I think that vanilla BGS games are all terribly unbalanced, and that it takes quite a few mods to straighten that out.

Supreme Magicka is highly configurable, and you could make magic much weaker then vanilla by changing a few settings. However, since vanilla has a fair number of spells that are nothing short of comedy, I don't see the point.

I agree that it gets unbalanced if you max out fighting AND magic, but again that is BGS' design, and must be fixed either by mods, or a decision to roleplay.

Also about fearsome magicka, do note that it requires pluggy, which is not currently (and likely never will be) stable. Fearsome's author is showing signs of life though (he updated the nexus page with a french translation) so he might be able to remove the dependency.

So I'm going to go with the current mod list unless anyone has any more rad suggestions? (side note, I'm intentionally using Rad instead of awesome now...)

I'll prob just dump integration and use supreme magika instead of fearsome magicka.

Thanks!

If you want any additional items or creatures in the leveled lists for your game, I started these threads not too long ago:

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1167983-integrated-items/
http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1172444-list-integrated-creatures/

They list mods that add items and creatures to the game, but only mods that do so via leveled lists (or in a few cases seamlessly added to dungeons), so you come across the items/creatures while adventuring and not just picking stuff up in shops or a chest or whatever.

Which reminds me I need to work on those lists a little bit, I kind of forgot about them lololol

Because you can never have too many weapons (especially when they're seamlessly integrated): http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35560
