A while ago, I began to noticed that various mod authors are planning to introduce similar (and sometimes virtually identical) quest and storyline related additions/alterations to the game, and that this is usually because said mod author simply isn't aware that he isn't the only person who's ever come up with the idea .

In an attempt to help soothe this situation, I had the idea of compiling a list of every storyline or quest related thing done by mods which could potentially interfere or overlap with another. Ideally I'd like this to be an utterly definitive list, but I realize that for various reasons, some modders are hesistant to willingly give out spoilers.

So for those modders who are okay with spoilers (and BTW any players who don't like spoilers obviously shouldn't view the list) and like the idea of such a list, please let me know what you can. Either post here, PM me, or mail me (nick AT frad DOT org). Also, if I've already listed spoilers for your mod that you don't want on there, let me know and I'll remove them ASAP.

Criteria for inclusion:
- Expansion or alteration of an existing quest/story (e.g. betraying Renal)
- New quest/storyline which provides an alternative to an existing quest/story (e.g. a new route to Brynnlaw)
- New quest/story which involves existing BG2 characters (e.g. the kidnapping of Aran Linvail's daughter)
- New quest/story which involves characters from pnp (e.g the Council of Six)
- Anything else quest/story related that seems likely to be repeated by another mod

You can find the current list here. As I said above, if you don't like spoilers, do *not* visit this page! You have been warned.

I've now integrated the list into the wiki, meaning mod makers are free to alter it themselves, any time they like.

The direct link is here.

That particular Wiki page seems to be no longer with us. Or, the link's changed, at any rate. Anyone have an updated link or information on its whereabouts?

SConrad and I spent several hours yesterday recovering this page and reinstating it into the Wiki - it really needs to be updated, and probably reorganised slightly (to separate in progress from complete mods for ease of use), but you can find it here!

Perhaps there could be more categories on the list? For example, Improved Asylum makes the Spellhold Dungeon longer and Spellhold Gauntlet makes it shorter, but neither one is a quest or NPC mod.
