I know this is an unusual question, but I want to hear some criticism on my work.

Well, since you asked for it:

Victor's Item Pack
The Lich Slayer +5 is overpowered.  Especially considering when you get it.  I don't think any stores (barring the improved Adventurer's Mart) should be selling +5 weapons and they definitely should not be available right from the start of the game.

Djinn Merchant
Can you say, "Munchkin?"  The items that this guy sells are so ludicrously overpowered that they shouldn't exist until Throne of Bhaal.  Level nine spells should not be available until the very end of the game.

Romance Friendly Imprisonment
I have had my romanced NPCs be imprisoned.  The romance was never once killed.  I honestly never saw a point to this one.

Lydia's Scroll
I actually like the concept of this one, but I would rather see her not overwrite an existing enemy.

Improved Bard Song
Bards are one of the most powerful classes in the game already and are even moreso if this component is added.  Blades should definitely not get the improved song.  Actually, how about changing it so that the player can choose which kits get the song change?

1) You have a point about the scimitar. From the next version it will be Chapter 6 only.

2) The items aren't overpowered in comparison with the most merchant mods I've seen. You can also get more powerful stuff from the Watcher's Keep which is available even in Chapter 2.

3) There's lot's of tweaks for romances, this is just one of them and it probably predates most of the them. You should ask Galactygon about it.

4)About Lydia's scroll: There's no logic in an undead monstrosity, roaming freely in the Underdark. That's why I had to ise the Sphere prison

5)The bard song is really the worst and by far the most useless component of the mod. I coded it in a moment of madness, and I am sencerely remorseful about it. Especially after I found out that it is not compatible with most of the other bard tweaks.
