Mods
iiItem
The iiItem Mod adds several dozen new items to the game, concentrating on lesser known item types (such as potions, bracers, arrows etc). The mod does not (currently) add any upgradable items, item parts or smiths. Game balance has been taken into account during item creation, and over-powered items have (hopefully) been avoided - there are no +5 katanas!

iiKeyNames
Key Names is a mod for Baldur's Gate 2 that updates the names of one-off keys after they have been used to unlock their specific door to make it clearer in the inventory which items are still required.

iiLearnThroughUse
Learn Through Use attempts to add a small element of realism to the game. Rather than offering weapon proficiency points for weapon types the player may never have even seen, let alone used, Learn Through Use weapon proficiencies for weapon types the player is actually using. It makes sense - the more you hits an opponent with a weapon, the better you get at doing it! Each weapon type is handled individually (e.g. daggers and katana's are handled separately, as in the original game) and all items retain their assigned weapon proficiencies (e.g. The Flail of Ages still uses the Flail proficiency).

iiNoBanter
No Banter is a small mod for Baldur's Gate 2 that disables party banter. While party banter can be immersive and revealing, it can also break immersion. How likely is it that party members would begin a banter while exploring a dark forbidding dungeon? Or while sneaking through an enemy stronghold? Or while disguised in a drow stronghold?

iiProjectileRetrieval
Projectile Retrieval has a simple aim - to allow the player to retrieve used projectiles. Primarily intended for arrows (though bolts and bullets are supported), the fact that projectile can be retrieved from the environment after use increases the realism of the game (and besides, it's cool to pick up your spent arrows from the bodies of your fallen enemies).
