  • WheelsOfProphecy

    Wheels of Prophecy is a mod for Baldur's Gate II original or the Enhanced Edition. Wheels of Prophecy is a smallish mod that tries to add a bit more nonlinearity and roleplaying opportunity to the Throne of Bhaal expansion, mostly but not entirely centered around chapter nine. In summary, Wheels of Prophecy doesn't change the events of Throne of Bhaal (not much, anyway), but it does let the player interact with them in a much more flexible way.

  • Wheels of Prophecy in its current state is emphatically not playable. There is a new fork which is supposed to correct most of its errors, but I haven't tested it. All I can say is that the last time I tried to use it, I had cutscenes triggering twice, I had to resort to the console to get things to fire, and it was a gigantic mess that I cannot in good faith recommend. It's a shame, because I liked what I saw, but at present it's just not functional. I would steer clear.

  • Scales_of_Balance

    a tweak mod and kit pack for BG2/TOB, BGEE, BG2EE, and IWDEE

  • 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).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Faiths_and_Powers

    Faiths and Powers mod (by subtledoctor)

  • Faiths and Powers: I use nuFnP spheres and have everything except "spontaneous casting" installed. Note that I'm using the new pre-release fork. Conceptually this is probably my favorite divine caster overhaul: I love that Viconia, Branwen, and Anomen get such different spell selections, and the paladin revamp is similarly an enjoyable way to differentiate characters. I have run into a couple bugs - blank/improperly assigned abilities, but again, idk if it's me or the mod, because I tend to install a lot of stuff (and I'll note that they were easy fixes anyway). And not every kit mod is compatible with this mod's sphere systems, which may result in characters only having access to "universal" spells. Overall it's been a good experience, and I like the mod enough that I'm willing to chance some bugs, but I get if that's not your thing. Oh yeah, and as a final note: using any sphere system makes it so that the Dual To Kit mod is effectively mandatory for cleric or druid dual-classes.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
