BEAST MODE 2k17

A merge of 41 mods designed to expand your vanilla TL2 experience with extra content and minor tweaks to game balance and aesthetic. Included are the 3 original TL1 classes, more maps, weapons, armor, spells, pets, and monsters. Originally created as a personal mod to introduce a couple of best friends to a BEAST vTL2 experience, this mod merge was compiled with the focus of expanding upon the vanilla experience while maintaining balance and the core presentation. Some mods have been modified from their original version and changes are noted. All the most recent versions of the mods through 2016 that were available on Steam were used. Inspiration for this effort can be credited to danielmratlif21 & steffire3’s Better Vanilla Game mod merge, rt’s compilations, Torchmodders and many others.

I did my best to select mods that were as complete, balanced and bug free as possible. Mods have been merged on a much more integrated level than using the modlauncher to ensure optimum compatibility. BEAST MODE is most likely NOT Synergies compatible and is best played on Veteran and up difficulties. Co-op is thus far functional. *Permission was not granted for use of any of these mods. Please contact me if you are the mod's original creator and wish to have your mod removed from the list.

Thank you to Runic Games, all the mod creators, the TL2 community, and monsewerat. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Note: Please back up your save if you are loading off previous BEAST MODE version (18). I have not been able to restore characters started using previous BEAST MODE version (18). I tried to resolve this issue using steps from this forum post: http://forums.runicgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=35698 but have not been successful. I sincerely apologize to those who cannot recover their characters but I hope the addition of Abysm Bottomless Dungeon will make up for this. Thank you for your interest in BEAST MODE. Please rate! =)
