Fall reigns. Halloween is just around the corner. And what is the better way to celebrate, than to delve into the realm of Ravenloft! Weasel Mods welcomes a new mod: The Bloodied Stings of Barovia (released as a part of The Dreadful Tales mod series).

The Bloodied Stings of Barovia is a new dark adventure for Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition. It takes the Child of Bhaal and their party to Barovia, part of the realm of Ravenloft. In this ominous land, the player will face new enemies and formidable creatures, solve intricate riddles, and experience a gripping gothic horror story. Immerse yourself in mists, navigate dangerous forests, and confront undead creatures, all while seeking your way back to Athkatla.

The quest was designed for characters of level 12 or higher with some magical gear. To begin the adventure, locate a new entrance within the Athkatla Graveyard and step through a red portal you'll encounter there. Beware, however, as once you cross this threshold, you won't be able to return home until you've completed most of the quests that await you on the other side.

The Gibberlings Three

Amber is a tiefling rogue of a chaotic good alignment, possessed of a few special abilities. Despite being fairly intelligent, she can at times be rather blunt when communicating with other people. This trait rarely earns her friends among the people she meets, and the feeling of initial dislike is usually mutual. But underneath her prickly manners, she has a good heart and is prepared to go to great lengths to help those who she sees to be weak and in need of aid.

Version 6 fixes the text encoding issues of v5.1 and fixes a handful of other issues. Learn more about Amber on her project page or readme, join us on Discord or the forums, or download v6.

Sword Coast Stratagems is a collection of interconnected mini-mods for Baldur's Gate (on the BGT/BGTUTU/BGEE versions) and Baldur's Gate II. It is primarily a tactical and AI-enhancement mod: the idea is to make the game's combat more interesting, tactically challenging, and realistic by more effective use of, and choices of, creatures' abilities. It also contains a few rule tweaks and ease-of-use features.

Version 35 is a fairly substantial release, with the following main features:

• 60-odd bugfixes and compatibility fixes
• (Provisional, experimental, partial) support for Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition
• New 'revised handling of death effects' component
• New 'revised elementals' component
• New 'revised resting' component
• New 'revised inns' component
• Reorganization of spell tweaks components along with some new optional tweaks
• 15 new spells (9 mage, 6 cleric) with the mage spells mostly focused around elemental effects and the cleric spells mostly borrowed from Divine Remix
• Multiple changes to achieve compatibility with my forthcoming 'Talents of Faerun' mod
• New component, 'Include bard songs from IWD:EE' (identical to the IWDification component)
• 'Make spell sequencers and contingencies into innate abilities' restored
• A few dozen more minor tweaks

Talents of Faerûn (ToF) is a new mod by DavidW, author of Sword Coast Stratagems. 

ToF is a collection of about 85 mini-mods for the Enhanced Edition versions of Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, and Icewind Dale, partially inspired by existing mods and tabletop Dungeons and Dragons resources. It contains many optional tweaks to various parts of gameplay, focusing on expanding and rebalancing player character abilities. Features include 150-odd new high-level abilities, a new 'feat' system where lower-level characters gain abilities every few levels, revisions to existing kits, new classes, new kits for multi-class characters, new types of magical specialization, a dozen or so new spells, many spell tweaks, 20-odd new gods for clerics to worship, a subrace system, a revised system of cleric/druid spells, and tweaks to the rules for ability scores and proficiencies.

Talents of Faerûn is currently in 'beta', meaning that I think it ought to be recreationally playable but almost certainly contains significant bugs that my own testing has not discovered. Use at own risk.

Grab it direct here. You can also visit the extensive project pages, readme, or TOF forum for more information.

I've updated this mod to version 4.0 adding some new quests and features.

The City Watch

In response to the escalating threat posed by the Gorgon’s Eye thieves guild, the residents of Beregost have established the City Watch. A new force, supported by the Flaming Fist, who patrol the streets to counter the guild's activities. Players who join the guild but find their activities not to their liking can now assist the City Watch in a raid against the guild's hideout.

New Quests

Ariosh: A substantial new storyline focusing on the darker aspects of street life in Beregost, coupled with the guild’s struggles against the City Watch. There is no possibility for a "good-alignment" redemption in its second half and therefore the latter is not mandatory to complete.

Rigaldo: Includes 2 new quests. The first is related to the guild's expansion in Nashkel, and the second involves a stolen tome from Candlekeep. Additionally, all of Rigaldo's earlier quests have been reworked for improvements.

