Hi,
It's been a while since I last played through BG2 (unmodded), and now I am downloading a bunch of mods to spice up my second time through. Since I am pretty new to the whole BG2 mod scene, I have several questions. First, I am interested in what the Solaufein mod has to offer - I am not really interested in the NPC (from what I hear he is great, but I have a party of official NPCs pretty much lined up and I wouldn't really have a place for him), but moreso the other stuff it adds. I hear it makes some of the encounters tougher and adds more tactical elements... is this correct? What differs between this mod and the Tactics mod?
Also, since the site seems to be down (just my luck that it happens right when I want to start playing), I was wondering if someone could send me the latest Tactics mod (v14). I have v13 and it is small (~600KB), so I figure this is easily doable if anyone would be so kind. I would like to get my hands on the Solaufein mod as well, but I am assuming it will be a much larger file than the Tactics mod and may or may not be easily transferable. If someone could fill me in on this it would be great.
As long as I am on the subject, these are the mods I plan to use:
Ascension
Redemption
Oversight
Tactics
Solaufein (if it adds anything more that Tactics doesn't offer)
Improved Battles
NPC Flirt Pack
Improved Battles
If anyone has any advice on the plausibility and/or wisdom of using this mod configuration, I would very much like to hear it. Additionally, if you have any further mod recommendations that would be great, too.
Thanks a lot for your help!
