Yes world lingo does a better job, but I will still need to tweak it a bit. Once I get the conversations into some reasonable order I will send you the map file Iryan, I can do it in either DS1 or DS2 so let me know.
Tinkering I got an alpha version of Loridan playable in DS2
Requires the DS1 Map Resources. Took 20 minutes to convert but totally untested apart from verifying that it loads and that at least some npcs exist and DS1 monsters like krug are appearing as they should.

So maybe you'd like to use these files instead.
