As for the mod's mechanics and code, I would also caution Vren against letting that be added without extreme oversight, since it's so bloated and buggy and many changes have been made to the mechanics to "fix" a perceived problem that doesn't properly weigh the consequences. Too many cooks. It's why I dropped the mod so long ago and haven't looked back. Vren's code isn't perfect and his releases aren't bugless, but I'm usually able to address them quickly and have no problems until the next one. And since he's open to suggestions on how to improve the mechanics, I'm optimistic about them getting better over time as well. I just think HE should be the one who implements any changes so that he retains full knowledge and control of the project. I'm his patron, not the mod's
As usual, my negative opinion of the mod is going to be interpreted as hate but that's not the case. It is just different, and I don't enjoy it and want to continue to have the choice to avoid it
