Mazzle's KnowEasier Noesis debugger (KEN)

Noesis is the system that BG3 uses for its user interface.  This mod lets you inspect Noesis's current internal data structures in-game.

This mod is only useful to modders who are working with Noesis.  If you don't know what that is, you don't need this.  

This mod requires ScriptExtender.
