"These game conversion mods never get completed for one reason or another whether they are made in NWN's 1, 2 or Dragon Age."
One problem with the Icewind Gate 2 mod, (Icewind Dale 2, Third Edition, conversion of BG 2) that I found was: a lot of the BG2 functions simply did not occur in the Icewind Dale 2 game. In a lot of areas you needed to use workarounds. Beta version was not so great but Nameless One's Delta version was playable.
Generally conversions need to be done by a program, I don't know if the conversions you mentioned did this or not. Doing it manually is just way too slow, enthusiasm will wear out quicker.
