SoD has a lot of reactivity to class & race, being a dwarf cleric has opened a bunch of options so far.

Its usually trivial shit. As a wizard, I got to bypass a few quests using magic, but thats it.

Because Edwina is how a sensible transgender would be handled in the game's universe therefore it couldn't be used to push an agenda.
Try reinstalling, and install this BGT component too (you only installed Core)

The bigger problem is that the SoD controversy came after the EE controversy. In other words, it compounded on a problem that cuckdog was already facing. Just take a look at the stuff that their added NPCs come up with.
In the first EE, we had hated minority homo/bisexual superman level of sjw box ticking. By the second EE, we are talking literal black lesbian ninja vampire stronk wymmyn enslaving a white girl level of sjw box ticking.
And then came SoD, with a host of LGBTIWTFLOL! NPCs for your viewing pleasure, plus one maligned minority (goblin in this case) throw in. And on the top of that, we have the fucking devs twitting about how woke they are because of that character. Seriously, if it weren't for the dev twits, we would probably have dismissed her words as part of the typical absolutely and completely atrocious cuckdog writing. Instead, because of what the devs said outside of the game, everything she said was put in a different light and WHAM! "Hi! I'm a tranny!"
It could, they are just too stupid for it. Consider, Edwina is a man literally trapped in a woman's body, and no healing/transformative magic seems to be able to undo the curse. This is the one case representing the issues transgendered people have accurately within the setting. But instead they go for the lazy approach.

Caelar Argent is the embodiment of lawful stupid
There’s an encounter at the Neshkal mines with a Kobold shaman and 5 archers the fucker also summons a warg
Dead about 15 times
Personally I don't used the Darkside Kobolds component.
Also, did you go to the Gnoll Fortress first? Anyway it will be one of the hardest fights in the game since the party is so low level.
So, the extra Kobolds are a setting I turned on? I didn’t notice? Because I got past the shaman fight. Now I have to fight the Orc cleric, 6 Skelton’s and 10 kobolts. It’s immpossible so far.There’s an encounter at the Neshkal mines with a Kobold shaman and 5 archers the fucker also summons a warg

Does Darkside Kobolds increase their stats, because I use Beserker on two of my fighter with proficiency in long swords and they can barely touch Kobolds.

tbh SoD is decent for what it is. It's sort of like a mini IWD-style intermission between BG and BG2. Lowest points are when it tries to take its own story seriously. Highlights are the dungeons, items, and combat.The new environments look really good, too. Outdoors areas are smaller but less empty.
The last fight on the hardest difficulty ranks among the hardest BG1 or 2 fights with SCS installed IMO. In general, the difficulty curve is about the same as SCS, the difficulty slider isn't a flat "add more HP/damage" slider but smarter AI/more enemies.
How hard is it to pay one of the hundreds of various D&D campaign writers to write you a proper campaign? Don't these guys work for ramen noodles?

p.s. fuck corwin, fucking cunt wanted me to hang even if I wasn't guilty after all that I did
Don't recall. But some of the regular kobolds were replaces with far tougher types. Shamans are lvl 5 I think.
Even the vanilla Commandos were bad enough, but you could assassinate most of them before they could fire if you were good/patient enough.

If only it was possible to save, try making the armor and loading back if you weren't satisfied with it.
I tried to rest and spend time doing nothing but that didn’t work.
The blacksmith is supposed to give you the armor immediately. I'd repeat myself about mods, but what's the point.
All mods have an order of installation, which you can read about in their readme files, but the info is not always there or not always accurate. It takes me about 8 hours to set things up whenever I decide to play, and it doesn't always work and I have to go back and reinstall in a different order sometimes.
There's a forum where people specialize on bg mods and can actually tell you where you fucked up, but I forget the name.

The Gibberlings Three forum I think it's called.
He says I’ll give you the armor in a couple days, unless one of my mods is supposed to make him give it away immediately.

No.
3 days if you pay 4,000 or 1 day if you pay 6,000.

Ankheg shell armor is easily the best armor in the entire game(BG1), I used it all the way to the end of SoD on my cleric/fighter.
It has incredibly low AC but isn't magical therefore you can wear a +2 AC jewelry with it making it outclass anything else.
BTW, you can pick up a set of it in Nashkel on the farm in the bottom left. It's hidden there somewhere.
