Decided to do a full reinstall, and I know the order of installs and all, but had a few questions.

First, what folders I should save elsewhere so I can get back to what I had if at all possible? I grabbed copies of mpsave, sounds, portraits and characters. Are there any other things I should save?

Secondly, I have been thinking about this dialog.tlk thing. If that is the thing that is getting hosed with install/uninstall of mods, can I simply save a copy of it somewhere, and if I start getting weirdness, uninstall whatever mods I have, overwrite the dialog.tlk with virgin copy, reinstall the mods and go on about my business without having to do a full SoA/ToB install?

Thirdly, can I install the updates on things like the Tactics mod and Items mod as revisions come up, or do I have to wait until starting a new game? For instance, all I can think of that I changed from the time I started the last game was installing the more recent Items mod so that I had the "correct" melee icon for Azuredge. Could that have hosed the game?

Thanks!
