Well For one, I was kinda annoyed by all the non-english mods out there and them guys translating every english one like no tomorrow I started only with the quest mods, then saw that the store mods wouldn't take much more time ... and finally graduated to the NPC mods (I was bored at the time cause BWP8 was taking long )Kinda wondering if I should even bother adding the ones with containers to Unique Containers. Why did you bother translating them even (the bad ones, that is)?
Anyway, the second point was that, since they're gonna be installed by english users, they're gonna be noticed more now ... And sooner or later, someone's gonna report about the overpoweredness (like mm_75 and OneEyedPhoenix are doing for DS/NTotSC)
Ya know what? I'm gonna install them ... and I'm gonna laugh like I've never laughed before <maniacal laughter>Go ahead, install them on BG2, play them. Laugh. No need to slap them onto BWP as well though.
Anyway, since the BWP is a project that tries to incorporate ALL mods for ALL kinds of players (not only the FR purists and game-balance seekers), leaving them out (even though they're perfectly usable) seems contradictory
Since there's no possibility of creating a special Joke Mods install mode (I think ), if they're shifted to a Tactics/Expert install, do you think first-time players who just wanna see extra (non-buggy) content would see them?? In fact, moving them to Tactics (which is supposed to be for l33t and tactical gamers ... who won't be the least excited about such mods) seems like giving cheese to the cats while the mice look on
They're just flavor and can be easily unchecked using the BWS. Now you don't expect first-time BWS users to critically examine each mod and check/uncheck them to fit theire play style now, do you?? Users experienced with the BWS can uncheck them easily (instead of expecting n00bs to check them)
Cheers,
Lol
