agris Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Hi All, few questions. Do these mods exist for BG1(EE)? Specifically, not for an EET install. A ding0 Experience Fixer-like mod that reduces quest and monster XP? A Max-HP for Bosses only mod? A more specialized version of the Tweaks Anthology component that only gives max HP to Sarevok + crew, Tranzig, Mulahey, etc. Curious if this exists for BG2 as well. A mod that adds vanilla+EE kits to bosses? Such as Deathbringer to Sarevok, berserker for Tazok, etc. This feels like it should be a SCS component, but I don't believe it is. A mod that reduces the effect of reputation on prices, such that items will cost more at 20 rep than they currently do and/or items sell for less. I'm not looking for something dramatic, more in the 25 - 50% range. [edit2: Tweaks has this component] Any help would be appreciated, thank you! edit: I just realized that ding0's XP fixer does work on BG1:EE, apologies. I just tested it and it installed without any warnings. Edited November 9, 2018 by agris Quote
southfla79 Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Tweaks has a reputation tweak. Change Effect of Reputation on Store PricesAll games Your reputation affects the prices of stores throughout the game; notably prices go down as reputation goes up and this component offers ways to change the mechanic. The original variant, Low Reputation Store Discount (Sabre, Richardson, Weimer), is unchanged: reputation values of 8-13 result in no discounts; items are sold at their original prices. Every point lower or higher than 8 or 13, respectively, gives the party a 5% discount. This reaches a maximum of 35% -- meaning that the party will only pay 65% of the item's original price -- at reputation values of 1 and 20. Three new variants, courtesy of Luiz, remove the effect of reputation on storekeepers outright. The resulting prices can be set to 60%, 80%, or 100% of their listed values in general, but note that storekeepers will retain their original markups and buy discounts. Quote
DavidW Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I'm happy to take suggestions for kits for enemies in BG/BG2 ("bosses" or otherwise - actually I don't think that distinction is so clear-cut in these games). "Make Sarevok a Deathbringer" gets suggested with some frequency, but I think instant death on a critical is OP for BG1 and not much fun to play against. Quote
CamDawg Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 #2 is also simple enough to add as another max HP option, if someone wants to provide a list of what they consider to be a 'boss'. Quote
agris Posted November 9, 2018 Author Posted November 9, 2018 Thanks @CamDawg and @DavidW. I'll put together the two lists and start threads in your respective forums so people who play your mods can chime in. Quote
Angel Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 Mm, I never updated the Ding0 Experience Fixer for EE(T), but I don't know of anything that is not compatible with the EE games or EET. I suppose I could look through it sometime. It's been a while since I meddled with that one. Quote

If you revisit it, please consider adding a user-enterable amount to reduce quest/kill XP by, such as 15 or 35%. Also please consider adding thresholds, under which XP won’t be reduced. This is principally to preserve the early game levelling curve in BG1. Quote
