So far it's pretty entertaining. I'm enjoying this combination of the 6 person team with the extra enemy actions. It's been keeping us on our toes for sure.

Alfira Joins the Party felt like a good fit too. She had the singing sword and everything, right up until we all hit the floor with that shocker lol. Good times though! I liked how she kept strumming for moral support even when the chips were down. I'd like to see more of those 'NPCs as companions' type mods to go along with this enhanced Tactician thing. Barcus and Isobel, Kagha and such, like a dozen maybe spread out across the acts. Might be fun, now that there's a scheme to make it work.

Anyhow, well done on those mods!

I think they're definitely my top favs along with the dragon wings and the black dyes hehe. Ace mods

I agree, TE is a first class.

But you can do bigger party without the TE mode, correct? For those of us who don't feel the need for any extra "challenge"?

Correct

The two mods are separate, and helpfully color coordinated - with the "Adjustable Party Limit" mod in Blue and "Tactician Enhanced" in Red - (like for the little icons/passive spells used to activate the mods in-game I mean) but they're also designed to work together.

In my view, playing BG3 in Honour Mode + Tactician Enhanced (with a Party of 6) is significantly more challenging than the Vanilla game with a Party of 4. This is because TE scales the difficulty according the set Party size limit, and using 6 achieves this by giving the enemies an extra Action per turn. This is much harder, because it changes just about every encounter and especially the boss fights, but it's also pretty elegant in it's simplicity and gives me exactly what I've wanted from this game since the EA first dropped.

I love the aesthetic going on here! It gives really me the oldschool vibes I'm after, that's for sure!

The flying Dins got their ass handed to them many times, even using Wings on my Dragonborn Durge. I knew it was going to be good when our first attempt nearly got upended by Goblin Fezzerk in the Bighted Village hehe.

It's easily the best mod combo thus far in my view! More like this - yes please!
