Hi there!

I played some amount of BG way back when with the Tutu mod and I was hoping y'all could help with some questions because I understand that EE integrated some, but not all of the Tutu stuff. Most of my questions are about Imoen and dual classing her.

1. Does my build of Imoen in BG1 impact her in BG2, or does that just not carry over?

2. With that in mind, how late can I DC her to mage and still have her be my rogue coverage?

3. I recall much of the first half of BG2 being "Lose Imoen, have a bunch of sidequests under the guise of raise money to get Imoen, get locked away for a while, come back to the primary map and continue." With that in mind, is there any downside for going after Imoen relatively early so I get her in my party? Like will I miss out on XP permanently?

Now non Imoen questions:

1. I know the Beamdog expansion is controversion, but is it just narratively annoying or should I skip it entirely?

2. Assuming I go Berserker/cleric multiclass (with an outside mod I need to research, as I refuse to use blunt weapons) will I have enough cleric levels to generally cover mandatory stuff like restoration?

I love the concept of this mod but borough construction is really confusing to me. Like assuming I get a great build early where I can get 3-4 districts all around a borough that just gives me no reason to build later ones. The idea of building all 3 in one city feels like a preposterous shape of layout (and population) to achieve.

Considering giving this mod a try but had a question. Do the Urban borough districts take up a district slot from a population perspective? If so, it feels like actually using them would keep you from being able to build the districts that actually benefit from them (and it would be a huge buff to Germany lol)
