Play BG1 like BG2

Guys Wellard posted this in the BG1 forum and thought I'd let anyone know who does not already. His post is here : http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...=003681#000001

Yes, it's called BG Tutu, was introduced to Ironworks by its creator, and was created by the fine folks at FW Studios. Check them out at http://www.fwstudios.net.

If you want to run through the whole game
BGtutuworks the following way: Install BGtutu, play BG1, save your char, uninstall BGtutu, import your char, play BG2

If you take the time to download BGT (a TeamBG mod far larger in size) you can play the whole series in one and take not nly your main char but also some NPCs with you to BG2 and more importantly keep their stats (i.e. Minsc's, Imoen, Jaheira's, Edwin's, Viconia's,... stats stay as they were at the end of BG1, so if you for example gave them tomes you won't have to SKeep or CLUA them in anymore)

P.S: I think we shold keep this thread here in the BG2 forum to avoid two threads exactly the same. I posted the link to here in the BG1 forum again, so this should work out fine.

Respectfully Faceman I think that it should stay active in the BG1 forum. It is THAT game which is being modded. It is THAT game being given a much needed breath of fresh air. It is people who play THAT game who would like to see the good news.
But of course that sort of decision would be for the mods to decide, but personally I can’t see your problem with having it posted in both places. People are intelligent enough to work things out [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Lets face it if there are bugs in the mod that become apparent while running around BG1 they will have to be addressed in that forum!

That's all true. It comes down to a choice.

Spend 6 weeks downloading and installing BGT (if you're on a dialup), then play.

Spend 60 seconds downloading BGTuTU, 60 seconds in Shadowkeeper, and play. Oh, and uninstall if you want, at any time, and play SoA.

If you are on a dialup and get 5Kb/s download (never happen), it will take you about 2 *solid* weeks of downloading to get BGT. If you say it takes 120 seconds to download BGTutu, then by my reckoning, you've saved 1,209,480 seconds which you could have spent actually playing [img]smile.gif[/img]

You stand right on that, but many have DSL or cable and may enjoy the additional scenes in BGT and the possibility to play it all at once. This is why I brought it up. BGtutu is an incredible tool especially considering the filesize but it just doesn't work for me as I often play concurrent games and/or try to test somethings which leads me to jumping between BG1 and BG2.
