1. Answers for the Questions of the Week
- New Questions of the Week: For those of you that have experience with modding communities of other games (aside from the Infinity Engine), how does the IE Modding Community compare to them? Is the IE Modding Community more closely-knit or less closely-knit (i.e. sharing, working together, helping each other, co-existing peacefully)? How do the newbies compare to other communities? How much work gets done, and what is the quality of work, in other communities? Are the modding tools easy to use and in abundance so that practically anyone can start modding? Submit your answers!

I think attributing mods with bad gameplay to old tools is far-fetched. Beyond that, an okay episode. I do not recall if you did it as much as you used to, but I do not see the need to spell out every URL to every modding community and mod homepage. Most, if not all, of the IER listeners are likely to know where things are located. And do continue with the interviews, I like those.

Would love to see you guys resurrect the Darkside Tutu conversion - died back in May 2005 - Blood Raven got no support - would really be the ultimate BG1 game if both conversions were compatible…your press might be able to get it going again
Point taken, Echon, and in fact, you are not the only person to tell me to chill out with the URL’s. I’ll work on this for future episodes. One thing I don’t want to do is miss giving credit where credit is due.
Darkside Tutu, eh Aramil? I’m not sure how much me mentioning it on the show would help Blood Raven, but I’ll consider it. Truthfully, the best support Blood Raven could get would be seeing more posts about it on the CoM forums. I reckon she reads those more than listening to IER.
Submitted my answer.
Thanks, discharger, I appreciate it.
