Realy need help Vlad, Too many vesions Options

[Bereth Darkides]

Hi Vlad been a while. I gave up on BP due to so many bugs and problems that have never been fixed.

Of all the mods though, TS has been the best IMHO, so what I am looking for is decent sized mod TS with a few SOLID mini mods to install. Nothing crazy of course, but something that has been proven to work without destroying any of the core BG quests.

After looking up a lot of posts everywhere, it has been suggested that this install might work best. Please let me know if I am correct and if not please help me out.

-----------

Baldurdash-WeiDU v1.6.5 then install TS v7.01
or
G3 BG2 Fixpack then install TS-BP v6.10. (though I realize this is King Diamonds)


Tower of Deception

Freedoms Reign/Reign of Virtue

Solaufein : v103

Weimer's item upgrade

Assension v 111/Redemption

Unfinished Business

NPC Flirt Packs or Romantic Encounters

------------

If you have any suggestions, please help, also mod install order would also be helpfull!
Thanks Vlad

The issue is, so many opinions vs unclarity as to which mod works with which mod.

Too bad about Solaufein NPC though, I really like him!

Sorry to say that, but Sola can MAYBE installed together with IA only using the buffing scripts in the mod, rbeverjr tested it far ahead in Anvil, and I used it also during I have played, but it is sayed, the Sola-battles didn't work together with IA (correct me pls Sikret, if I said something wrong)
With TS:The buffing scripts is again fine, except one encounter, but when you reach Sola, it is worth to recruit him? Because you shouldn't rush to Ch4, you will have Sola very late, and that time, your party will be very shaked down together. And also you will have an excellent Fighter-Mage, much better than Sola, even with his extremelly high MR. Also you will have Yoshimo, perhaps Imoen, and Sime or Valygar. Only two charachterplaces are left,Protagonist included, which depends on the PC-s Class, it should be some sort of Warrior, and a Warrior-Priest. Here can you read my most brutal TS party buildup, but the PC shouldn't be the archerized FIghter-Mage, because SPOILER!

COMP BOw +4 Defender is removed

if I am correct,and to have Kachiko the upgraded Dak'Kon blades, you must install Bdash 1.65, or higher

With respect to Item Upgrades, I have my own reservations. I would not install this mod either. Moreover, I don't see a reason to install such mods together with TS.

About itemupgrades.
First of all it is fully incompatible with Anvil, so if you will play Anvil, you should forget it.

And if not, you should think over it, because in my many BG2 plays, I played with ItemUpgrades with/without TS, hopefully I am an expert in the subject of ItemUpgrades (Sikret remembers, I am tried to convince him put some items in Anvil unsuccesfully...),so I can said, I have almost every Itemupgrade items removed in TOB, Preservation Rings excluded. (Staff of Ram+6 is better then Impaler +4 (Jaheira) Spectral Brand is better than Water's Talon (Kachiko),Storm Star is better than Skullcrusher+5, and Fulcrum/Pitchwife, in a TS party you wouldn't need Incarnadine Elven chain,Klograth Axe is better than Azuredge +4, etc.
So the point is, hard to say, ItemUpgrades helps only in SoA, and to the most difficult Battle without Anvil(Improved Irenicus in Hell /Tactics mod/), when you needs every help, ItemUpgrade items didn't helps except Preservation Rings, but they can be substituted with Invulnerability and regeneration potions.



About TS items...
Hard to say Vlad, but they are also substituted almost all of them in ToB
Giant killer Sling,and Three white doves mace(Sime) is selled in the beginning. Ring of Holiness II didn't passed after Watcher's keep to a Priest PC, to Sime, and to Jaheira. Scarab of goodwill is substituted for Amulet of Master Harper, Girdle of Stromnos is substitued to Fire Giant Strength Belt,Kiss of Gloomfrost is substituted to Angurvadal (Kiss should be good to an additional sword to a Single Class Warrior, preferably fighter, using its additonal skill, bat I didn't had one)Boots of Forgotten ones worked only as a boots of Speed in TOB (damned 22 WIS). Only Selune's Promise, and Edion's Ring of Wizardry was by the party until the end.
