Mods Options

[Shadan]

Since I don't want to play BG2 over and over (I am not able to do due to my time limit), I would like to put into my game as much content as I can with mods. I am searching, checking mods since 2 weeks while I am playing BG1 still. I would be crazy if I would find my game screwed due to incompatibility at middle or end of my game. So I made a mod list from wanted ones in installation order. I would like to ask Sikret and/or any mod expert player to check my list and pls inform me about any possible incompatibility, wrong installation order, or anything what is a somekind of cheat in game balance.

Mo' mods mo' problems, as biggie would say.

You install that many mods and I can almost guarantee there will be conflicts, usually unforseen. Especially with a mod like IA that alters most parts of the original game already.

But, if you're insistent (i've been there; i can relate). I've got extensive experience with having tactics and IA 3 installed (sucked for the most part btw).

These are the parts of tactics I wouldn't install. Some of them are just plain incompatible, others you can install but mess up the game in other ways.

The Ritual (not incompatible, just introduces a ludicrous item into the game)
"Kuroisan", the Acid Kensai (again, fine, but the acid katana he drops is bugged)
Gebhard Blucher's Lich in the Docks (fine but she drops a duplicate ring of air control that one of IA's more powerful recipes use (the ring of air control has been moved from ribald's store in IA): may be imbalancing)
Gebhard Blucher's Random City Encounters (30 superior healing potions whenever you kill the highest level of the random city encounter spawn, plus it happens over and over again, which is boring (not incompatible though))
Smarter Beholders
Göran Rimén's Improved Nymphs
Kensai Ryu's Improved Copper Coronet
SimDing0's Improved Oasis
Mike Barnes' Improved Small Teeth Pass (not sure about this one, but the dragons it adds are bugged anyway)
Slightly Tougher Demons
Tougher Druid Grove
Tougher Fire Giants (sikret's script and this one actually combine fairly well, it just depends on how you feel about mass lower fire resistance spam being added to his improved versions)
