Valen Mod

I tell you, your Valen NPC mod is cool! Valen definitely rocks! Excellent ideas were put together, Valen most unique user-created NPC I've ever seen. So keep up good work!
Nice different NPC if you are evil.
I rather like Valen. ... I prefer a more powerful set of NPCs anyway. ...
Besides, it's nice to finally be able to turn that annoying level drain against my enemies! *chuckles* So, anyway, kudos to you for this mod.
I had a great time using her in my party. While others said she was weak, I have found her rather powerful. She leads the party in kills ( and thats with korgan with crom faeyr and the warrior archer kit for a lead character). Kudos to you on a great mod NPC.
I recently downloaded the Valen Mod, and I must say [that] I'm very impressed with the work. I liked how you did the whole sunlight enfeeblement, which made it a lot more realistic.
She is a mortal, silent and effective pet, just as any good undead should be! A very great work. A PNG that an evil party cannot miss to have the rigth respect.
A very vell put together NPC and MOD.
By the way just wanted to let you know that the Valen Mod is my favorite NPC
Mod I've used yet. Way to go!
I really like your mods. Great work!
Valen is a fun addition to any party. My first party with her was good.
Valen is awesome. Plain and simple. I really like the automatic "hide in shadows and try to find traps" thing you set up. Keep it up.
Valen ROCKS! Best NPC I've got, MORE!
This NPC addition is probably the best I have tried out of about 20 from other sites! Nice work! (It is not often I compliment work!)
OK, This is a great mod.
Wes has links to other mod authors as well.. it's generally accepted that his Sola and Valen mods are good to choose.
Awesome mod, AWESOME!
Great mod, BTW....IMHO the most interesting and fun NPC in the game.
Just to say this mod is really great. Valen is so COOL, and a really nice addition to my evil party. Evil female vampire hottie simply rocks!
I loved the Valen mod.
I've recently installed the mod for Valen and Sol...I just want to say Valen is the best NPC I've ever had, and possibly the most interesting.
Not to give anything away but Wes did a really great job with Valen, especially when you CAN'T control her and her basic instincts kick in.
I like the Valen mod a lot. Now adds some much needed spice.
Valen is great. She brings out the chaotic in chaotic-evil. It's a real shame Korgan wasn't more like her. The other good thing is that she also brings with her the true downside of CE, forcing you to deal with that little thing called a really bad reputation.
I especially love the extra dialogue with Valen, hunting valygar, Roger the Fence etc and it was great to walk into the Order of the Radiant Heart and be attacked by the paladins.
I really like what you've done with the VALEN mod, and it's a great evil add-on NPC.
I really I think Valen mod is your masterpiece. No villain has character such as this! Especially because Valen don't gloat over it and never has regrets! Well done!
I'm enjoying every step of the mod. The dialogues are great especially the ones she has with Lonk The Sane in SpellHold and with Saemon Havarian.

Ease-Of-Use Mod

First off, thank you for the time and effort that went into making not only the NPC, but the wonderful endless stacking of arrows and bolts, the lifting of the experience cap, and, especially, the ability to SHUT UP the announcer when exiting! I often felt, through the original Baldur's Gate and my first run-through of SOA, that all I did was inventory management. This makes it sooooo much easier!
I've used your ease of use and item upgrade utilities for BG2 and enjoyed them quite a bit
I stand in awe!
I just want to say how much I appreciate Westley Weimer's Ease of Use mod pack. I was reluctant to mod my game at first - nasty experience with DSoTSC some time ago - but I'm so impressed. So many niggling things fixed...wish I'd done it ages ago.
... especially the ease of use one. It did what it said on the packet: thanks!
I`ve been using your mods for Baldurs Gate 2 for some time, and I`m really impressed. These really bring some new experience to the game.
I would like to thank you for the fine work you did with the Ease-Of-Use Mod. It is simply brilliant.
I'm incredibly impressed, sir. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to make the "Ease of Use" utilities.
I have just installed and I am playing the easy mod. The changes are fantastique. The game is more playable and increases the fun factor in it.
I downloaded your Ease of use mod collection- it's very good! Plus I appreciate the small download size.

Items Upgrade Mod

Great stuff, BTW!! Helps keep the game feeling new...and what it's like to be on the receiving end of some enemies who actually prepare and react appropriately (I went for the upgrade because Bodhi and friends are slicing me up - 2 more False Dawns from the buckler are a godsend...)
I've also enjoyed the latest releases like the Item Upgrade mod. It's a great work!
Anyway, I really like the mod.
First, I just wanted to thank you for your work. You and the other mod makers have done some wonderful work, and it is kind of you to make it publicly available for free.
I really like the Acension and Item upgrade mods, I was stoked when Cromwell forged the Celestial Fury +5 for my Kensage. Bad guys, look out, I'm coming!
GREAT mod!
Great fun. I didn't find anything to be ridiculously overpowered. It often prevents you from having to do annoying switching between certain items (.Here comes a vampire, everyone put on their Helms of Charm Protection.). All in all, it.s kinda fun to have some incentive to collect some items that normally aren.t needed.
First off, great work. I've enjoyed using the Mod. The bottom line is: the upgrade IS fun.
The item upgrade mod made the game more enjoyable, as there was always a debate on my part whether to restrict myself to weapons that I knew to have higher-end magical versions, such as the bastard sword and two-handed sword, as opposed to using clubs or spears.
I liked your upgrades to BG2 - they make the game more challenging, for the most part.
This ROCKS! Fresh.
By the way I love the item upgrade mod. Makes playing new and exciting. Thank you very much.

Up to 50th Level Spells Mod

I don't see this as as the right way to go about it.
I am a hardened BG player. I got BGI in 1998 when it came out. I pre-ordered BGII half a year before it was out. This rules.
Feel free to submit yours.

Good enough? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
