I've just arrived in Bodhi's dungeon with the mods BP, SoS, TDD and EoU installed. On forehand i was very excited to try these whole new areas, items, and spells, but i am a little disappointed.
First of all, many of the creatures have gained special abilities, like mirror image, mislead, sanctuary and so on, and i am especially getting tired of the shadows. As soon as you get in their sigth they fire a lot of crap off against you, and they are really hard to beat. Also the undead has gained these annoying abilities. Secondly you gain less XP for each monster, and i find this a little lame, since the normal XP count was fine.
Third, the new areas are definately a piece of s***, its a copy from either IWD or BG1/2, and the quests are boring. Of course, i haven't tried it all yet, but what i've been going through until now, is lame.
The new kits are useless, but the items and spells are ok.

So, i consider changing back to all of the weidu mods, as i think they are better. Which do you prefer?

If you have gone through Throne of Bhaal before, definitely try it again with Ascension installed (with or without the harder encounters).

BP and SoS were rather ambitious mods, and I think I appreciated the effort put into them. However understandably the designers for BG2 vanilla are professional, while the modders aren't. Naturally the quests do seem pretty lame after repeating a number of them.

The improved monsters come from Tactics mod, which is partly implemented in BP. Personally I find some of them retarded as well, because they just turn things horribly tedious. Improved mind flayers are, seriously, infuriating.
