A7-SkipChateauIrenicus VS A7-NoEENPCs

Re: recs, I'm gonna be lazy and link this thread I made - the stuff that adds banters/friendships is near the top, and item mods are a bit further down, though you've got most of the ones I'd recommend. And Skip Chateau Irenicus is the DBG-equivalent I use.

As for the install order itself - are you running BG2 original flavor, or EE? Because I would recommend using this version of dungeon be gone instead (though I think it's actually compatible with the original game anyway).

Skip Chateau Irenicus: EE equivalent of the old Dungeon-Be-Gone mod. Optionally teleports all recruitable characters to the surface, and is compatible with mod NPCs.

And yep, there's a mod for that: Skip Chateau Irenicus

hey, do you still want dungeon be gone? I don't think it was ever updated for EE, but there's a modern skip Chateau Irenicus with a mac version

Here

The Convenient EE NPCs mod lets you choose which ones to disable on a case by case basis - or to shut them up so they can't initiate dialogue with you.

Convenient EE NPCs: allows you to remove or render passive the EE NPCs (preventing them from initiating dialogue), or to change their classes or portraits. If you choose to disable all of them, you can also choose to add NPC items to stores if you don’t want to miss out on gear.

Worth noting that if you don't like the EE companions, it's trivially easy to mod them out. I spent enough time with them to confirm that they weren't for me, so now I get the advantages of the EEs without the downsides.

My game is v2.6.6.0 from GOG with the following mods: - Convenient Enhanced Edition NPCs (A7-ConvenientEENPCs) - The Tweaks Anthology (cdtweaks) - https://github.com/r-e-d/LeUI-SoD[(LeUI-SoD)](https://github.com/r-e-d/LeUI-SoD) - Rogue Rebalancing (rr)

I HIGHLY recommend installing this mod and removing all of the EE NPCs, at least for your first plathrough.
