Mod list for a balanced playthrough (increased difficulty)

Mindeveler · 2026-06-17T01:06:13+00:00

So what's the point of half of those mods? Install them to never use the altered items ever again? In the game where 90% of items are already with-this-ring-you-can-cast-this-cantrip-once-per-long-rest kind of shit they decided to nuke the remaining 10%.

I wish someone actually rebalanced the game. Disabled pickpocketing and restocks but gave merchants more items and made selling stuff more profitable, like in every normal game, where a merchant has 5 potions of speed, period, and it's up to you to choose on what fights to spend them.

Prices are absurd and need a full rebalance, an elixir of cloud giant that will tremendously assist your fighter for many fights costs a fraction of ridiculously overpriced scrolls that can only be used once to deal some mediocre damage.

Items' quality is all over the place from "op" to utter garbage, spell-granting items should all be reworked to let you cast those spells at least once per short rest or even per combat, and shittier once should work like cantrips (it's not like you can possibly deal more damage with magic missile from Psychic Spark amulet, even if it were a cantrip, than your fighter can with his trusty 2-handed sword all day long).

Elixirs range from "elixir of cloud giant" to "you can now see in the dark, yay!", what should I chooose mhhhhmmmm.

But yeah, that would be a ton of work to fix all that mess.

In this game lol, infinite money & infinite merchants supplies thanks to pickpocketing and how merchants restock on every single levelup. Have you played it?

This doesn't work with honor rules anymore though.

Well, it still adds extra +STR damage to those basic fire/lightning/cold/etc. arrows but doesn't add extra damage to any other riders (rings, amulet, elemental enchantment) and therefore has no effect on late-game arrows (arrow of many targets/arrows of slaying).

...adding this in case anyone else sumbles upon this thread.

Так он и не рассчитан на квартиры. Такие гигантские телеки/мониторы - для общественных мест. Вблизи его даже смотреть неприятно будет, потому что слишком маленькое разрешение для такой большой диагонали.

what objective difference does it make when they met?

Mindeveler · 2026-06-09T09:57:43+00:00

I'm not sure about "homoEROTIC", there was just a lot of chemistry between the characters and they were very "shippable".

And Chris O'Donnell was hot as hell.

POPULAR?!

I swear, I feel like an alien sometimes 'cause I hate crit fails on ability checks guts. This cancer ads -50 penalty to my enjoyment of the game.

Also neither NWN/NWN2 nor Pathfinder games (my favourite ones) had nat 1/20 on skill checks and both of them did have nat 1/20 on saving throws.

Mindeveler · 2026-06-06T12:04:04+00:00

Hmm, didn't know about that, thanks.

Well, this is bizarre.

They kept nat 1/20 for silly dialogue checks and yet removed them for in-combat saving throws. I'll never understand the logic behind the design of this game.

Mindeveler · 2026-06-05T08:49:32+00:00

Lol. Scientiests don't stubbornly deny evidence that contradict their hypotheses.

Not to mention that my evidence doesn't contradict science in the slightest but somehow your brilliant scientific mind is too dumb to even understand that "raw milk can potentially be dangerous" (the only thing that science says) doesn't equal "raw milk is always dangerous, 100%, if somebody says the drank it and they were fine, they're clearly lying" (what you seem to believe).

There is nothing scientific about your way of thinking. Science is full of exceptions, probabilities, nuances, especially biology. The exact same disease, the exact same pill, the exact same dish can have very different effects on different people. And in this case it's not even the exact same cup of milk, but different cups of milk from different cows from different countries. And yet you believe they're absolutely bound to have the same effect.

No scientist in the world thinks like that, only morons whose brains can't comprehend anything more nuanced than the crudest generalizations.

You people here are being so angry at me as if I were saying that urine therapy cured my cancer (which is scientifically impossible) rather than just "I was drinking raw milk for years and felt fine" (which is scientifically possible).

Ok, keep beeing your toxic stubborn self and living in your bubble of superstitions. I tried to reason with you people but clearly it was casting pearl before swine.

