNING***
This mod is stereotypical cockney, so Willie Bruce is foul-mouthed, sexist, and racist. Willie's opinions do not in any way reflect the opinions of the coder, voicer, or writers.



Installation:
To install the Willie Bruce Mod, first download the zip file (.rar). Open the zip file and extract all the files inside, which will be four (the .tp2, the .exe, the Uninstall.bat, and the folder containing everything else). Drop all these into your BGII - SoA folder. Then click the .exe and install Willie Bruce. That's it. Sorry, no language translations available.



General:
Since his last name is Bruce, I have followed the guidelines for the contest.  I could not, no matter how I tried to convince myself, give him a first name of Bruce.  Willie Bruce is a basic, 1st-level fighter who likes to hang around in bars, watch football on the telly, and get into fights.  He is a foul-mouthed cockney with no education.  He can be picked up in the Copper Coronet, near the stairs leading to the back rooms with the prostitutes.  He will walk up and initiate conversation with the PC.  When he joins your group, he has nothing but his tankard of spirits.  He is proficient in the club, and that's it.  This mod might offend you.  But, in the spirit of the mod, if you don't like it, you can "shut it, you slag!"

After finishing Willie's first "quest," go talk to the bartender in the Crooked Crane Inn (gate district).



Some notes on playing with Willie Bruce:
1. Willie will never be without his sauce.
2. He is racist, sexist, and foul-mouthed.
3. Willie starts the game with no equipment (save the booze).
4. To start Willie's pub qust, go talk to the innkeeper of the Crooked Crane Inn in the Athkatla City Gates. Willie must have retrieved his family jewels first.



Compatability notes:
This mod is not compatible with total or engine conversions.

v1: The initial release of the Willie Bruce mod.
v1.1: Expanded mod.
v2: Corrected typos.

A message from Willie's co-writer:

Where Willie gets it from and what he is like--

Much of the dialogue in the Willie Bruce mode is either heavily influenced by or largely ripped from various sources - movies, TV shows, comedy, real life.
I doubt this list is exhaustive, but it covers pretty much all the dialouge I can put my finger on. Some of the list is specifically Willie's stuff; other things have more to do with the "chavs" and "gofs"; and others are merely general influence.

TV Shows:
The Young Ones
Eastenders - especially Frank Butcher
Only Fools and Horses
Little Britain
The Fast Show
Southpark (for the goths)
Harry Enfield

Movies:
Anything with Ray Winston in it
Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels
Snatch
The "Carry On" series of movies
Oliver - the 60's musical and similar such films, such as "1/2 a Sixpence"

Comedians:
Bill Bailey
Mike Reid
Jim Davidson
Ben Elton
Alexi Sayle
