Those giants are a b----!! Those boulders are a little different than my last install of BigPicture where I had different mods too. The last time they had a trap-like effect on my party areas and the animation looked like a flying trap. I am really scared to do the Darkest Day quests because in Trollford Hills giants are going to be all over the place.
On the flip side boulders are great weapons to have for Wulfgar or other STR19 fighter because of their massive stunning effect. Your difficulty setting will help. Also, the ettins aren't too bad if they are in an enclosed place- cloudkill and icestorm are two of my favorites as well as Cloud of Pestilence (awesome sound effects on that one -CHOICE)
Good luck and happy gaming!

Any problems/ mod conflicts i should be aware of that u guys know?

SimDing0's Quest Pack and The Longer Road should be installed before Rogue Rebalancing. The Longer Road, The Darkest Day, Shadows Over Soubar and Tortured Souls and a few other mods on your list have not been tested for compatibility with RR, and the "Additional Shadow Thief Content" component from the Quest Pack is incompatible with the "Shadow Thief Improvements" component of Rogue Rebalancing.

For more information on mods which may cause issues with Rogue Rebalancing and the recommended install order check the compatibility guide.

I havent installed Shadow Thief Improvements" component of Rogue Rebalancing

Just a small note, that component has been heavily revised from what it used to be in v3.11. It's now much more manageable and also features difficulty level scaling. Also, 90% of the combat encounters can now be avoided via stealth. In short, "Shadow Thief Improvements" is significantly easier and much more balanced in the recent versions of RR.

I had no idea that RoT was completely untested with the other mega mods :S sucks...

I don't know about other mods, I was just talking about Rogue Rebalancing. It's entirely possible that both mods could work fine together, but so far, I haven't been able to get a confirmation on this. Of course, you could be the first to test and confirm that RR and LR are indeed compatible with each other.

Ill just install RR after Questpack and LR then.

In general, I always suggest that mods which haven't been specifically tested with RR should be installed before it. It usually produces less conflicts that way, so make sure to install Longer Road and any other mods which are listed as untested (or are not mentioned at all) in my compatibility guide before Rogue Rebalancing.

All components of the Quest Pack are compatible with RR except for "Additional Shadow Thieves Content" which only conflicts with the "Shadow Thief Improvements" component from RR. The Longer Road has not been tested (i.e. I haven't received any player reports on compatibility) with the latest versions of RR and it might potentially cause a (non-critical) problem with the ToB portion of the Chosen of Cyric component (since LR modifies Cyric's pocket plane challenge). That's why I suggested installing LR (as well as any other untested mods) before Rogue Rebalancing. Quest Pack should also be installed before RR because otherwise RR can't detect the "Additional Shadow Thieves Content" component and adjust itself accordingly.

Another major bug probably some conflict from either RR or bad scripting incompatibility with bp and some other mod.
At the flagons inn when starting the summonings with Haer'dalis and Raelis Shai etc in "AR0510" I think, after the 2 quasits that the fire elemental comes, I noticed that the bard Haer'dalis was casting spells on my party and tried to kill Drizzt and then Kivan.As a result all the npcs went hostile when I hit him, the summonings stopped and the quest was ruined...

Any ideas?

PS : I did extended searches and nothing came up about it

EditUpdate :

Meh its an old bug I found a thread : http://forums.gibber....php/t7592.html

Funny is this bug still persists after all that time and it mainly happens for nonbioware npcs hence I got it with Kivan and Drizzt.
As far as I've seen in the thread, I doubt if a permament solution was ever found

It may be with the BPWTSIGHT.BCS, well, on the other hand I am not sure if that affects Haer D or even Drizzt. Two solutions to this problem.
1.Have Haer D in the party when you rescue him from Mekrath and do the planar play summoning hocus pocus
2.Or if you don't like NPC's who whistle while they work, then let the summoning begin and Haer D will get a case of identity crisis and attack whoever. Turn your AI script off and let him follow someone in the party around while the rest battle the minions. The duke should come and the cutscene resumes. FWI, I did this little workaround before and then continued the quest to free the troupe and Haer didn't attack at the end when they all were freed. Try those.

Hehe thnx its ok I 've already finished the quest with the 2nd way u just said its just that I was wondering of a more permanent fix as this seems to be a common problem for many installations.
