Thinking of playing BG2 again

[Pedrito]

other from what's already been mentioned, on Gibberlings Thrre there's a very good Widescreen Mod that lets you play the game at the resolution you like more. And it works for Torment, too

I'd also recommend tutu if you want to play BG1.

[Josquius]

The general concensus is that the second is better. Planescape is better than either, mind.

BG2 has more community content, also. BG1 is best with tutu.

Opposite.
Planescape is meh. Never finished that either, got to some impossible to figure out what to do next part.

So, to play with a 1680 x 1050 widescreen, I need both Tutu and a widescreen mod?

Thanks!

[Pedrito]

Tutu is needed only if you want to play BG with the BG2 engine; if you want to play BG2 with high resolutions you need only the widescreen mod

I started a game of BG+BG2 last year and got to Watcher's Keep in Throne of Bhaal...and then upgraded my computer and Vista cannot run the game.

I am going to plug in my old box and finish one of these days.  The game really holds up well.

How about extra content mods?
Are there any fanmade quests and/or areas that are wortwhile?

  How's that even possible?  The in-game journal holds your hand.

it happened.
Something to do with getting the blood of the hag's daughter. I got that then...nothing. No indication of what to do next.

Seriously?  There were tons of indications what to do next...didn't you know why you were getting the Hag's daughter's blood to begin with?

TUTU rocks and makes BG1 much funner to play. more kits, spells, items and the interface. ( ... except for the paperdolls.)

IMO, BG1 is also much easier to pick up and run with as a casual game. There's even a USB mod, so you can take it to work and play over lunch or conference calls because it's on your stick, not loaded on your company's computer. :

I have a little people party on the go in BG1. PC is a fighter/illusionist N Gnome, rest of the group is Finch (mod gnome librarian cleric, good, well done), Monty (F/T hobbit, evil), Kaigan (evil F Dwarf), Keslick (good F/C Dwarf) and Quayle (C/MU gnome c/n). Alora (T Hobbit happyhappygood) was in the party for a while too.

We have alignment issues. Kaigan and Keslick HATE eachother and came to blows. Kaigan was my tank, so he could have destroyed Keslick on his own, but I decided to side with the good guy as Kaigan complains too much.

I am now building Keslick as my new tank (with Kaigan's gear, sans axes). And will get Alora to rejoin until I find ... TIAX.

You are but grease stains on the wheel of time compared to Tiax!

Dont talk about PT. I always get the need to start up another game when peeps do. Damn they dont make em like that anymore.......I actually wept at the ending the first time I played it. Easily moved I guess.
