I think it would be best if they add more way to solve quest in the game

 

New NPCs are always a good idea although I couldn't imagine travelling around Amn without either Minsc or Jan around to add some humour.

The romance side of things has never really interested me but I suppose it might be an idea to have old flames of your romancee (if that's a word) showing up and challenging you to a fight for their love.

I'd like a few bosses, maybe some Irenicus minions. It always strikes me as strange that you don't have assassins out after the party the way you do in BG1.

 

I was disappointed that the world map was so big and yet there were only about 10 places to go! The forests they opened up in Chapter 6 was a joke... at least one had a worthy encounter.

So I'd like to see more accessible areas added to the world map. Some with plots/quests that could be triggered in Athkatla, some with "bosses."

 

I totally agree! The map for BG1 was packed full of areas, and even one or two that weren't able to fit on the map. Perhaps a mod should be made that fills in all that unused space on the SoA map. The probalem with that is, that areas are a bi*@# to make, and are fairly large in size...at least that's what I have found while trying to make a few areas.

 

I made a village and a sports field for BG2 once, but didn't implement them into the game, I might still have them though.

 

More NPC's, that's a must. And more items too, more random encounters and items...

 

Something to power up the Familiars in the game (ie. better thieving skills, more spells etc) and give them more dialouge options (try to eat boo, be humerous etc.).

Make more Familiars like have the mage try to put in different types of energy into them.

 

...like Pokèmons?

 

Its a thought, maybe if all your party members could have them and the corresponded to their class?

 

3rd edition rules! Go, Weimer, go!

 

How about tying together some of the loose threads in BG2?

For example, the mind flayers in the sewers...

We know that the Hidden was establishing a colony to take over Athkatla. And we know that the Lady Jysstev was involved... but in what way?
Did her connection to that artist who need the illithium have anything to do with it.. after all, using up all of the illithium for a sculpture would prevent the mace of disruption +2 from being formed... so perhaps Bodhi was tied into the plot?
And how did Jan's uncle know? Jaheira found that to be odd and so do I. What happened to him on his journey that changed him so? (I tossed a true sight on him just to be sure he wasn't something else)

There are lots of similar loose threads which practically beg for explanation.

 

I've been wanting to make a mod for some time now. I've made about 50 items and drawn out 3 new NPC's with stories & graphics, but sadly I lack the time and programming knowhow to pull it off. But here's what I wanted to do (and may still):

- 3 New Strongholds. A monestary for the Monk, a tribe for the Barbarian to fight for leadership of, and some kind of clan or order for Sorcerers.
- At least 1 new stronghold quest for every class. This new quest will be triggered within the existing strongholds, yielding some cool new legendary class-specific item. I figure, why should Paladins have all the fun w/ Carsomyr?
- 4 -6 New NPC's. All with interesting items & stories, some new romances.
- 100+ New Items. This one's pretty standard.
- Several new areas. Utilizing the mostly unused map space, plus travel to all new areas (Waterdeep, Kara Tur, or any other good suggestions).
- 2-3 New Kits for each class. Learning from the mistakes of "The Darkest Day," I want to make kits that are real and balanced, mostly derived from the real 2nd Edition kit books. This, rather than having over 70 kits, just for the sake of making 70 kits (ala TDD - any who've played it know what I mean). Some race-specific kits as well.
- Much more undead. I personally felt gipped a little on undead in BG2. I like em. I like killin' em deed. Well, even more deed. Plus more dungeons and keeps. Like them too.

Anyone interested? Maybe hypothetical, but maybe it would be cool to do a big SP combined effort mod? Ooooooooohh. May be hard to coordinate, but still...might be interesting.

 

Someone else mentioned this in a different topic

Have a quest where Boo turns into a Giant Space Hamster.

you could do it as a continuation of the Twisted Rune thing (the one with the Rougue stone thing) and after that have Boo work as Minsc's familiar.

then as a familiar he could have the ability to turn back into the Giant Space Hamster. Make it that you can ressurect him though
