What mods do YOU plan on using with refinements?

_______
My plan is as follows:
I?ll be playing a NG Sorcerer that I?m taking through a TuTu game right now & I?ll have the following mods
-Ascension
-Kelsey
-Unfinished Business
-Bioware NPC Flirt Packs
-Banter Packs
-Improved Oasis II
-G3 / CamDawq?s BG2 Tweak Pack
-Ashes of Embers
-Tactics (partial)
-Ease of Use (2-3 components only)
-Throne of Bhaal Refinements
There is also a reasonable chance that I will try Dungeon-Be-Gone.
I?m considering Rogue Rebalancing and Virtue as well but only because of hype by Littiz and TGM in their documentation and here.
If I can find another good NPC mod there is a faint chance that I?ll toss that in the mix too.
My goal is to have lots of extra role-playing content while getting to have fun with the new stuff from Refinements.

Quite long-term plans, if you ask me!I cannot guarantee that I will make it past Saradush though
As for me, I already started a new game with a LE monk PC. The list of mods I'm going to install is quite long though, I install anything that works bugfree and fits into the original concept of BG2. I use every battle-improvement that don't cheat THAT much. I use to install several NPC mods including Valen (modified), Sola, Kelsey, Chloe (modified), Elai and Silver Star. I also add a few general enhancement mods like Oversight, Rogue Rebalancing, Virtue, Item Upgrade (modified) etc.
And of course I install Refinements !
Refinements v2 has been released!

I'll have:
Rogue Rebalancing
Solaufein
Tashia
Virtue
Refinements
I have tried a bunch, but really don't use them. Chloe, Imoen, Silver Star (seemed buggy, but very very creepy), Nalia Romance.
I also cannot in good faith recommend Dungeon-be-gone to anyone that respects BG2. I did try it one, and that was enough. I'll suck it up and play the dungeon. Perhaps a better option to skip the dungeon would be to Cntl-Y and CLUA your way through it if you are that bent on getting it done fast.

I'd suggest installing them in reversed order - Virtue is the only mod that should go on top of Refinements, since it has some effects on the Sword Angel component.Virtue
Refinements
Or simply install Illyxh from Tactics. It is an extremely good and tectical modification and makes the Dungeon REALLY hard and interesting. I always fight him and his group, with different success. I have to admit though that in its latest form the Illych component has most of its previous flaws corrected.I also cannot in good faith recommend Dungeon-be-gone to anyone that respects BG2.

The Improved Dungeon component of the Battles mod can also help a little - it improves the end fight of this area (the Shadow Mage and his two assassins) somewhat.

Anyway, I'll use many of the most popular ones, avoiding things like ease of use and such. Many components of tactics and Item upgrade are well worth it though.
Virtue, Banters, Rogue Rebalancing, Revised Hell Trials, Improved Oasis, Ascension, UB will be also in of course.
Probably I'm missing something. Some of the new ones I have still to check.
In any case, I won't probably play until even RtW is out.
No, Sim provided ideal compatibility.I'd suggest installing them in reversed order - Virtue is the only mod that should go on top of Refinements, since it has some effects on the Sword Angel component.
Virtue can be installed BEFORE OR AFTER the Sword Angel, things will be fine in any case.
The important thing is to use BOTH!!
EDIT: I have some doubts about Ashes of Embers. I don't know if "we" are compatible.
Ever forward, my darling wind...

I never had the rest of those mods, so I can't say.
TDD changes too many things for anything to be compatible with it. That said, some components or Refinements might even work, but certainly not all.
As I said elsewhere, I will do my best (given time!) to provide compatibility with other WeiDU mods, since it is a fair-trade, and "we're all on the same boat", as we say.
NON-WeiDU mods are very low on priority for me, especially since more often than not they do some many changes that every attempt might end in a simple waste of time.

I'm currently soloing a neutral evil sorcerer (taking benefit of both Virtue and Refinements). Next will probably some evil party. I'm still busy on a E F NG F/M with Anomen, Kelsey and Imoen. As soon as my male elven archer finishes BGITutu, he'll be next, romancing Tashia.
