Sorcery: I just bought both BG games and I'm running them on old hardware with a 17 inch CRT monitor. I have a question about this Tutu mod that makes BG1 run using the BG2 engine.
Does this mean that the UI changes, the graphics look better and character animation is just as good in BG2? That's all I want to mod. I don't need to change my resolution or want fan-made content. Fixes are okay but really I would like to do as little modding as possible since I don't understand any of it.
Thanks in advance.
No, it's not just the UI that changes, and 'better' graphics is entirely subjective, as is character animation. I hate the accelerated movement rates in the BG2 engine, for example, while other people prefer it. The TuTu mod *is* fan-made content. You will not be playing BG1, you will be playing BG1++, which means that everything that BG2 has, TuTu has: kits, special powers, inappropriate spells, much more than it sounds like you want. My advice is to go vanilla, live with the older engine, at least until you have experienced BG1 as it should be at least once.
