Right in time for my ToB game, too! Thank you, downloading to my BG2 mod folder.

Cool. Let me know how it works out. I didn't test in ToB.

Sure, but probably in a few days, so someone else will be quicker: I've got to install IWD-in-BG2 first.

If you already downloaded it, you might want to get a fresh download. The archive got scrambled on uploading it to the server, so I had to upload again using the more reliable FTP. This one installs cleanly and checks out in NI.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

As for the topic, it goes without saying that making things optional is FAR superior to making things mandatory and forced especially when the technical changes made can be classified more as tweaks (as opposed to changes to the actual storyline).

Most skilled mod authors seem to have understood this simple, basic, fundamental aspect of modding.  Only primitive, 'caveman' modders still living back in the stone age argue against optional components. 

I would've expected this from my two buddies over at BWL, but disappointed to see this mentality still surfacing every now and then in this day and age.

I really can't tell you all how perversely delighted I am to see such heartache over one of the most insignificant elements of a six-year old mod.

I can't either, but I figured this sort of thing would make one feel elated and I figured I'd just help out.

Regardless, whether it's six years, six months or even six days old doesn't excuse it from the fact that "optional = good, imperative = bad."

Pointing out a peremptory disregard to valid criticism is not = complaining.

What I do find odd are those that seem to have the intellect to turn on a computer, register and post on a messageboard, yet somehow unable to figure out how to turn off the 'Caps Lock' button... :(
