Hi Guys,

I've gone back to playing my small BP+BGT mod game of BG x, and I've poked around a bit, and not sure about:
1) where to install new mods in my list;
2) which mod I don't need; and
3) whether I have an up to date list.

In relation to 1) I have downloaded BP Series v3. Though I'm not sure whether I'll use it, or where to put it in the list as you can see I put it almost dead last. I get the feeling I've put Refinements ages ago, also in the wrong place, and that should be further down the list and basically the last thing I install ? I've also downloaded BG2 Tweaks, which I assume goes almost last.

In relation to 2) I downloaded Baldurdash Fix v163, should I be using this or the G3 BG2 Fixpack ?

Baldurdash Fixpack v1.63
NEJ2 Biffer v3
NEJ2 v4.2b
NEJ2 Gui
NEJ2 v6.02
Shadows Over Soubar v1.11
The Darkest Day v1.11
Tortured Souls (BP Compatible Version) v6.09
Baldurs Gate Trilogy - Core v1.04
BGT-NEJ2 Compatibility Patch v1

Custom Portraits for Imoen and Jaheira
Boo - Minsc's Familiar Fixes
Custom Firewalker Kit and continuity for Shar-Teel
Merchant League Store

DSotSC for BGT-Weidu v1.85
NTotSC for BGT-Weidu v1.45
Chloe NPC mod v1.2
Refinements v3.02
Yikari v1.1
Tashia Remix v1.0

Tashia Add-on Pack -> Baldurized Dialogues
Alternate portrait for Tashia -> Alternate Portrait 1

1PP v2
Unfinished Business v1.5
Indira v10.1
Prologue v3
Sirines Call v7
BP V177
BP V177 TOB Trigger Fix
BGTTWEAK v6
DOTWEAK v1.8
XPMOD/DEFJAM v3
BPSeries v3
Plasmocat's Portaits (3 lots of them)
Worldmap v6.4
and finally ran the GUI

I want to add BG2 Tweaks v4 in here as well. I'm assuming it will go after DOTWEAK ? and can I actually put the XPMOD after the worldmap and maybe after running the gui ?

Without BG2 Tweaks and using the Baldurdash it seems to run okay, but now I'm wondering about BG2 Tweaks.

Do I need the BP v177 TOB Trigger Fix as well ?

I did have Redemption installed, but I decided to kill it on my last install a few days ago, even after I removed the two lines from the required file, it still wouldn't install. So I gave up Besides I'm not sure Jonny deserves redemption after all, I thought for a few months he might have But alas I was wrong

Thanks in advance yet again after all this time. I know I'm still a pain guys

Possible spoilers below, so if you haven't played BG1 through to 2 with NEJ, TS, BP, SoS, and a few other mods, be careful.

Anyway.....










I've just finished the NEJ2 jaunt in IWD, I missed fixing the Arboretum, because I forgot about how much stuff I needed.

I've done the following and come across some bugs, after taking Hrothgar back to the "present" with me.

- Came across 2 Yoshimo's. I ended up not accepting the first one after a reload, due to a forum thread in this forum.
- After leaving Jonny's Dungeon. There were 2 Imoens outside, one stayed in my party, the other got taken by the cowled wizards.

Both these bugs have been mentioned in a forum thread, I know.

What I did ?

I ignored the 1st Yoshimo, and before leaving the dungeon, told Imoen to be gone. Thus I was left with no other Imoen except the one the wizards took.

I visited the Copper Coronet, and the first Yoshi was still there.

So....

Will two Yoshi's one in the party with me and the original break the game, if I don't kill the first Yoshi off in the Coronet ?

I would of told Yosh and Kachiko to go to the tavern from the dungeon, but I actually need a mage, and given her Int, and didn't know who else there was out there, I figured I'll keep her, cos I'll drop Hrothgar eventually.

Anyways, my concerns are the following:

1) Two Yoshimos ? Make or break the game ?
2) With Hrothgar in the party, I can get the Ulcaster quest done right ? Because when I went through BG1 part, I got a quest transition message of Ulcaster and starting a quest, and Hrothgar and Imoen needing to wait, and I didn't realise this was a "BG2" thing. I can't travel to Ulcaster at the moment, so I assume I automatically go there ? If I can't finish the quest there, I'll probably just dump Hrothgar now, cos I really don't want to do too much without a Cleric but then I might consider regrabbing Minsc over a cleric, I dunno.

I'll include my Weidu log, if that helps people at all. I'm guessing my duplicate Imoens and duplicate Yoshimos were probably because of the Charming Rogue kit et cetera, and Tortured Souls mod.

Oh, last two queries:

1) I started BG2, with 20 rep, I thought I had a mod installed that broke rep up into two things: rep and errrm sorry I can't remember what the other thing was :-/

2) Going straight from Chapter 1 to Chapter 3 after hitting the slums, is fine, as well right ? It won't break any quests ? Else I'll have to find a way and buy a crap load of stuff from Ribalds before I hit the Slums. Because somehow, I managed to still have like well, let us just say way more gold than I should have as I sold tons of crap in NeJ2.

Hmm, I think that's all my concerns. It's mainly the multiple Yoshi/Imoen, the 20 rep, and Chap 1 to 3 jump because I can't get out of forking over 20k of gold immediately to bloody Coo-boy , and dealing with Hrothgar as I can't travel to Ulcaster yet.

I seem to continually do DS and NSotSC quests in the wrong order or screw them up. I've managed to get Lobar back on track by CLUA consoling to get the guy to show up in the Blushing Mermaid.

But my question is, do you know how I am supposed to get the monk who returns to Ulgoth's Beard to tell me where the Black Hand temple is ? Because he won't talk to me again, and I think it might be because I saved him after killing the demon at the end of the Durlag's Tower quest lot and completing all the werewolf island quests.

If I can't do it, I'm not going to worry this run, as I've completed everything else I think, but it seems the remaining quests I have are all linked up, as I basically only have the salamanders, the black hand and a couple of others left.

In future I think I'll just make sure I don't talk to Lobar early on, and free the monk as early as possible.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I just realised I probably didn't explain the problem I have. Well, I've been to the Salamanders on the North Coast who have told me about the cult. So I've solved Nadalin(sp?) quest, and the Cult's area didn't show up on the world map, and I've done the Northern Citadel, and can't get anything more out of Avery for the moment. I freed Reedrig, but it was after I completed all of the main BG1 and TotSC quests. Given it's said Reedrig opens the area up, even though he and the Ice Salamanders give you the cult quest, is that what my problem is ?

Got a quick question. There may be spoilers regarding game content.

I've got BGT and 95% of the BP and it's related mods installed, et cetera. What I'm wondering, is I've just killed Sarevok, and haven't done the original TotSC areas or some remaining areas I haven't checked out, along with DSotSC and NSotSC, if I jump straight into BG2 can I still access the TotSC et cetera areas and do the quests, or do I have to do the quests now before reporting back to the Duchal Palace, as I found once you report back you get teleported and dropped straight away into BG2.

Thanks.
