I know there have been similar topics in the past - here, on cob website https://baldur.cob-bg.pl/bg2ee-mody etc . However its 2025 (ending of it , so fast omg.. ) and i think it would be cool to refresh that. I am now finishing bgee in english but i would really love out of nostalgia to play next game of the saga in polish.

My own research and in my opinion best choices here:

1) Adalon's Blood
2) Xan
3) Almateria Restoration Project
4) Questpack simding0
5) Unifinished Business (imho translated rather hm.. poorly.. but it is what it is, better than none!)
6) SCS - afaik. Utility mod so for me doesn't matter, but worth mentioning.
7) Some Weasel Mods for sure, but i think only older ones. Hard to tell as there is no github to check the files afaik.

Looking forward for your input. Maybe i miss something - actually for sure i do.

Cheers!

    Out of some highlights i've seen:

    - Ascension - this is for sure must have however i've never used it as i rarely finish ToB
    - Rogue Rebalancing - apparently it's translated, I didnt know that. Not much to read here tbh but why not!
    - Reunion - i've heard it's a good mod but as stated before I rarely go ToB so i don't know. This time i'll try it
    - Assasinations - I think i've tried it in english, I am not much of a bad guy charname user but maybe it's worth to check it in polish
    - Yoshimo Remorse by Weasel Mods - I've heard very positive feedback about it, again - ToB issue, but for sure worth checking

    Regarding more of Weasel Mods/Lava del Vortel mods - i think one can just filter linked website for his creations translated to polish. "older" ones like some from athkatlan serie are to be seen here. Foundling too.

    Anyway I am looking for anything that I maybe missed and someone would recommend - looking forward!
    XAN NPC here is a benchmark for me - much to read, great mod, great quality, translated.

    I remember for Tales of the Deep Garden from Lava, I found a polish walkthrough.

    I had Google translate it. While the translation was not perfect, I actually got a lot of info from it, which allowed me to find the correct steps for the colours. Not sure if this qualifies nowadays (and oddly enough I could not find it when I just searched; google search is really behaving oddly since a few years).

    IMO it is easier to just use english though, even if it is not perfect. It's just a lower entry barrier in general. I know some mod authors like french as language - in particular Derasiteur, he seems to first write description for his mods in french, then in english; Argent77 seems to know french too (I think? or was it german?) and so forth. Though it's interesting to find out who knows which language indirectly. (I think Acifer and morpheus both understand german? But I am not sure).

    Perhaps you can find some of the older mods. I think the Region of Terror mod was started by a guy from Finland. I am not sure how many of the old ones were written by polish authors. We have a few with russian mods I think; Scheele? And some more. Perhaps some older folks may know more about older mods. Lava may (naturally) know most about the Weasel Mods but perhaps also of other authors from Poland.

    well recent best mods are in english - Dvaradime, Khalid, Dynaheir, Strings of Barovia, Acifer's questmods, Crucible etc.
    Older best ones too - Isra, Kivan and Deheriana etc.
    So it's always a tough decision wether you want to play localized game or do you stick to english version. For me - it's mixed, I use english daily but obviously i am not fluent enough to for example catch dwarven jokes and slang. I'd ride through such speech/banter and my mind will only catch 20% of it. So i observed that when i play in english I am speeding. But then again english version of the Saga is a guarantee of mods fully blended with the game