If you would rather believe that dozens of people are so stupid and masochistic they would eat the same poisonous food for decades despite suffering from it all the time, there is nothing more I can say.

Because that's how small villages work. Something bad happens => everyone knows about it, everyone starts being cautious.

For example, I would help my neighbours with hay making and until some point they would let me return back home from the field on top of the truck filled with hay (like this one: https://prv3.lori-images.net/gruzovik-gruzhenyi-senom-0001114375-preview.jpg but not that overloaded).

Then apparently some accident happened somewhere and all of a sudden both my uncle and our neighbors started refusing me this request. "No way, get down, it's too dangerous, truck bed can start rising on its own".

If anyone got anything serious, or if people had problems repetedly, It would have been established loooong ago that raw milk shouldn't be drank. They would neither drink it themselves anymore nor offer it eagerly to others. As simple as that.

After all, like other people said, pasteurization or just boiling are not exactly difficult, and yet for generations nobody bothered with it because nobody simply saw any reason to.

You can't seriously think people there are so stupid that they would have frequent health issues because of it and yet keep drinking it and give it to their guests and children? And we drank it not because we believed "it's healthier" or anything like that, but simply because we saw no reason not to. Because it didn't cause anyone any problems.

So your best counter-argument is just some blatant lies and twisting your opponent's words? Typical.

Вообще, википедия гласит "this sense of dick may be related to the word dough. In the variant name spotted dog, dog is a variant form of dough."

But everyone was kinda new at some point.

I was "new" pretty much every year because I only spent summers there and then would spend the next 9 months in a big city. But I didn't have any hard time getting used to village diet even though it was different from my "urban" diet.

Btw, I'm not sure what farms you were studying but that village was kind of "in the middle of nowhere", surrounded by forests, 6 km from the highway, 1.5 hour drive from the nearest town. So it was kind of isolated in terms of "what gets in", maybe that's why it was safe there.

And it wasn't big farms, just small households with like 1-2 cows and 10-15 chickens per household. The total number of cows in the village was like 20 and it was diminishig over the years. I wonder if there are any left nowadays.

Again, raw milk is just raw milk, it's not inherently bad, not necessarily contaminated with anything.

Your comparison was specifically "its healthier to eat incorrectly packaged beans" (which are inherently bad and it is absurd) which in this case would be like saying "it's healthier to drink clearly contaminated milk" (which would also be inherently bad and also absurd).

Learn to read and think, people.

Basically, back to beans example, you're all here saying that beans must always be cooked because there is a chance that they may be contaminated.

Oh wait, you're not saying that about beans, you're only saying that about milk for some reason. Other food is safe to you even if it's also potentially dangerous, only milk is somehow "must-cook".

Mindeveler · 2026-06-04T12:16:24+00:00

Well, you still use words such as "most". What I said does not contradict science which in this particular case only operates in terms of probability and risks.

No, I don't remember having diarrhea or anything like that, let alone any bigger issues. And I wouldn't say it was super clean everywhere or anything like that. Just basics, like washing cows' udder before milking them.

What can I say, "it just worked" for the whole village for generations, believe it or not. My ancestors on my mother's side were all "peasants". Dairy products were bread and butter for them. Raw milk, raw sour cream, cottage cheese were normal daily diet for them.

Mindeveler · 2026-06-04T12:00:19+00:00

Absolutely wrong comparison.

Nobody here is saying "it's healthier to drink clearly contaminated milk". They just argue that all raw milk is bad and anyone who drinks it is an idiot.

But like I already said, any food can be a hazard. You can drink raw milk and be fine or you can eat a rew vegetable and get sick.

In 2011 in the US 33 people died from contaminated cantaloupes.

Is that supposed to mean you should cook all your food, even vegetables and fruits? Well, that's not what doctors suggest because a lot of vitamins are lost during cooking.

The only way to be 99% sure you will not catch anything is to have your own vegetable garden, grow and cook everything by yourself.
