Hey all,
Just wanted to say this is my first post and I looked back a few pages but couldn't really find anything towards answering my question so I thought I would ask the community instead. Also just an FYI im no techy so any explanations of what you know would be greatly appreciated.
I have been going back and forth between BG1 from this site and steams sale of BG:EE which is a mere $4.99. I don't really care which version has more content or not or the legal battles between Atari and co, I just want to play this game and not run into millions of bugs. I have heard nightmare stories of BG:EE and was wondering if this version of BG works fresh out of the box for any pc/laptop?
BG:EE apparently doesn't support intel based cards and I have a Samsung 7 series which comes with i7, Intel switchable graphics (i guess the other card being AMD). Will BG be fine on my computer and would BG:EE also still be fine because I have switchable graphics or is this just a really dumb question?
To those who have played both versions which did you prefer and which one ran better? I just want to finally play this game once and for all and not have it crash every other second.
Also my last question if I were to get BG from here are there any necessary patches that GOG doesn't provide that are vital to complete the story or is the game sold in perfect condition with little to no bugs??
Thanks for the help!
