Help with mods; improved thoughness and NPCs

Post by Thrifalas »

I was planning to play through the game again, this time with the most usual mods installed that will enhance the gameplay and make it all pretty much harder. I'm looking for the regular though mods and want some *real* challenges this time.

I was thinking something like:
  • Tactics
  • Ascension
  • Solaufein
And then, since the game's all modded anyway, I might as well add some interesting chars to help me with these quests. So far I've found, that seems interesting:
  • Solaufein (Since I'll need him for the though challenges anyway. I just hate that he's Chaotic Good though. He's so N-O-T CG in the game.)
  • Valen (Always wanted to play with her. Vampire style and awesome portrait)
  • Chloe
  • Yasraena (Awesome portrait)
  • Tashia
So, my questions is as follows:
  • Am I missing any mod that SHOULD be there if I'm looking for balanced improved challenges or NPC's that's worth to play with?
  • Are any of these mods overpowered (I've heard that both Sola, Chloe and Valen will become ridiculously overpowered in the end) and should be removed so it doesn't spoil my playthrough?
  • Is there anything specific I should know about these mods? The order to install them, any known bugs/they won't work together or so.
  • Pretty much everything else considering a playthrough with these mods. Keep in mind that I've only tried Tactics and Valen before, for a short duration of time, so please keep me informed about stuff I should know about. Kinda. :)
Thanks in advance!

Take a look through this thread. Also, check out the Balanced Mods sticky thread.
