Can anyone tell me if the GOG Baldurs Gate, or the Enhanced Baldurs Gate work with a tablet?

These games are perfect for playing with a stylus, but I was disappointed/not surprised that Fallout didn't work that way. Fallout was old enough it just treated the stylus like a relative-position mouse-cursor (hellish and unusable).
I was hoping someone else here might know if this were doable with the BG (or even the Icewind Dale) games.

Thanks in advance.
I vaguely remember this coming up elsewhere, and the answer was not very.

I think the end result was similar to most classic RPgs and tablets. (I.e. 'hellish' as you describe.)

This being for classic BG, not sure about the Enhanced Editions.

BG EE has an iPad edition. But I think the tablet-specific stuff is only for iPad.
I got it working on my android tablet, but it was a PITA to play without my bluetooth mouse. Once I started using the BT mouse, most of my problems disappeared.
There are three ways to play BG, Windows (original and EE), GemRB (original only) and on iOS (EE, android will come later)

1) I play it on my windows tablet with keyboard dock and mouse (played both the original and the EE version).
It's barely playable without at least a mouse, because you need to move the mouse to the edge of the screen to move the camera, but this is not possible on a touchscreen.

2) If you use GemRB, it coud be called fully playable. You can use GemRB on Windows, Linux and Android. I even played it on my 5" Samsung Galaxy Player (essentially a mini-tablet), even though that meant things were pretty small to say the least.
The biggest downside is that there's limited and awkward options for hotkeys in tablet-only mode. Everything you do feels immensely cluncky. I really missed an effective way to navigate the game. Everything is slow and takes way more time than it should. It just wasn't much fun to play like this. If you have a mouse and keyboard for an android device, it's pretty much like the windows version.

3) The EE version for iOS is the most streamlined for tablets, but you have to at least have an ipad 2 and there's limited to no modding support.
