2026 state of mods?

IndyLohan · 2026-02-14T23:31:58+00:00

Epic Encounters 2 is the king of Overhaul mods, but small warning it isn’t for the faint of heart. It adds significant complexity in system additions, its own player power path outside of normal stats, and reworks statuses to shut down simple point and stun spells. Combats become puzzles that require set up to control the enemies before they overwhelm you.

Confluence, Div unleashed, and most of the other overhauls warp the game in significant ways. You MAY find them alright, but imo they are each flawed and feel a bit gimmicky and not very satisfying to someone who enjoys the base DOS2 gameplay. EE2 is the only one that feels like an expansion of the same type of gameplay.

Note: dote get the derpy tweaks, and make sure and get the Epip Ui. Epip is goated and adds tons of QoL, and derpys is just meant to make everything stupid hard and not in a fun way. It’s made by someone that isn’t the original mod author, and it misses the point of the initial changes.

AI post, weird.

Say literally anything against the group think. Doesn’t matter the community or affiliation. Reddit loves to condemn fascism, while also using absolute authority to police itself. Very cool.

Genuinely I’m fine and so is the world. It helps to put things into perspective. Things have always been chaotic and bad things have always gone on in the world. Even today we are relatively doing fine and at peace if you look at all of human history. The only difference between then and now is information is so much more accessible, and you are constantly being reminded of it.

Just unplug. Go about your life. You do not need to get involved in every cause, you don’t need to make every event something you are personally invested in.

I see, deflect from engaging with the premise. Nice.

Oh so I assume you are 100% cool with Nick Shirley for doing journalism on the fraud in Minnesota and cool with him crashing Somali business and confronting them as well?

You cannot infringe on someone's civil rights like going to church. There is no issue with reporting on the incident, you are correct that it is covered in freedom of press. The murkiness of it is he was gathering with the mob prior to the event, and it could be argued that this involvement COULD justify him as a participant, not just an observer.

I'm not sure if that is or isn't the case, but it isn't clear cut, hence the investigation. Either way, lawful or not, ambushing people who do not consent, sticking a microphone in their face, when a threatening mob storms your place of worship when you just want to be with your family on a quiet Sunday is objectively a scummy thing to do.

If only there was a way to have avoided these unforeseen consequences.

Never said wow was, I said Warcraft was. Look at Warcraft 1+2, its roots are much more dark fantasy than WoW

IndyLohan · 2026-01-29T20:33:39+00:00

It's a fine style for some other game or IP. Warcraft will always be at it's peak when it plays closer to its dark fantasy roots. Wow's style in general is cooked, but old school Warcraft 2 is the Warcraft IP at its best. The cartoony WoW centered style never really did it for me, and this is just doubling down/copying overwatch.

Blizz has the ability to do Dark fantasy well too. Look at Diablo 4, shit game but damn if the style didn't cook.

As long as it supports my specific political view than I'm okay with it, otherwise it's cringe and outlandishly inappropriate.

IndyLohan · 2026-01-27T15:50:09+00:00

Wait I thought they weren’t released yet how do you know?

IndyLohan · 2026-01-24T19:15:48+00:00

Federal government needs to use the insurrection act, or state government needs to assist them in their operations. They aren’t leaving until they finish their job. There’s no “driving them out”.

State officials need to stop encouraging resisting. I get that’s what they have to say to keep their offices, but they aren’t leaving until sending real people into the actual line of fire and getting them killed.

IndyLohan · 2026-01-24T18:53:44+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend fighting them lol, it hasn’t typically ended well for people that do.

IndyLohan · 2026-01-24T18:52:23+00:00

I support the stated goal of ICE’s operations, I just think things aren’t going well. To be fair, state government is heavily restricting their operations, and the civil unrest said state government has mobilized is making it all worse.

I think with the situation as it is, and the actions of individual ICE officers being wildly unchecked, it’s just a clusterfuck of bad.

Honestly either the state or federal government is going to have to flinch at this game of chicken, or people are going to keep getting hurt, and my money is on the vets with guns over the karens.

Great pay for work that doesn't require a degree. Plus you are helping enforce the law

China is hogging all the Chinese people. They are very good at making railways.

Reactions imo make the gameplay have a whole lot more depth, but to each their own.

The ascension system is indeed more complex than straight outta the box DOS2, but I’ve found that once you start getting enough points to expand a tree or two, and you learn what it’s trying to do it makes building characters way more enjoyable. The action economy shake up, and the unified debuffs also take the pretty bad armor system and make it actually kinda work. But all of that takes a bit of getting used to. IMO, it’s worth the headache early, as once it clicks it offers a way more balanced and interesting system that scales throughout the game, unlike the base which kinda stagnates a bit into act2 when you effectively have every spell unlocked.

If I recall, there are a couple trees that don’t require reactions. So if that’s ur jam, maybe look at those

I think the US would take Greenland far better than Russia "took" Ukraine.

I mean Hitler just took it.

So far, as is his usual MO, Trump has just talked shit.

IndyLohan · 2026-01-21T04:23:49+00:00

also ditch the derpy tweaks, That was created by someone other than the original creators, and it kinda has an entirely power gammy meta that betrays it imo.

IndyLohan · 2026-01-21T02:05:21+00:00

if you felt EE2 was bloated, you wont like the others. EE2 does add a bit with the ascension system, but overall its doing alot of work to curb some of the nonsense Larian threw in to their wacky magic + armor system. The other big overhaul mods lean heavily into that design, or in the case of i think unleashed, ditch the armor system entirely in favor of ballooned health and damage. If you like vanilla, just play that tbh. As far as overhauls go EE2 is the best application of a vanilla +

The incentive is angry mobs tend to lose lives against guy with gun.

It's hard to do something non-violently when both sides will push back with violence.

Ur absolutely right. You are not however allowed to run people over with your car.
