The problem of paying modders is more one of copyright, in my opinion. Some companies will overlook the fact you're messing with their copyrights, just as adding Drizzt to your mod, for instance, as long as your mod is done as a hobby with no profit. Try to make it commercial and start profiting from it and these same companies will turn their legal guns against you for copyright infringement.
@mlnevese. makes lots of sense. Ultimately then it's the companies that create the original games that do it for profit. Without that as part of their motivation we would never have the classic BG series. Thanks to the modders also, for what they do for the love of the game itself.
