Fresh Install - What do I need?

wbclark · Post by **wbclark** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 11:18 am

I'm reinstalling both SoA and ToB and I need to know what mods to get and in which order to install them.

The mods thread lists several packs that fix bugs. Which should I get?

In addition, I would also like to use Dalis Swords, Lvl 1 NPCs, and NPC Flirtpack. I know Lvl 1 NPCs said it should be installed last if possible. Should any others go at the end?

Also, are there any other high quality mods that add banter that you recommend?

I know this may have been answered, but the only things I could find were lists of mods, not which ones were actually essential and in which order to install them.

Thanks for the help

Unfinished Business is a good mod to add. It brings back some of the cut content in the game.

Okay, who wants to tell me why there are so many damn mods and patches? ...and why is the installation order so damn sensitive??? (YIKES!!!)

I thought I'd run out and get a Gold Edition which packages BG1 + BG2 but now I'm reading about all these mods and whut-nots. The game(s) were released more than 5 years ago so, is there not a source or version of the games that are macro-patched for all us newbs????

Obviously I want the most out of my BG experience but I don't want some tool's version of the game....I want the most bug-free experience obviously but not at the cost of bastardizing the developer's effort or vision here.
