BG1 dumb questions

[SixOfSpades]

Installing ToSC in the middle of an existing game will not cause any problems--except with the map. The "old" map won't know what to do with the "new" map areas added with ToSC, and so you won't be able to travel there. To fix this, run the program called MCONVERT that you'll find in your Baldur's Gate directory after installing ToSC. That will update the map, and everything will be hunky-dory.

As far as people in your party getting into fights, certain people just plain don't like certain others. As a general rule, it's not a good idea to mix people of Good and Evil alignment in the same party. This actually makes a great deal of sense: I can't picture Khalid ("I don't mean to be confrontational, b-b-but could you be a little less.....evil?") happily marching in the same party with Xzar ("I wanted Infravision like the Elves....but 'tis more than just taking their eyes.").

Grrr of course! I cant find anyone with the expansion!

The expansion hasn't been in shops for ages. You might have some luck looking for the combo pack containing BG1 and TotSC, thats still in shops over here. Other than that, try looking on places like Ebay for second hand copies.

The entire BG series (and IWD) have recently been re-released in England as dual packs. Not that this is new news, but it is good if you've never played the game at all. Of course, it's a pain if you've spent the money buying each separately...Have a look and see if you can get those Grendal. You might be "doubling" up with another copy of BG, but the price is quite reasonable for the set.


Interesting point about the unidentified MI colour scheme for pre-/TotSC, Six. I'd forgotten all about that, because it's so long since I've played BG without TotSC installed. Mind you, it came as a shock to me to find that I'd started BG without installing TotSC at the same time. That'll learn me to read the label. [img]smile.gif[/img]
