In terms of class evaluations, compared to their original classes in BG1 & 2, the non-casters (Assassin, Amazon, Barbarian, and especially Paladin) come out ahead power-wise.  That's because BG1 & 2 didn't give many class abilities to any class besides weapon proficiencies and spells.  The Ranger and Paladin in BG1 & 2 are casters, but their normal casting is so weak as to be barely there, and readily replaced by class features that help them more.  Debatably, the default Thief traps are better than Assassin traps, but I'd normally rather have a D2 version of these classes than base.  These classes also have a similar design philosophy to later editions of D&D:  Give the non-casters interesting combat options in addition to hitting things and using skills.  Auto-attacking can be effective, but that alone doesn't keep player interest over the course of a long campaign.

For the casters, Necromancer isn't very comparable to normal Cleric.  They're effectively different classes.  The Druid is likely a bit weaker overall than the BG Druid due to the versatility of the spell list.  Sorcerers just got hosed.  I recommended fixes above because of the massive differences in expectations between D2 (fast-paced action with few buffs) and BG2 (sometimes fast-paced action with LOTS of buffs & debuffs depending on mods and difficulty).  The D2 Sorcerer also faces the 3.5 Warmage class problem of having many flavors of direct damage when he only needs 2, acid/fire (to kill trolls) and magic (for everything else) because BG1 & 2 spell effectiveness is in its versatility like healing, buffing, debuffing, and crowd control and not just bigger flavors of boom.

Sure, a D2 kit only party may work well for BG1 and maybe also SoD, but will likely struggle or stop working some time in BG2.  The above changes I mentioned are meant to counteract that to allow a D2 kit only party to win from Candlekeep to the final fight.

Thankee!

Thankee for your help!

Also, may we get this uploaded to GitHub for posterity?  How EET compatible is this mod?  (I'd much like for it to be EET compatible since that's been my preferred platform!)

Thankee!

I just found Gheed in the Reunion mod!  (Link)

At least GitHub can safely hold files of 800+ meg!

Thankee!

How does this mod compare to AI Denoised Areas?

Thankee!

Thankee!

Where can we see sample screenshots of this mod in action?

Thankee!

EDIT: Apparently, these mods are compatible and the best install order is de'Arnise Romance >> Nalia Romance >> Nalia at Last.

How compatible is this mod with de'Arnise Romance and Nalia at Last?

Wow!  Thankee!  Alleluia!

When in the install order should this updated Saradas Magic I go?

Thankee!  Alleluia!  I've been eager for the 2 Saradas Magic mods to be EET compatible for years now, and you've made this dream come true for Saradas Magic 1!  (Others already ported Saradas Magic II to EET.)

On EET, does the install order matter for Saradas Magic I & II so long as they're after EET Start and before EET End?

The crossmod components are intended to be installed after all the other relevant components for best effect.  Since Nephele has crossmod content with Adrian, Isra, and Petsy, install those 4 mods in your preferred order then the crossmod content after all of those.

Greetings, all!

Is this mod EET compatible?  I scanned the files and it seemed to be, but I wasn't sure and wanted to check.

Thankee!

BUG: If installed on EET and starting a new game in BG1, Target Bunny appears and has its dialog.  The Teleportation Stone of the Cryomancer lets me warp to BGII's Athkatla's Docks and back!

@Deratiseur
I messaged him on SHS but have gotten no reply from him since last year.  If he returns with a French translation for his mod, he'll probably appreciate it.

Bouncer from Discord told me this today regarding this mod:

ERROR Installing [The RPG Solaufein Flirt Pack for BG2 (Rated NC17)], rolling back to previous state
Will uninstall 5 files for [RPGSOLAFLIRTPACK/RPGSOLAFLIRTPACK.TP2] component 0.
Uninstalled 5 files for [RPGSOLAFLIRTPACK/RPGSOLAFLIRTPACK.TP2] component 0.
ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(20, "opendir", "")

Bouncer then noticed that the rpgsolaflirtpack.tp2 references an invalid directory 'solarom' which should be 'solaufein'. After correcting it in the tp2 file it installed successfully. Here is the altered tp2 file.

@Yakkuz

What changed in your version?

Thankee!

Why does this mod hide Watcher's Keep at the start of the game?  Does that make it inaccessible for SoA?  If not, what else does it mean?

Thankee!

I was surprised BGT was still being updated so many years after EET launched, but apparently, there's demand for it.  Well done and thankee!

This Forest of Tethyr patch should be included in CtB.  Zelazko has tested it and it's also worked on BG2EE and EET.

Moezilla mentioned this bug for CtB today in Discord.

Are you using the latest master version, the latest release version, or other?  What's your WeiDU.log?  What game version are you using (EET 2.6, EE 2.5, etc.)?

Thankee!

Does this new Roberciik version include fixes to text corruption on EET?  (Source - last message by Graion)

Thankee Ineth for chronicling your advice in these guides and sharing such with the world!  Alleluia!
