Opinion on the mod so far Options

[Patrick_hindman]

I have to say i'm finding this to be the best mod of baldurs gate 2 i've ever played, the battles to me always feel fresh having to switching tactics and not using the same one every time like in the vanilla game till it became a chore to even complete it (congrats on the ai, its the best i've experienced). I have to say after beating torgal i have not had such a adrenaline pumping battle since ascension (and i'm eager for more as i go through the mod). I like how its all balanced and nothing seems overpowered in the game. Though i would make a criticism in that the most frustrating part was probably starting out since most battles were too difficult for low level parties and finding doable battles was hard so i would suggest you mod in some extra content for lower level parties (such as the slavers encounter at the beginning which was pretty good).

Oh i know that you've been bugged alot about this already but i would like some more evil content in the game ie. items and quests. For starters why not allow evil characters to work for firkraag. As i have never modded before and this is too much of a demand just ignore it but keep up the good work you've done an excellent job so far.

No Vuki! For everyone who judges IA before giving yourself some time to learn how to play it. I think it would be much easier if you had never played vanilla BG, cause IA is much different, practically a whole new game. So some re-learning (is that a valid word at all?! I'm from Croatia, English is not my native language ) is a must for IA. The game itself tends to get MUCH easier (for me at least) once your characters start gaining some good scrolls to use and you get those +2, +3 rings to improve your saving throws. In the beggining, having a custom berserker to fight while your protagonist and other NPCs (Valygar, for instance) are confused/held/dead REALLY helped me a lot. Berserkers are great in vanilla game, in IA they're perfect for some nasty early encounters.

I am sorry but I do not get what you are opposed to. What was excatly wrong in my post in your opinion?

Yes, I think it is an ok phrase (maybe is should be written as relearning). But I am from Hungary, so of course English is not my native language. BTW, I will go to Croatia within 3 weeks.

Yes, but I am very greedy and I do not use my scrolls and potions I always try to save them to later occasion. I keep them until they become useless.

And yes, berserkers are cool. I have a barbarian and he is also cool.
