Engerek01: I dared to start the game again with the BGT mods (so playing BG1 with BG2 engine). I had never played Durlag's Tower before so it was one of the first places i entered as soon as it appeared on the map. It was super hard. After many deaths and reloads, i managed to cleanse the tower. It was very satisfying.
But there is a small problem now. The rest of the game became super easy after leveling up like crazy and with the stuff i found there. I cleaned Larswood, Peldvale and Bandit Camp like i was doing a trip in forest. Almost nothing was able to cause me any challenge. I remember those bandits were a serious problem in my earlier playthroughs.
I havent finished the game yet but i felt like i should warn others. Or am I wrong? My characters became level 8.
Tnx.

Hmm, at this point you could, if you wanted to, simply adjust the Gameplay setting to harder. That's rather quick and easy to do, and it solves the problem. :)
What I am wondering, is when will there be new Baldurs gate add-ons and additional quests? They sure have the players out there willing and ready to immediately purchase add-ons. It is such a shame to see a good game and engine "go to waste" so to speak, when the game company fails to spend a couple hundred thousand on programmers to make a BG III or even a few add-ons, when the returns are basically guaranteed to be 4 to 5 times that investment.
If BioWare is unsure about how such an investment would turn out, then BioWare should see if Larian Studios would do the work. Of course Larian would put up all the funding and programming work, and of course BioWare would have to get a percentage of he profits because it does own the rights to Baldurs gate. But still, if Larian's programmers came in it is certain they could create some awesome add-ons that would bring in good money to both Larian and BioWare.
There is nothing worse than seeing an awesome game like Baldurs Gate, knowing that its age guarantees it's name is well known, just sit there and do nothing other than generate a little cash from the $10 or $20 people are still paying for the original game once in a while. Larian's programmers are awesome, and I bet they could come in and create some excellent programming tools that would allow them to create a wonderful new BG add-on every month. Let BG's faithful gamers download these new add-ons for $20.00 each month, and I bet there would be 25,000 downloads per month. That translates into $500,000 a month in downloads for the BG add-on each month. Compare that to a $250,000 investment in programmers, they will make their money back the first month, then every month after that is more cash coming in. That's my idea, and i think it's a much better idea than what they are doing now with the rights to Baldurs gate, by just letting it sit there.
If anyone out there agrees, take a moment to write Larian and BioWare asking them to collaborate on some new Baldurs Gate add-ons. There are gamers with plenty of money to spend $20.00 per months on a new add-on each month. :)
