    It's been a long time since I played without identified items. Do you get xp for identifying items?

    What is a "fate spirit"? The tweaks asks if you want "improved fate spirit summoning"????

    Which tweak are you referring to? I think the spirit that summons you to your pocket plane after you defeat each one of the five is normally referred to as the fate spirit, so I assume this summoning to your pocket plane is somehow improved. No clue how, though.

    Identifying doesn't give any experience, it's just make work to use your lvl 1 spells on, or to pay a shop to identify for you.

    I'm referring to the bg2_tweaks-v16 for the BG2EE version. It has a ton of options to change if you want to.

    No exp for identifying items, only for scribing spells to your spellbook as far as i know.
    Also, you can click the headers of each section on the bg2 tweaks page on the gibberlings3 website for an in-depth explanation :

    Improved Fate Spirit Summoning
    BG2, BGT only; Requires Throne of Bhaal
    This component aims to make the Fate Spirit summoning a bit more consistent within the game world. An extra condition is added for summoning NPCs from the Fate Spirit in the pocket plane: you must have met them sometime in your travels in the Shadows of Amn portion of the game. If you never meet Mazzy, for example, you will not have the option to summon her. Like the existing Yoshimo option, the Fate Spirit will now comment appropriately if an NPC is dead and beyond its reach. This component will not affect games started in Throne of Bhaal, only games where you are continuing from the end of Shadows of Amn.
