I think our friend means break in the sense of "cause the software to stop running" not the sense of pirating.
If you're really worried, you may just want to stick to the Bioware patch and then the Baldurdash patch - discuss any others with your Bro. All the more substantial patches have Readme files, but at worst you'll need to reinstall.
Good luck!
