I installed a number of Baldur’s Gate 2 mods, which is always a bit of a worry. I think at some point I must have tripped something (which is unfortunate because I used all-Weidu mods which shouldn’t overwrite or destroy data). Many fo the game’s items seem to blank out any description. I assume the items still work properly, although I can’t be sure.

Any advice? Good, active modding boards which might know more?

Thought somebody else would have replied by now. I would’ve earlier, but have been a bit busy with the Bar Exam.

Anyways, I’ve had excellent luck with the mods and staff at the Gibberlings 3 website. [http://www.gibberlings3.net](http://www.gibberlings3.net). I’ve had a few install issues with mods and their discussion board has been unfailingly polite and helpful.

Their pub-crawl mod is a lot of fun. And you really owe it to yourself to play a party that includes their Kelsey mod. Kelsey’s a male sorceror NPC with gobs of dialogue choices and a few specific side-quests.

Another excellent site is the Pocket Plane [http://www.pocketplane.net](http://www.pocketplane.net). Their Unfinished Business mod really tries to tie up a lot of the loose plot ends from the original BG2 game.
