Having just picked up a copy of BG2 ( Collectors Edition ), I now have a few issues to clear up before I can get start playing.
1. The patch - which one should I install? The International version or the English version? The game box didn't give any indication, although it does say " Made in the USA " on the side. ( I live in Australia ) 2. What is the version number of latest patch? 3. Throne of Bhaal - I don't have this yet. Is it better to buy it now and install it before I start the game, or could I buy it and install it later? If I did this, would I miss out on anything? Pangur Ban |

1. The English version. International refers to non-English.
2. Click here for the latest SoA patch. Trust me on this one. 3. It's a good idea to get ToB now. You won't miss out on any quests or gameplay, but you will be able to take advantages of enhancements/improvements made to ToB gameplay that will have a flow-on effect to SoA. Also, ToB is an add-on as well as an add-in, so there is a part of ToB that you can access while in SoA. Finally, if you get ToB you won't need to patch your game - though there's no harm done if you patch it and then install ToB on top of it. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Memnoch (edited 08-25-2001).] |

It is so hard to give advice when Memnoch is around - very good answers to good questions.
I've said it before, I'll say it again - nice moderating Memnoch. |

Thanks for the info. So if I read things correctly, I will be:
Step 1. Installing BGII SoA, then Step 2. Installing BGII ToB, then Step 3. Installing the ToB patch Is this right? Pangur Ban [This message has been edited by Pangur Ban (edited 08-25-2001).] |

After you beat the game you gain access to TOB? I mean you beat the game and the game has finished. WHen you installed TOB you start to a new game?? As I understand its not like heart of winter?
