Scales_of_Balance VS A7-NoEENPCs

I was referring to Scales of Balance and random tweaks, if you're not familiar. SoB, I haven't used in awhile; random tweaks includes some nice quality of life stuff I like (goodberries, cure spells bypass deflection, etc).

Scales of Balance: A very large mod with potentially far-reaching changes that I have not tested nearly enough to comment on in detail. Includes an armor overhaul, a feat system, major changes to weapon usability, minor tweaks to Icewind Dale items, removal of class-based potion restrictions, overhauls to racial stat bonuses, changes to saving throws, bonus spells for high int/wis/cha, a complete rework of magic resistance, and much more besides. The readme is extremely thorough: read it first to avoid compatibility issues.

It's part of a mod called Scales of Balance. It's got a lot of other changes too, but I just stuck with the ability score based bonus spells component and ignored the rest as the other stuff changed way too much for me. It does also grant mages bonus spells based on intelligence which could potentially be a bit OP with the extra slots a specialist mage already has.

Most stats don't really matter especially in an unmodded game. There are mods to make them more significant. The one I use is Scales of Balance, which contains a crap ton of tweaks and is very granular so you can just install what you want.

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.
