in BGII:EE Mods
Hey guys,

Long time BG2 fan here. I've played through the game countless times start to finish, but never with mods. I feel like I'm due for another run, and I've been eyeing the BG2 compatible list for some time now!

I'm really hoping to relive the story and memories of the original, but with new content to keep it fresh. I'm OK with any mod (NPCs, new kits, kit re-balancing, banter, tweaks, item packs, whatever) so long as it:
1) Blends smoothly into the vanilla content
2) Enhances the experience (or difficulty if in a "this is how it should be" way; SCS seems a good choice here)
3) Is balanced (exp, gold, and items!!). This last one is really important to me.

Any suggestions for entire mods (or specific components) is welcome and much appreciated! =)

    Ascension comes to mind, it provides a challenge and does fill some plot holes in ToB.
    Bg2 tweaks rebalances much of the game but to get a proper description you'd have to look it up (also it's entirely compatible as it was made by one of the devs @CamDawg‌
    Never used them but Unfinished business and the never ending journey come highly recommended.

    Thanks for the response! Definitely have Ascension in mind but wasn't sure if it is EE compatible yet. Will look into the others =)

    Rogue Rebalancing remains one of my favorite mods I've used.

    And while I haven't gotten TOO far into the this play through, I'm trying out aTweaks and have been very happy with what it does as far as making the game more interesting. Some enemies that used to just be annoyances can now pose a threat (my favorite bit).

    I'm also giving the Nalia Romance a try because I like her character.
