The Gibberlings Three

This mod adds crossmod content - including banters, interjections and romance conflicts - to several NPC mods for Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, as well as serving as a hub for crossmod of future mods for IWD:EE.

Version 2 adds content for Lava's Xikâsz and makes a ton of changes under-the-hood.

The Item Upgrade mod allows Cromwell and Cespenar to upgrade additional items in BGII. One third of them are convenience functions (e.g., they save you ring or boot space), one third of them try to beef up categories of weapons that are "weak by comparison" (e.g., clubs and spears), and one third of them upgrade NPC-specific items.

Version 52 features a new (Simplified) Chinese translation, a fix to the bugged Polish translation, and a new Ring of Protection +3 upgrade.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Gibberlings Three

The Crossmod Banter Pack for Baldur's Gate II is a mod that adds banters, interjections, and romance conflicts between mod NPCs. @Lava's been a very busy weasel, and we have one of the largest updates ever for the Crossmod Banter Pack with 130 new NPC banters.

Item Pack updates to v2.0. New changes are as follow:

- Added Cam's code for item descriptions. Item Pack *SHOULD* now be fully compatible with both BGEE and BG2EE.
- Added extra conditions to prevent some components from being installed in the wrong game.

You can download the mod here (or here).

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

Edwin Romance updates to v4.0,
 
Changelog:
