Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga

krunchyfrogg · 04-19-2005, 05:51 PM

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.

So does Full Install

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

timothy trotter · 04-21-2005, 03:17 AM

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

krunchyfrogg · 04-21-2005, 11:31 AM

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.
