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 [ 10-29-2003, 01:21 AM: Message edited by: Pirengle ]

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 should keep this to one topic, probably in the BG2 forum because there's more traffic. Just follow the link there and help not making two exact same threads which would be kind of pointless. Maybe a mod could lock this thread after posters have joined the thread in BG2 [ 10-29-2003, 03:55 AM: Message edited by: Faceman ]

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 [img]smile.gif[/img] 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] [ 10-29-2003, 10:48 PM: Message edited by: Bardan the Slayer ]

I am using it and like it. Some things I've noticed so far:
1. spell - animate dead works as in SOA (not one skeleton per level) 2. spell - find familiar gives you a powerful (for 1st level) party member, but there are draw backs. Not all their special abilities work and it create tougher spawns. Imagine facing a dread wolf or two just outside Candlekeep. 3. The chicken quest only has one outcome. |
