Breaking in the mods for BGEE

Maurvir

I bought BG2EE for Android first, mostly because I loved SoA the most of the trilogy. However, after realizing that a tablet version of the game was more than a novelty, I went back and picked up BGEE. I opted to stick to a vanilla install on that first play through, but now I'm ready to dip my toes in the mods.

I'm planning on taking my PC, Imoen, Branwen, Isra, Sirene. Yes, I know that's a lot of Paladin support, but I really liked Isra in BG2, and I've read good things about Sirene. Not sure who will fit that last slot, though, and I may stick with a team of 5 anyway. (Though I'm tempted to try a few stringers, like Garrick or Coran) Essentially, I want to play NPCs I've not experienced before on this run - I've always hewed towards the canon party. This time, I'm not even sure I will say "hi" to Jaheira (which will be weird...)

I also opted for Unfinished Business and SCS this time around. I'm hoping I didn't mess up too badly with that - I went ahead and install nearly every component except for the one that replaces +1 equipment with "fine" equipment. I hope I got the mod order correct: I went UB, Isra, Sirene, then SCS. I'm loading the modified override folder now, so I guess I'll find out soon.

Lastly, I'm thinking of switching from Conjurer to Sorcerer. I've always wondered about that class, and I figure this might be the time to get it a whirl.

Anyone have any suggestions before I saddle up?

If you have installed SCS then that should be one of the last mods in your install, so it would probably be best not to install anything else. Good luck if you installed all of the tactical challenges!

I did install the tactical challenges. I've played through BG1 so many times, I practically have preferred routes - and despite years between playing on the PC (when it was first released) and BGEE, I apparently remember more than I would have imagined.

It was either this, or up the difficulty slider. I figured this would be more interesting.
