Item_Upgrade VS Forgotten-Armament

Compare Item_Upgrade vs Forgotten-Armament and see what are their differences.

Item_Upgrade

The Item Upgrade Mod Pack allows Cromwell and Cespenar to upgrade more items for you. Half of them are conveniences, the other half try to prop up weapon categories that are "weak" by comparison (e.g., maces and clubs). (by Pocket-Plane-Group)

Forgotten-Armament

Add new items into BGEE, BG2EE, and EET (by Gibberlings3)

  • Are there any weapon expansion mods

    Forgotten Armament and Underrepresented Items are both great mods. They do a lot to make different weapon groups more viable, so taking halberd or bastard sword proficiency feels like a better option.

    There's also Forgotten Armament as a proper alternative. It does similar things like changing items that set a stat to +2 instead of a fixed 18, but the most interesting component is the one that changes all weapons to use the 3.5e rules (I think IR only does it for the scimitar). It doesn't change all the same weapons IR does (yet), and in fact changes some that IR doesn't. The ones both change, FA seems to move away from the funny and/or experimental mechanic design of IR, but if you don't mind spending some time tweaking things, you could mix both to your liking.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing Item_Upgrade and Forgotten-Armament you can also consider the following projects:

Solaufein - Weimer's classic mod changes Solaufein into a joinable NPC for BG2EE and ToB. Revised EE version.

Under-Respresented_Items - This mod adds items to Baldur's Gate 2. The items come from Icewind Dale 2. Only certain kinds of items were chosen. Items were selected to flesh out smaller weapon families.

Tweaks-Anthology - The Tweaks Anthology is a WeiDU compilation of nearly 200 components of cosmetic changes, house rules, and other tweaks. Some of these were fan requests, others are needed changes, and others simply make dealing with the more irritating aspects of the game engine easier. Each component can be installed separately so the player can pick and choose only which ones they wish to install.

SoD-to-BG2EE-Item-Upgrade - Imports more Siege of Dragonspear items into logical (to me at least) locations in BG2:EE during the Shadows of Amn campaign. They are attainable in a variety of ways – quest rewards, drops from enemies killed, shops, and containers.

bg2-wildmage - Wild Mage additions mod for Baldur's Gate 2

BG1NPC - The BG1 NPC Project adds a great deal of content by expanding the depth of character and levels of interaction with the NPCs from the Baldur's Gate game. Requires Tutu, BGT, or BGEE.

msfm - More Style for Mages - A mod for BG:EE, BG2:EE and IWD:EE

AzengaardEE - A time traveller takes the party back to an epic battle and foreshadows a coming one
