The Mod
"Aye, these weapons should earn me a dragon's horde now that I can actually
*sell* them here farther south - did you know they used to be naught but
earth-grade iron? Nay, it's true! Then, not less than a year ago,
Sheemish and I were awoken by this strange greenish glow emanating from
them - it was like each one was a torch, they were so bright!"
-- Conlan, Underrepresented Items Mod
The Underrepresented Items mod blatantly steals some items from
Icewind Dale 2 in order to flesh out
some item groups in BG2 that are, shall we say, a little light
for early game tactics (e.g., darts, maces, halberds). Note that unlike the
Item Upgrade Mod, we don't claim to be particularly
balanced here (although there haven't been any real balance complaints in
almost a year).
- Fun Items from Uncommon Families!

Coeur de Pierre elle-même. La pierre a dû leur faire quelque chose, c'est

ont massacreront une horde d'hommes-serpent. Hmmmph. Si seulement je
pouvais *voir* suffisamment bien pour viser. Et si j'avais la force de ma
jeunesse...
- Russian Translation by SERKOS (
Aerie.ru). Example:
-
Да, они
начали
биться
подобно
*сердцу* - подо
бно
Драгоценному
камню Сердца!
Он превратил
их в
мощнейшее
оружие. Я не
знаю, как, но
они
уничтожили
орду
змеелюдей в
два счета. Если
я мог бы
только иметь
острый глаз
для прицела.
И если бы у
меня была моя
прежняя
сила...

Download the Underrepresented Items Mod (version v6)
-
The EXE file above is a WinRAR self-extracting archive. Run it, and in the
Install to field put your BGII directory. That is normally:
C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA
If you do not like self-extracting EXEs, you can get a normal RAR version.
- Run the newly-extracted Setup-Underrep.EXE program that you
will now find in your BGII directory. Choose your language and then choose
which components to install. You may uninstall any or all of them later.
Unzip the ZIP file into your BGII directory. That is normally:
C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA
- If you like this sort of thing, you may also like the
Item Upgrade Mod.
- You may run Setup-Underrep.EXE again to uninstall any
component that you have already installed.
