Played through the Planar Sphere mod

• The crafting introduction dialogues don't work properly. The dwarves give a response as if you are in the middle of the mod's main quest, before you start that. This is due to a ""0 or !<7" condition in PSDWARF1.dlg, which should be >6.

• After the big boss battle, Teos spawns in the room north of the control room. Asking you to kill Belle in a small epilogue quest. But Belle only ever spawns in when you just finished with the boss and then teleports away. There isn't any followup that spawns her back in.

• During that same quest, if you tell Teos you're not going to get involved, that sets a variable which blocks the reconciliation path.
  If you first tell Teos "Forget it" (sets psTurnedDownTeosToggle to 1),
  then talk to him again and imply him you'll help him with "Why do I always end up doing things like this"
  then spawn in Belle and convince her Teos wants to apologize
  then back to Teos to try convince him to apologize... he gives "did you reconsider" response, without any options to talk about apologizxing, because psTurnedDownTeosToggle is still set to 1
  This quest only works out if you never use the "Forget it" dialog option.
  But after manually spawning in Belle, and carefully navigating the dialogues I was able to finish this little epilogue quest too.

• I didn't notice any real issues for either. Though the CtB cowled wizard quest, for female characters, has their wizard spawn in exactly the same location in Den of the Seven Vales as the red wizard from the planar sphere mod. Not an actual issue but sort of funny, I guess they are friends :)

• Oh and I just remembered, there was one more issue.
  In the optional battle in the Temple District, the one with the huge cutscene... the two mages have a forcespell timestop in their scripts, without any limits. So they very often just spam it, for ever. You need to get lucky with RNG so they do some other spells for a bit so you can get some hits in. After like 10 attempts, mostly spend watching timestop spam, I ended up removing the spell from their script.
  I am not using SCS or any other combat AI mod, they just use their default ps demilich script. And I like the over the top difficult battles, but get locked in time for 5 minutes and then die from all their attack spells all hitting at once, was a bit to much.
