NPC mods, etc?

    Does anyone know if there are any decent mods for Torment floating around, apart from the fixpacks, that add anything new to the game? Classes, quests, NPCs, etc?

    I've played it through in almost every way and done just about everything in this game, and it'd be nice to find some new content (BG and BG2 seem to be loaded with stuff like that).

    I ask because I've so far come up with nothing - am I just looking in the wrong places, or was nothing ever really added to this game?

    Thanks.

    There's a couple of mods that "change" Annah and Morte, but they're more like easter eggs (one of them literally) than true mods.

    There's one mod that adds one quest (Candlestick Quest or something like this) in the Buried Village. There's another mod that adds a few armors to the game, and that's about it.

    Yeah, that's the stuff I know about.

    Meh... that's a shame. I wonder why Torment never got much modding attention?

    Everything that exists is on SP. If you've looked over everything here, you've seen it all.

    As for the lack of modding attention, it's supposedly a lot harder to mod because it's quite different from the other IE games, it has no console to easily test or fix things, and most importantly, not that many people (compared to the BG series) played it even at its height of popularity, let alone now, and modders as a rule don't mod games that people don't (re)play much...

    Or in other words: Planescape is one of those silent classics that masses never found. Perhaps it is a good thing too, considering that popularity usually kills creativity.

    I made a small Tweak Pack for Ps:T, which seems to somehow have found its way onto the SP modding page for PsT. You can get it here: http://www.gibberlings3.net/pst/

    Some users have issues with the Max HP component causing crashes; others use it without problems. We're not exactly sure why it happens, but if it happens to you, uninstalling that component will fix it.

    There is something big in development for PST but we're keeping it quiet for the moment. You can PM me if you really want information.
