Baldurs gate compilation

can you play BG1/2 in 1280x1024 using tutu or is the res still relatively limited?

Tutu lets you use the res of BG2, so with Tutu and the BG2 expansion, it goes up to 1600x1200. It was flaky on my X1900XT IIRC.

However, the Widescreen mod works well (looked only at PS:T and BG2).
 
Can you cancel the order? If so you can pick up the 'Forgotten Realms - Deluxe edition'.
Its got NWN + both expantions
Baldurs gate + expantion
Baldurs gate 2 + expantion
Icewind dale + expantion
Icewind dale 2.

I got it for £15 - You cant get better than this.

wow, it's £75 on that South American river place.
 
I never really got in to these. I always died too easily in BG1. I don't think I ever defeated this guy who you meet at the castle in the first town. I think he casts a spell and makes a mirror image of himself or something. Anyroad, I gave up after that. Quite tempted to give it another whirl now I'm older and wiser. LOL.
 
To be pedantic that was dual-classing wasn't it? And only available to Humans. Non-Human races could multi-class, where you were say a level 3 Fighter/Rogue and as you gained XP you advanced in both classes. With dual-classing you only advanced in one class but had the abilities of the old one (once you got past that level).

Man I want to play this game again now :)

Quite right :) I want to play again too,but I can't find my disks now :mad:
 
For BG1 I would recommend that you also use the mod BG1TUTU. This allows BG1 (+exp) to run in the enhanced BG2 engine so you get higher resolution graphics etc. This is much better than the clunky BG1 engine with a max res of 640x480. This is a very stable mod now and there is a "Easytutu" option for people who might be apprehensive about modding.


Did they fix the Bergost issue yet?
 
whats that about ive heard of it?

Same people that made baldurs gate, post nuclear war, rpg, isometric, turn based (only in combat) really good for dark humour, it's in futuristic 50's style so every thing is the old tube electronics, mutants etc. very good storey line, you can complete both games without really killing any one, if you make a smart talking character etc.

Really good :)

*just never ever give one of your party a burst weapon, then stand anywhere in front of them :o

Where is this? Disregard if it's a competitor of course.
 
Went to town today and picked up NW platinum which comes with the two expansion packs. So far really good, infact its got a better camera than NW2 but i heard they fixed it in the NW2 expansion.

**Spoiler**
Playing NW1, ive started it today and its brilliant. Ive done the tutorial, completed beggars nest, and the penensilia district that leaves me with the black market district and the docks:) Such a great game hopefully be spending some more time on it tomorrow. So far im lvl 5 fighter, seems good enough.

**Spoiler End**
 
Need help with NW1 im nearly lvl 6 and since like lvl 4 i think ive got an icon saying my strength is decreased. Ive rested so it aint temporary and i dont think its to do with any items im carrying.

ZOMBIES!!!

The zombies hit you with disease that does initial damage to either strength dex or con and after some 'incubation' period does another few points of stat damage. It never wears off, but it's still reversible. Go to a temple or drink a restoration potion (expensive at that stage). Actually, just use the stone of recall and talk to the healer at HQ, should sort you out.

Theres a variety of charms that give you immunity to those attacks or use a healer for your companion.

Why did you write 'like' between 'since' and 'lvl'?

Anyway. You need a potion or scroll (if your an arcane caster) of lesser restoration, this should get rid of it.
 
NW1- im just starting Act2 and what can i say, this is got to be the best rpg ive ever played. I think i prefer it to NW2 (even though i only got to act 3) and thats saying something.

My copy of NW2 Mask Of The Betrayer turned up yesturday, along with Icewind Dale Chronicles, the rest should arrive in the next couple days.
Im gonna play them in this order i think:
NW1 and the two expansion packs:D
NW2 and of course the expansion pack
BG1,2 and there expansions
Icewind Dale 1 and 2 and expansions
Fallout 1,2 and tactics

So i think that will last me until im ready to leave home to my new job:D
 
NWN is a game i keep going back to for the multiplayer aspect.

Ive kept hold of NWN2 as they are still patching/making expantions so it can only get better... i hope.
 
google "ultimate rpg archives" for more rpg goodness. Stonekeep :D played this not so long ago and was surprised but the graphics were still excellent...just drips atmosphere though.
 
Cheers for the tip on EasyTUTU for Baldur's Gate 1. This looks great.

I can't try this until I get home - but can you get it to run in widescreen?

I found a widescreen mod here: http://www.gibberlings3.net/widescreen/ so I'm wondering if this can be used in conjunction with EasyTUTU.

The Gibberlings forum is the best place to ask- I've read about people using both but I'm unsure of any side effects.
