This stuff is done:
- Cromwell/Cespenar dialogues,
- 9 new items, including ones for Sarevok, Minsc, Dorn, and Aerie
- Seven additional randomized items
- Sarevok is now viable as a joinable party member in TOB
- Aerie has more reasonable IA stats
- Limak
- Spellhold Book
- The Four (with more relevant IA rewards, removal of unbalanced items)
- Dracolich is accessible n Ch 6/7 with significantly reduced rewards,

In progress or planned:
- Supreme Golem in Watcher's Keep (party can now fight it and green wyrm),
- Demon fight in Underdark (new Chapter 5 encounter)
- Stronghold quests continue in Chapter 7

Under consideration:
- Early containers in Irenicus dungeon (bag of holding, ammo belt, etc.)
- Store depreciation removal - sell items for same cost regardless if the merchant has them in stock
- everything under "All protagonists can access almost everything in the mod (less balanced)"

We've also introduced a brand new component "Simplified economy" which should be a good substitute for things labeled under "Quality of life". It replaces the majority of unessential loot with its selling price in gold to reduce the amount of inventory management.
