There seems to be a steady (if slow) stream of new, enthusiastic BG2 players appearing in this forum. I think that's pretty heartening. It's nice to know that despite the marketing money spent to hype more recent RPGs, both good and very bad, BG2 continues to draw attention through its quality and features. It's also got a significant number of mods--nowhere near the number for Morrowind or NWN, but hey, BG2 was never intended for the mod market. Again, their presence is very welcome. They extend the pleasure we all receive from playing, both novice and cranky, aged veteran.
That being the case, I thought I'd start up a thread in which we can praise well-balanced mods. These are mods which add areas, classes, party NPCs, items, etc, but always in a way that keeps the original gameplay foremost in mind, without creating godlike conditions. The kind of mods, in other words, that Bioware itself could have provided.
This is not a thread to vote for a favorite, since that could lead quickly to abuse by a developer's friends doing a massive write-in; and it's not a thread to advertise your own mod. That said, let's hear some recommendations. I'll post one or two of my own when time permits.
