September 5, 200520 yr Make sure you install Baldurdash, it fixes a ****load of bugs. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
September 5, 200520 yr Industry standard: Baldurdash after you've installed the latest Bioware patch. Then in my humble you need to go: Tactics Ease of Use Item Pack (all Wes Weimer) Then Unfinished Business Redemption/ Ascension aVENGER's rogue re-balancing Improved Thief Stronghold Then (NPCs) Kelsey and, perhaps, Soulafein. If you have immacuate taste you will also install the "any class/ any weapon" component from Ashes of Embers for some semi 3E goodness. I'll get flamed but I only use WeiDU mods. Period. I don't care. Pocket Plane and Gibberlings Three remain the best BG2 modding resources on the Net (respect, guys!). Now I am a busier person with a tiny Monte (etc) I only get to game a few hours/week but I still spend an hour or two on my modded BG2 (still Ftr/Thf if anyone is interested). If any CRPG designer is planning on a game half as good anytime soon, please PM me and I'll but it. Until then... Cheers MC
September 5, 200520 yr Redemption/ Ascension Hell, yeah. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
September 6, 200520 yr Most WeiDU mods are compatible, I have all the above plus a few others all simultaneously installed on my BG2/ToB. Having ToB installed can be a compatability issue for some mods. All of those mentioned above are user-friendly, excellently packaged, QA-tested and have readme files to help. Cheers MC
September 6, 200520 yr Agreed with Monte Carlo. Either Tactics or Improved Battles are essential (unless you want something as easy as KOTOR. well, maybe not that much.), Ease of Use is great for some of its functions (like stacking), and baldurdash > *. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
September 6, 200520 yr Yay for this thread! "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
September 11, 200520 yr Right. I've downloaded just about every single one of these mods now. Any final advice before I reduce the Hammer of Bastards to radioactive goo by installing them? How will I get rid of any ones that are useless? Also, why are all the NPCs so super-cheesy? It stadns to reason that anyone modding the game is likely to be good enough that they don't need to power game. I'd rather have some NPCs who are actually a challenge to include but reward players by being interesting. "It wasn't lies.

September 11, 200520 yr What bothers me most about the NPC mods is that there are 3 evil NPCS in the game, 4 once you get to ToB, and like 8 good or neutral NPCs, yet it seems all but one of the NPC mods are good aligned. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
September 11, 200520 yr SNIP <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dangit, I installed all those mods, and now the game won't start. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
September 12, 200520 yr I gotta pick up some of those mods one of these days. Unfortunately I just finished a play through of BG2 and it'll be a while before I start a new game up again.
