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.

Crossmod Banters will be available through IWD Crossmod Banter Pack once ready.

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.

• DOWNLOAD

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!

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.

Special thanks to @Acifer for some beautifully crafted areas, @GoForTheEyes for proofreading and voiceacting and norQ and Soul for their voiceacting help with the mod!

This mod adds a new companion to Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition - Dendjelion. He's a halfling blackguard from Westgate. A crude person and a follower of Bhaal, the infamous Lord of Murder. A man who believes death may bring a change. Strong and vengeful. He came to Kuldahar in search of Noon - a knight of Lliira that he blames for killing his brother.

In the new version, if you decide to side with Noon near the very end of the game, Noon will replace Dendjelion in the team so you won't be left alone without an additional fighter after losing one.

Might & Guile is updated to version 5.7 with improvements/fixes for the Samurai kit

Faiths & Powers is updated to version 0.86.6 with improved compatibility for new spells added by SCS and ToF

5E Spellcasting is updated to version 2.5.2 with some minor fixes and improved compatibility for new spells added by SCS and ToF

The Unearthed Arcana series of mods (/link) represent a number of changes and additions to the way classes work in the Baldur's Gate games:

• Might & Guile offers new kits and various class improvements for fighters, rangers, thieves, and bards.
• Tome & Blood offers new sorcerer kits and various improvements and new mechanics for mages and sorcerers.
• Faiths & Powers offers many new priest kits, divine spellcasting changes, new kits and archetypes for paladins, and even more kits for multiclass priests - including more multiclass druids.
• Will to Power adds a 2E-inspired "psionics is not magic" point-based psionics system to the game, along with psion kits and even wild talents for non-psions.
• 5th Edition Spellcasting allows mages/bards/priests to cast spells with 5th Edition rules: you memorize a certain subset of spells, but then you can cast them interchangeably.
• Magic Battles Revised streamlines the arcane "magic duel" system, making it a bit quicker, and more sensible.
• BP-in-BG inserts the Black Pits 1 campaign into the regular Baldur's Gate game.

Taken together, these mods represent a unified vision of how all the game's classes can operate and interact in new and improved ways. However because everyone's taste is different, they are designed to be as modular as possible, allowing players to pick and choose from among different tweaks and improvements. Compatibility with other mods is maximized wherever possible.

Combat Skills and Proficiencies is updated to version 1.4.3 making cantrips available to thieves via spending weapons proficiencies (if the Innate Cantrips are installed from SubtleD's Spell Tweaks)

SubtleD's Spell Tweaks is updated to version 2.7 with fixes for the Innate Cantrips

SubtleD's Item Tweaks is updated to version 1.3.2 with improvements to the components affecting Rings of Wizardry

SubtleD's Stat Overhauls is updated to version 1.5.1 making Wisdom-based bonus spells available to paladins and rangers, and with improved compatibility with new spells added by SCS and ToF.

The SubtleD Tweaks series of mods provides a large number of tweaks both large and small, to spells, items, abilities, and other game mechanics:

• Combat Skills & Proficiencies provides alternate rules for weapon proficiencies and fighting styles, and adds a feat system that is integrated into the game's proficiency system.
• SubtleD's Spell Tweaks overhauls some systems underlying certain spells, like familiars and illusionary clones, and tweaks several dozen spells on a smaller scale to make them more balanced, more distinctive, and more fun.
• SubtleD's Item Tweaks improves several items to make them more engaging and useful.
• SubtleD's Stat Overhauls improves various aspects of ability scores, adding new bonuses, new penalties (!), and more interaction with other systems (like spell memorization slots).
• IWD_EET_Integration alters the way tipun's IWD and IWD2 mods interact with EET: it allows those campaigns to be played independently from level 1, and optionally adds some IWD content into the BG2/SoA campaign.

Taken together, these mods represent a unified vision of how the game's spells and other abilities can operate and interact in new and improved ways. However because everyone's taste is different, they are designed to be as modular as possible, allowing players to pick and choose from among different tweaks and improvements. Compatibility with other mods is maximized wherever possible.

WeiDU.org

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.

A pair of updates for some of Wes' older IWD2 mods to shake out some old bugs and ensure compatibility with the new IWD2EE mod.

IWD2 Bonus Merchant

This is a mod that makes a bonus merchant in IWD2 selling equipment from BG2. If you've played BG2, you know how these bonus merchants work: vastly overpriced, moderately powerful items that you wouldn't get anywhere else.

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.

In collaboration with Acifer, it is with great joy that I am announcing the release of our newest mod, Crucible.

Crucible features a continuation of the story once the player closes their pocket plane in ToB. Instead of immediately beginning the final fight at the Throne of Blood, the player will find themself in Gehenna outside of Bhaal's kingdom. From here, the player will need to assault Bhaal's kingdom and fight to the Throne. This mod includes about a dozen new areas, created by Acifer, and delves into the lore surrounding Bhaal while offering many new and challenging opponents and tactical encounters. The player should expect the mod to add about 1 to 3 hours to the game.
