A7-DlcMerger VS MinscFriendship

Firstly You're gonna need to download DlcMerger

For future reference, this tool is a bit more up to date and does the same thing.

Download all the mods you want (in this case, the DLC Merger, EET, BG1 Unfinished Business, BG2 Unfinished Business, the Tweaks Anthology). I've provided links for each of them. 1. If there are multiple files, pick the .zip that matches your computer OS (most likely win64-bit). Extract any downloaded zip files.

DLC merger - necessary if you own the Dragonspear DLC, otherwise ignore this.

When you're modding BG1, if you own the Dragonspear DLC, you need to install DLC merger first.

download and install DLC Merger.

Two recommendations: 1. https://github.com/Argent77/A7-DlcMerger this will merge in the DLC to one game so that mods will actually work, if you only have SoD as the installed DLC option 1 is what you want 2. Typically when you install mods you'll want to make a copy of your install outside of steam so that updates won't brick things. Can just ctrl + c -> ctrl + v to another directory

Ok, so I found this DLC mod that must be added to games with SoD from GOG (I have that one): https://github.com/Argent77/A7-DlcMerger/releases/tag/v1.3

DLC Merger https://github.com/Argent77/A7-DlcMerger/releases You'll need to install this first if you plan on using EET. See more instructions below.

If you have SoD (and don't have the game directly from Beamdog), you need to install DLCMerger from https://github.com/Argent77/A7-DlcMerger/releases/tag/v1.3 before the others.

Minsc, Yoshimo, Valygar, Cernd, Imoen, Korgan, Mazzy, Viconia. Pair these with the Banter pack and IEP for even more chatter.

Minsc (note: lets you talk to Boo), Yoshimo, Valygar, Cernd, Imoen, Korgan (it's basically a pub crawl, it's great), Mazzy, Viconia, and Sarevok.

Friendship mods: Cernd, Valygar, Minsc, Imoen, Yoshimo, Korgan, Viconia, Haer’Dalis, and Mazzy. There’s one I haven’t linked here for spoiler reasons. Only click this if you don’t mind having a semi-hidden NPC spoiled: Sarevok friendship Also recommended are BG1 Neera Expansion (for BG1), Wilson Chronicles, and Wings, an Aerie friendship/banter mod.

Extended banter project - NPCs talk with each other more Banter pack - same thing. Some people find the level of chatter excessive, but if you're a completionist, it's easy to run out of dialogue Ascension - the original version was actually written by David Gaider. It's been totally recoded. I don't recommend installing the first component (rewritten chapter 10) because the fight is super tough, but the other stuff is good - longer epilogues, improved character interaction, etc. There are also a bunch of friendship mods that offer expanded non-romantic content. All quite well-written. I've played and liked: Valygar, Minsc, Imoen, Yoshimo, Viconia, Mazzy, Haer'Dalis, and Cernd.
