Baldur's Gate Mod Lets You Play Original On Sequel

Posted by simoniker on from the fun-for-all-the-rpg-family dept.

Anthony Boyd writes "The Baldur's Gate series has seen a lot of official expansions and unofficial mods. The latest one is fairly impressive: in about 750k, the BG1tutu team has delivered a file that completely moves your Baldur's Gate 1 games over to the Baldur's Gate 2 engine. According to the readme, it means you can play BG1 with screen sizes of 1024x768 or larger, you get more auto-pause options, and all spells and creatures have been converted to the updated BG2 rules. Best mod ever!"

    Yes, I would think that creating 3d-maps and models of everything in BG1/2 again and rewriting the entire plot and scrips would be a bit more work.
