Okay, I've now spent about an hour figuring out what was in my merged Override folder that I mentioned above, and another couple of hours figuring out that nearly all of it was redundant at this point, given the mods I intend to play. In the end, I've decided to keep it fairly simple. If I want to play yet another time after I'm done this one, I'll probably get more adventurous. So here's what I decided to use:
SOA/
TOB (duh!)
Official Patch (again, duh!)
BG2 FixPack
--> then used Near Inifinity to modify AR0406.BCS to restore Joluv
Shut Up "You Must Gather Your Party Before Venturing Forth" WAV file replacement
Unfinished Business
Level 1 NPCs (boy this is hard to do on a DOS screen, and very long as well when you're still trying to figure out what you wanna play!)
1ppv2.70
1ppv3: Avatar Fixes
And with those installed, I want to thank everybody for their suggestions. This thread is bookmarked, and if I re-play (or re-start because I made stupid choices due to not remembering the game well), I'll definitely come back to it an try some other stuff.
Edit: I also tried the Widescreen mod, but I found everything much too small, especially the text, so I reverted to 800 x 600, which looks just fine for me.
