Baldur's Gate Modding in 2012? (Are all of the "big" mods awful?)

    Has anyone kept up to date on Baldur's Gate 1/2 modding?

    I have an ongoing Baldur's Gate Trilogy - the mod that combines BG1 and BG2 into a seamless game - that's almost 2 years now. Yeah, I'm a slow player. According to xfire I have over 120 hours on this game so far and I'm not even close to finishing BG2. The games combined have a fuckton of content, and I'm not even using any of the big addon player-made mods, which I'm now thinking of doing.

    Are there any good mods that have come out in the last few years that are worth looking into?

    What's the consensus on the "big" content mods? I seem to remember them being in the realm of "total shit" with writing that comes across like fan fiction and incredibly unbalanced items and spells, like absurd +6 swords and BS like that. And one in particular boasts "400 new spells" - right. I don't know why people have an uncontrollable urge to make their quest mods with obscene rewards that are better than anything you'd normally find in the game. And does the game really need 400 new spells? It probably breaks the spell list for one thing.

    Are any of them at all (Darkest Day, Dark Side of the Sword Coast, Shadows over Soubar, Check the Bodies) any good? There are more but I can't name them off hand. I doubt they can be installed in the middle of a game, anyway, but for future knowledge it would be nice to know. The idea of playing a massive 400+ hour Baldur's Gate campaign is pretty appealing to me anyway. Probably not so much for others.

    Aside from big mods, are there any others that are "must haves"? My current install is probably well out of date (my weidu log says BGT is from Feb 2010) but I'm too scared of trying to update mods and mutilating my install.

    Big content mods are shit, try small content mods instead. Some good ones include the Quest Pack, Virtue, and Unfinished Business.

    Are you asking solely about mods with new content or also for enhancing gameplay? What mods do you normally install?

    Yeah, I mostly meant the "big content" mods. I'm probably 1/2 through BG now and doubt I can add any real mods at this point. I was mostly just wondering the Kodex konsensus on the big content mods and if any of them are worthwhile and not full of unbalanced items and fan fiction writing.

    Darkest Day is awful, completely breaks immersion with its lack of balance. Check the bodies - so-so. What else is there considered big - dont remember, mostly sticking to average-sized mods like UB and various NPC mods.

    The general consensus is that if anyone is mad enough to sink such a huge time into creating a big mod for a crap game such as BG, it is very unlikely it can be good.

    My biggest gripe with replaying BG2/ToB was how easy the game became one you've figured out the exploits. I've heard good things about the Tactics mod challenge-wise, does it make the game worth a replay?

    Install Sword Coast Stratagems instead of Tactics.

    Tactics turn some fights into cheese-fests. Unfinished Bzns is generally good, but has moments of spotty writing/presentation. Big mods are shit. Romance and expanded party banter mods are the only worthwhile offerings :smug:

    Seconded.

    Also, get Luizmods for the basic AI routine fix. A tiny tweak that improves gameplay hugely.

    What about Vlads Tortured Souls - Never Ending Journey? The concept was interesting, but I dont recall for what reason (there was drama about it ) he pulled it of from web and at that time I never managed to play it.

    I've never used any of the "big mods" due to excactly the reasons you mention. The authors of those mods always seemed to be most interested in kewl weapons, phat lewt and unbalancing kits. But at least they didn't seem like angst ridden EMOs writing romances.



    For BG1 the "must haves" for me are TuTu/BGT, Widescreen Mod, the BG1 NPC Project (very well written for amateurs) and Sword Coast Stratagems.

    Definitely chose SCS over Tactics for BG 2. The latter has some good parts (like Torgal the troll) but most of it is a cheese fest de luxe.

    Last time I played the Baldur's Gates I was very happy with my mod selection, as they made for a balanced and challenging game, with some new quality content:

    If you want to experience what it's like to have a game break your legs, gouge your eyes out with a pitchfork, shit in your mouth and then rape you in the ass with a splintering rod, give Improved Anvil for BG2 a shot. Be advised that it's (to my knowledge) incompatible with most other mods out there, so it's going to be a stand alone experience, though it has tons of content and enough excruciatingly frustrating battles in it to keep you occupied for a while. It's also cheesy as fuck.

    Out of the big mods, I found Check The Bodies(bar the tedious part, good thing there is add-on mod for excluding it) and Never Ending Journey(cuz it's just ripped IWD1 until Severed Hand plus some additions) pretty good.

    They're still worse then most of little mods for the lack of direction(?).

    "Neverending Journey" is insanely hard, à la "Tactics". I hated both. They are all about reloading until you do it the only way you can actually do it. IE's RTwP doesn't mix well with grossly imbalanced fights and only encourages cheesing/exploiting. This is no X-Com or Jagged Alliance. At least, not yet... :(

    Also,

    First rule of BG Club is that big mods are subpar at best.

    Don't forget Wheels of Phrophecy and Ascension to improve your TOB experience.

    Yes Iron Modder competitions, I think most ran on Forgotten Wars and SimDing0 had just recently created Giberlings 3.
    Man has it been so long?
    As to I.R. not my cup of tea, but I hear there is Sarelith NPC romance.:incline:

    The worst thing about the Saerileth mod is it's defenders. Fucking pedophiles.

    I was quite horrified by the fact that the 'Big World' fanbangfest required 15-20 gigs for download and unpacking

    that's a lot of unmitigated bioware community loving

    also have you bros noticed how the VA for the Saerileth mod sounds very much like a fat lady struggling not to let any bodily bass into her sentences and ends up plodding everywhere cadence-wise

    as one man put it to me "I could practically taste the ham over my speakers"

    dost my lord not haveth more cake for thy Saerileth

    I was about to try this after a long time of not playing BG2, any recommendations? Everybody says you need to get the new classes or you're fucked up.
