I feel like you'd rapidly cross a point of having changed so many rules, you just have a different game with the same story. Which is maybe fine, but at that point maybe just make your own story too.
I'd end up changing like every piece of the rules system if I tried to make it more to my taste.

Yeah, that was a large part of the reason why none of them worked out. You’d need to redesign every encounter to fit with and be balanced for the new rules, and at that point anyone with the required skillset might as well make their own game. I’d end up changing like every piece of the rules system if I tried to make it more to my taste. Fortunately someone already did a lot of the work for you. That’s one of the mods I consider mandatory for every playthrough and lets you freely tweak a tons of rules. (@mcforest@feddit.org: this site and its mods might be worth checking out before you move on to BG2, though the big one (the fixpack) is already integrated into the Enhanced Editions.)
