Oh, one last thing.
I -do- strongly recommend the Accelerated Banter tweak in the Tweak Pack. Even if you don't download any other tweak, I'd download that one. For one, it now disables the engine's method of creating banters which was prone to causing some serious bugs, such as occasionally being unable to talk to party members. Secondly, without it, you'll miss out on a LOT of content. In my own testing, in a long and thorough game I usually never got to see more than 12-20 banters in a given game, and it was usually the -same- 12 every game. There are 78 original ones, and 15 more restored in Unfinished Business if you decide to install that as well. It almost went into the Fixpack actually, but I decided not to because of one thing I couldn't do anything about - banters now pop up based on game time instead of real time. If it wasn't for that change, it -would- be in the Fixpack.
Other than that, are there any other tweaks safe for "purists" to use? Eh. I don't think there's anything wrong at all with the Stackable Items tweak, the game has enough inventory control issues even with it to give the sort of person who enjoys that sort of thing their fill. And Explore City Areas doesn't make the game any easier, it just makes you able to enjoy some of the beautiful area artwork that you can't fully uncover by exploration. Especially nice with thebigg's widescreen mod, and ghostdog's widescreen UI mod.
I personally really like the Save Nordom! tweak, so that you can enjoy all the party PC's content, but no, it's not for purists. I actually had to write some dialogue especially for it, so...
