in BGII:EE Mods
I'm playing the Back in Brynnlaw mod, and since there might be a reasonable audience on these forums, I decided to offer my thoughts and see whether anyone wants to comment.
The mod has a very nice idea, and the story is good enough. So there's that, which is good and commendable. But my lord, the general tone of all dialogue is all wrong. Whoever wrote it clearly didn't pay attention to the general dialogue in BG2. Words such as "bastard" and "creep" are thrown around very casually, even by NPCs like Imoen. Almost makes me think the mod was written by an adolescent who wanted to make his parents think he's a tough kid. It's that bad. Did anyone else think so?
Incidentally, I just finished the Sellswords mod. I thought it was very good, excellent really, on all levels except one: you get way too many experience points. I mean, really way too many.

That being said, I've played most of Kulyok's mods and she has a... noticeable form of writing. There are times where I find her writing a bit too modern, but not too much so.
But the dialogue choices you get, as Charname, and the comments the rest of your group makes, are blatantly wrong.
Personally I find it somewhat amusing, but to each their own.
