The best bits for me are the fast stealth and the ui. I like those quite a bit but I can live without them. Then again, I'm cheap.

To elaborate, Sensuki put a LOT of thought into the combat system. I doubt there is another person who understands the system as well as he does. Basically, when it comes to RTwP in general, he is a person with the expert-level knowledge. Thus if he pours this knowledge into a mod, it would be well worth a few dollars. Not even to pay for his time but to encourage him to do more.

Probably not because I dislike RTWP games as a whole but I voted "yes" because I can easily imagine myself paying money for a quality mod.

An example being the 1257 AD mod for mount and blade warband, I had great amount of fun with that mod and a few dollars really aren't anything.(unless it's the end of the month)

No because his mod doesnt do what i would consider improving the combat, i would even think it affects it badly since it just removes something, and i can live without the rest.

If someone made a mod that uses engagement as i suggested, then maybe, but that would also include working over encounters in some ways and adding better talents, and few more improvements.
For that i would give a few bucks easy.

I'm only using it so can have a solid UI like the infinity games, but sure I would throw some money. Dont forget Bester worked on it too!

No. While he sure put a lot of time into analyzing PoE, I neither agree with most of his conclusions, nor with his vision regarding PoE.

No, but I would buy an Obsidian-made Nehrim-like total conversation mod (doesn't matter if it is on scale of NV or something smaller like NV DLCs) for Skyrim/Fallout 4.
Heck, I would even buy those shitty games if Obsidian decided to make multiple mods (without having to pitch them to Bethesda) just to have an opportunity to play a tolerable AAA open-world title.

If he unfucks the spells, turn talents useful and interesting, make character advancement not so obvious and boring and exterminate the trash mobs and replace them with real combat encounters, on a nother words, turn PoE into a good game, maybe yes.

He also said that the system is fucked on the fundamental level, that nothing can be done at this point and that he won't even bother to finish PoE.

It's RTwP - it's fucked on the fundamental level by default. Like I said, he knows the system better than anyone because he gets RTwP and actually likes it. I'm sure his mod (which I didn't try yet due to the lack of time) would make the game more enjoyable, so I'd gladly pay for it to reward Sensuki's academic excellence.

I was talking about encouragement, I can't speak for him but according to his posts on the official forum he's done with it.

His mod screwed up my game installation. Had to uninstall the entire game and it remains uninstalled while I consider having a go at Icewind Dale EE. I like the idea of the mod though and really want to try to get it to work on my computer. I might pay the $3.00 if it worked and I found that the trash mob heavy combat was improved enough to make actually playing the game itself worthwhile. I think that Obsidian might take issue with that sort of financial arrangement.

Modders should be happy to receive even a positive comment or a +1 for their derivative shit. Greedy bastards won't get a single cent from me, if they want to make money they should get a real job, even Youtubers are more legit than modders.

Gone are the days when modding was a hobby that trained would be game developers. Now they consider themselves developers straight out of their mum's basements just for fiddling with someone else's work. Fills me with rage, I'll pirate all Sensuki mods that I wasn't going to download anyway in protest. :argh::argh::argh::decline::decline::decline::negative:

I wouldn't pay for it because I don't care about PoE enough, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over those guys making money off a good modification.
