    The question's pretty simple. I just need an answer to know if it would be worth spending my time making tools to mod the game.

    Modding sure, making tools less sure.

    Yes. I'd like more quests. Prehaps a new area. I love the game but it is limited. Wish I knew how to write mods.

    I'd sooner see more mods for BG1 and 2 instead of IWD2. BG1 and 2 were great games, IWD2 was just okay.

    I'm currently writing a Total Conversion Mod for BG2, you can find it here: http://www.teambg.net/forum/?c=36

    As for the BG1 mods: There is one that may cause your interest: http://www.teambg.net/forum/?c=34
    The name's Fields of the Dead and the project's leader is Echon, a modder in good standing and of great knowledge. Be sure to check it out.

    Let's not get too off topic and stick to IWD2, shall we?

    Yes adding new side plots would increase the games re playability substantially, especially if they are based on the stronghold concepts as in BG2, based on different characters that could be recruited along the way.

    Since there are a number of the ten-towns that have never been explored there's plenty of food for thought.

    Or mods to provide a second pathway bypassing the area's many people do not like such as fell wood or the time loop level 4 of dragons eye.

    I am sure many of the people on the site would enjoy participating in writing new story lines, defining new characters or beta testing the mods.

    Bypasing Fell Wood or the time loop would make the game even shorter. A mod would have to add other quests which would be nice. The storyline would still be weak. Don't misunderstand me. I liked IWDII but.....(fill in your own comments),

    Sorry Nikia I was not sugesting bypasing fell wood I was sugesting a mod that bypassed it, the mod could take you through a new unexplored pathway, same could be done for any of the other areas people dont like,