Liedel: Three new bounties set in Baldur's Gate. 

New Areas

The Fighting Pits: A strategic expansion to the Gorgon's Eye hideout, the Fighting Pits serve as a small 1v1 arena where players can challenge themselves to ascend the ranks and ultimately claim the title of champion. This addition serves as an auxiliary enterprise for the guild, supplementing the existing casino and brothel operations, and further diversifying its revenue streams.

The Gorgon’s Den: An extended area of Meredia’s brothel within the Gorgon’s Eye hideout. It offers explicit adult content due to a result of me getting carried away with the writing, and trying to make the guild’s operations more interactive. I honestly wouldn't recommend using this feature. It's best viewed as a background element that enhances the atmosphere and allure within the clandestine underworld of a thieves’ guild.

The Black Markets: Accessible from the Baldur's Gate thieves guild, this hidden marketplace is exclusive to only those skilled in the art of thievery. It offers rare and exotic items, such as useable traps and stat rings. It’s also a hub of information where secrets are traded. The Thief Compendium books are now located here and sold by Naga, a priestess of Mask.

NPC Interjections

Over 100 interjections from various NPCs have been incorporated, adding over 500 lines of new dialog. Some include banter with other NPC's in the party.

Enhanced Gameplay and Features

New portraits for all added NPCs.
New items.
Enhanced and extended dialogues.
Enhanced and extended item descriptions and journal entries.

Balancing and Fixes

Adjustments to the Shadow Thieves attack on Beregost.
Icon and item corrections.
Modifications to all Kerykeion weapons, now only +2 with fewer abilities.
Increased guild profit rewards based on risk levels.
Large monetary reward for siding with the Shadow Thieves.

Another edition of Weasel Mods’ Winter Releases is here! However, This year, you will get all the updates at once! So, if you’re planning your next run during the Winter Holidays, grab the new versions and… have fun! Here’s the list of updates:

Shades of the Sword Coast

The update includes a Chinese translation by @"lzw104522773" aka Lewis Liu (鱼儿水中游), tested by Ghostcat (蔷薇天野风) as well as a new graphic for slightly improved animation of an entrance to the Undercellar's new room.

• DOWNLOAD

Skie: The Cost of One Girl’s Soul

The update offers fixes of some typos left in the mod, an ambient sound for the mod area, and animations for the same area. Skie’s and Eddard’s .cre files also got some minor fixes.

• DOWNLOAD

The Dreadful Tales: In Love, Undeath

The update comes with a little compatibility fix as well as a little update of Xzelë’s .cre files

• DOWNLOAD

Fyalvara

This update also comes with minor fixes, but not just that. From now on, Fyalvara includes XP adjustment scripts, so if you decide to join her a bit later in the game, the experience gap shouldn’t be that big.

Dvaradime

Apart from a minor .cre fix, this update also comes with a fix for a problem with Dvaradime’s talk with Ribald (the one that should come after you complete Dvaradime’s personal quest).

And that’s all! Have a wonderful time, Baldur’s Gate fans! And stay safe!

Xikâsz's Grove of Chaos is a new mod that adds a new quest to IWD:EE as well as provides players with a new possible companion, Xikâsz - an elven fighter/wildmage/thief of neutral alignment.

In the mod, you will get a chance to investigate a new area near Kuldahar. An old grove near which a shady character has been spotted. Is he a friend? Or a foe? It is up to you to go there and find out. But be careful, as you may need to face some new beasts during your investigation.

To start a quest you need to talk to an agitated woman in Kuldahar. However, your main character must gather at least 10.000 experience points for the quest to start.

From Wes: Quite a few priest, druid and mage spells are extended (linearly) in all respects up to 50th level. For example, a 50th level mage casting Fireball does 50d6 damage (save for half). A 50th level mage casting Blur gains the blur benefits for 150 rounds. Note that this applies to you and to your enemies.

From Cam: This is not meant to be a balanced mod and, while you may eat a 30d6 Fireball once in a while, for the most part it's going to make the game substantially easier by buffing your spellcasters. It's meant to be fun, even if it can be a bit silly.

This mod has been recoded from the bottom up and quite a few improvements have been made along the way, notably, that it covers many more spells than before; that it now covers the original Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate games, BGEE, BG2EE, IWDEE, BGT, Tutu, and BGT; that any level cap from 1 to 50 can be selected; that it does so without overwriting the old spells; and that it also updates game text and spell descriptions.
