On the other hand, I've played through ToB several times and never even bothered to install a single Baldurdash patch in my entire life. And no, I haven't encountered any serious problems whatsoever in all my runs through the game. So I doubt it's the end of the world if you wouldn't install the Baldurdash fix packs first... It's probably the smartest thing to do, but the game doesn't become unplayable without it.
