||
| Unique Artifacts is a mod for BG1/BG2, designed to **reduce** the number of magical items by **removing duplicates** of those that are supposed to be unique **according to the lore** (their descriptions). That includes items such as Ring of Fire resistance, Boots of Speed, etc. | ||
|
|
||
| It will work with BG2:ToB, BGT, or EE games. Starting a new game is required. | ||

||
| ## Detailed description | ||
|
|
||
| Ever felt that BG2 is overloaded with magical items? Then this it a mod for you. It will **reduce** the amount of magical gear in the game. | ||
|
|
||
| In BG1/2, many magical items are implied to be unique (according to description). However, the party gets multiple copies of them. That includes Boots of Speed, Kondar sword, Ring of Protection +2, etc. | ||
| It kind of breaks immersion, and affects balance, too. The issue is further aggravated by mods, both large and small, which add more and more items. | ||
|
|
||
| Unique Artifacts aims to resolve this issue by removing all duplicates from the game. The party will still be able to get every item, but only in a single instance. | ||
|
|
||
| To summarize, | ||
| - What **does** it do: for a limited set of items from original game, ensure that the party gets no more than a single copy of each item. | ||
| - What it **does not** do: | ||
| - It doesn't remove items from the game completely. Each item will still be available, but in a single instance. | ||
| - It doesn't remove new (original) items introduced by other mods. Only the items from the original game are affected. | ||
|
|
||
| When choosing which copy exactly is "canon" and available to the party, UA generally picks a less accessible one. For example, in the original game, the party is able to obtain two Rings of Wizardry: one from Mage stronghold, and another one from the final fight in Jaheira romance. Only the stronghold one is left in game. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Components | ||
| ### Allow non-unique Amulet of Protection +1 | ||
| Excludes AoP +1 from core overhaul and fixes its description. | ||
| ### Allow non-unique Ring of Protection +2 and Cloak of Protection +2 | ||
| Excludes RoP +2 and CoP +2 from core overhaul and fixes their descriptions. | ||
| ### Allow non-unique Boots of Speed | ||
| Excludes Boots of Speed from core overhaul and fixes their description. | ||
| ### Core | ||
| #### Strict | ||
| This option un-duplicates items that are explicitly described as unique. Examples: Necklace of Missiles, Robe of Vecna, Boots of Speed (if the component excluding them isn't installed previously). | ||
| #### Expanded | ||
| This option in addition to the above processes a number of magical items that are not likely to be possessed by a single party of adventurers in multiple copies. Examples: Boots of Stealth, Ring of Fire control. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Installation | ||
| - Download uniqueartifacts.zip from the [latest release page](https://github.com/burner1024/bg2-uniqueartifacts/releases/latest) | ||
| - Unzip it | ||
| - Move "uniqueartifacts" and "setup-uniqueartifacts.exe" into the game directory | ||
| - Launch setup-uniqueartifacts.exe | ||
|
|
||
| ## FAQ | ||
|
|
||
| ### What about BGT? | ||
| In BGT, each part of the game is treated separately. Meaning you'll be able to get Boots of Speed once in BG1, once in BG2, and once in ToB. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Compatibility | ||
| Known incompatibilies (conceptual): | ||
| - Item revisions | ||
|
|
||
| ### Installation order | ||
| Install UA after any mods that add new content (areas, creatures, quests, etc). If you also use Item Randomiser, **install UA first, then IR**. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Which items are affected? | ||
| In original game, all items. In the mods, it's mostly magical jewelry and clothes. For the full list, see [strict.txt](/uniqueartifacts/items/strict.txt) or [expanded.txt](/uniqueartifacts/items/expanded.txt). | ||
|
|
||
| ### How to skip an item? | ||
| Open uniqueartifacts/items/strict.txt (or expanded.txt), find your item, delete the whole line. (There might be several lines with that item, then delete all of them.) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Known issues | ||
| - Players starting a **new** ToB game might miss a Ring of Invisibility. | ||
| - When both Weimer's Item Upgrade and Daulmanakan's More work for Cromwell are installed, and "Allow non-unique RoP+2" is not, Cromwell won't be offer to create Ring of Perseverance +1 (+2 is still fine). | ||
|
|
||
| ## Changelog | ||
| - Version 6 | ||
| - EE, BG1 compatible | ||
| - Delete items from creatures instead of replacing | ||
| - Version 5 | ||
| - Fixed bug when some Strict items would not be available on Expanded setting | ||

| - Weidu 238 | ||
