Suggestion, mark "Protagonist can die" component of "EET Tweaks" as "Expert" (red colour).

 

More details here: http://gibberlings3....showtopic=28910

 

 

Second suggestion: could you name your commits with a reference to the changed content? "Final clean-up EET finished" forces to open every commit, one more word or two might help ;)

It is not possible in BWS to mark individual components as Expert, only whole mods. Since the mod is actively maintained, we can expect a solution to come up soon. I also assume that k4thos will publish some warning in his mod description for it.

Got it.

 

Another question. Can a preselection be loaded (.ini file) even if in the meantime there have been other commits? Won't it create problems?

I'd say no, because there are precise references to single components, but just want to be sure.

Another "issue"..

 

I found out my game has this mod in it:

But I never selected it during install  :ermm:

Just make sure (in your weidu.log) if it is the mod you have installed or whether it is just a creature named Haiass that appears in your game due to some other mod.

Mabe Sandrah's Saga? :P

 

I think component 0009 of Sandrah's Saga.. can I not install it? Any issue afterwards? I don't want to bring an animal companion, and since I'm lawful good I don't want to kick it away either.

Ooops.

I probably need to make that more apparent. Sandrah brings two companions to the game and they are even quest characters for the game. I suggest to uninstall Sandrah alltogether.

Mea culpa - I have to review the readme once again to avoid such ugly surprises. It is mentioned several times but maybe the implication of what it means is not clear?

You can ask the Haiass (from Sandrah mod) to wait, he won' t follow anymore and it does not pose a problem, the tigger is sandrah's one companion

Well, I tried but then if I hit the "select all party members" button, it gets selected too. I was wondering if I can simply exclude that component from installation without problems. Edit: no, it is required. Not a big problem ;)

 

I noticed another thing.. Imoen has an "inscribe scrolls" ability. I thought it was the "Allow mages to scribe memorized spells onto scrolls" component from aTweaks, but it turns out she scribes random spells not present in her spellbook. This is quite a cheat. 

Anybody knows where does it come from?

It is not a cheat, it is a regular game feature.

Well, "This feel(i)s like a quite a cheat" is still a thing, as it's NOT in the vanilla game, so ... finding out where it comes from is still requested.

My first throw would be Refinements, Kit Revision, etc things, but as we don't have a weidu.log, I can't say for sure.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

You mean even in an unmodded game?

The ability exists in an unmodded game. The event that lets Imoen gain it from Tarnesh's spellbook when you grant her to start her mage career, is a mod addition.

Anyway, this discussion should not be held in the BWS thread - BWS has nothing to do with it.

If I get someone to tell me which mod it is, I go write there :)

How about a party member with a direct connection to the source of all magic?

Use Near Infinity to remove it. Or simply do not use the feature. It does nothing unless you hit the button.

I linked your report to the EET forum, as this looks more like EET issue rather than BWS.

Did a mega mod install (no modmerge), everything went fine.
