I'm currently setting up a new game of BG1 (somehow, it never gets old) using EasyTutu. There are some rules-changing mods I'd like to apply, but I'm not sure about compatibility with EasyTutu and with each other. In particular:
(1) Shapeshifting Fix (TOB Refinements) vs. Shapeshifter Rebalancing (BG2 Tweak Pack)
Which one should I use? It seems the Shapeshifting Fix does the innate weapons such as claws better, but from the description it is not clear if it includes all the changes from Shapeshifter Rebalancing.
(2) Revised Armor and Shields (TOB Refinements) vs. Thieving Abilities/Arcane Spellcasting in Heavy Armor (BG2 Tweaks)
Again it seems that both address the same "problems". From the description I'd use the former mod, but I'm not so sure about compatibility. Does anyone know details?
(3) General Quesion: which BG2 rule-changing mods, installed pre-conversion, will EasyTutu inherit from BG2? So far, for instance, I've tried to install TOB Refinements on BG2, in the hope those components which apply will be inherited by EasyTutu. The same with Phaere's Portraits: if I install them on BG2, then install EasyTutu plus the mod that will give a few BG1 characters their BG2 portraits (I think it was in the BG1 NPC project mod), will they have the portraits changed by the mod or the original ones?
(4) I don't know if it will be possible in EasyTutu games, but I'm thinking of using either Zyraen's XP Evener Script or TOB Style NPCs (BG2 Tweak Pack) to make sure my party members don't differ too much in XP. Again, it seems both try to address the problem, but if there aren't any different CRE files TOB Style NPCs seems to do nothing (is that correct?), and Zyraen's mod has random XP differenences of up to 300K, which isn't suitable for lower-level characters. So, will any of these mods do anything for me, or am I better off using Shadowkeeper?
Thanks for any answers or suggestions...
