Game play help

raphjd · Post by **raphjd** » Sat Nov 30, 2002 2:59 pm

I have and have played BG2, now I have ToB and want to play it as one whole game.

My problem is this; I can only play one or the other. If ToB is installed it won't let me play SoA. I want to do the whole thing in one go. Not as 2 seperate games.

Please help.

I am not sure I understand what your exact problem is here.

There should be two options one either side of the screen when the game comes up, one for SoA and one for ToB. You should just have to click the start game button under whichever choice you want.

Are you saying that when you install ToB, there simply isn't an SoA option? Or are you getting errors?

It has the option for both, but when I put disc 2 in for SoA nothing happens. It just sits there asking for disc 2.

If I have just SoA installed it works fine.

If ToB is installed, I can only play ToB.

I have Windows XP Home, but it says it's compatible.

Try patching the game with the latest patch found at http://www.bioware.com

You want the option to play SoA. It incorporates ToB. They're all one, and seamless. There are also a couple of areas within SoA, that you'll discover in your travels. (Well, one good area, and three areas that are pretty dull.) As soon as you've finished SoA, ToB will launch.

The ToB option merely fast-forwards a character you create into ToB, with sufficient levels and skills to survive there (presumably). It otherwise ignores SoA.
