Recommendation on mods with synergies?

[Pistolwhip707]

Hello all! I am going to commit to my first playthrough of TL2, but was wanting to have your guys' opinions first. So, I know I am going to have synergies installed, but I was wanting to hear what mods THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH SYNERGIES you would reccommend for me to download, as the amount of workshop mods is overwhelming. I am specifically looking for class, enemy, dungeon, weapon, and end-game content, as I would love to have a very comprehensive end-game once I hit max level. So let me know what you think I should include so that I can have the longest, best play through! Thank you for your contributions!

I recommend you to not play with any mod at all for your first TL2 playthrough.

After your first modless playthrough, you will be able to identify what elements of the game annoyed you, and then correct these with mods.

I'm saying this because everyone has different expectations (hence why people play with so many different mods) - and there is no "best" combination of mods. It all comes down to yourself and what you expect from it.

As for Synergies, you won't really appreciate the mod unless you play the vanilla version of TL2 first. Instead of being like "wow it changes so much the game", you will be more like "yeah it's a good ARPG".

The above statements are true.

However some players may wish to eat the cake and skip the salad... ^_^

I will provide a list of links to Synergies friendly mods below:

There are other mods but I can confirm that the above list works with Synergies.

I would recommend other mods besides these but I have yet to confirm that they work with Synergies.

There is a mod called 'zoomy' that I consider 100% essential since it fixes a serious "bug" in the basic gameplay of TL2, that greatly affects ranged classes (though you won't necessarily notice it till NG+ and beyond). You can read about the "bug" here: http://forums.runicgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=39962

zoomy allows you you to zoom the camera much further out than normal, and as a side effect, it fixes the bug above. It is definately compatible with Synergies. I would NOT play TL2 without this mod!!
