What is this, exactly? I lost my original set of 5 discs and TotSC, so I just bid on this Original Saga on ebay.

Is this the same thing? Is it any different at all?

TIA

It's a GOTY style re-release of the game with the expansion and all official patches already included in a 3 CD set. You will still need to install any fan fixpacks, however.

What's GOTY?

Can I use tutu with it?

GOTY = Game of the Year

And yes, Tutu will install onto any version of BG 1.

i have that version, and it surely beast changing between 5 discs!

So does Full Install ;)

With TotSC installed, do you still need to swap disks?

if you do normal install, you need to swap between the three discs GOTY, not the 5 bg 1 discs

What if I do a full install?

If you do a full install of Original Saga, when you play the game you will only need disk 3 in the drive. When you install the game there is no 'full install' option, per se. Select 'custom install' and, when prompted, select everything..on every disk.. to be installed.
