To get rid of the cutscenes in BG2, you have to go into the Baldur.ini file in the C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII_SoA folder and add a line under the [Program Options] area that says:

Disable Movies=1

then save the file and restart. Voila...no more annoying cut scenes, although the necessary chapter cut scenes still play (the ones with Irenicus and Imoen, et al). The "letter box" movie scenes that would crash my computer, including the ridiculous sleep scene and the daytime/nighttime scenes were all gone. [img]smile.gif[/img]

BG1: worst thing was the respawn when you reload, so if you needed to quit to go somewhere or go to sleep and try again the next day, you were immediately swamped with monsters! It takes about a full hour to clear out an entire map area; what do they expect, for you not to sleep or have to run errands? Gheez! I can understand penalizing people for doing multiple reloads but there's a limit to just about everything.

Of course, that could be used to your advantage as well if you were looking to rack up mondo XP...clear out a map area, save, reload, clear out the map area, save, reload,...until you were about to go bugnuts about it. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
