If you like to mod a mega game (BG I+Addon and BG II+Addon) with lot of Mods then you have to buy the Enhanced Editions + Dragonspear (because it is a nice, ranked between Legend of the Sword Coast (BG I Addon) and Throne of Bhaal (BG II Addon). Funny enough it is middle even in the content. Be aware, the Enhenced Editions (exept Dragonspear of course) where never ment to add extra content but to make the game run on modern hardware. And that it does perfectly as far as i know it. The game engine work much more fluent. That is fine but the real pearl lies within the fluent moddability. Many mods with its newest version are on Enhenced Edition only. Of course it is possible to build a mega-mod with the "not Enhanced Editions" but you have to spend a lot of work in it to function halfway stable especially because most mods are developed and bugfixed in Enhanced Editions only. And even if you can rebuild it and be satisfied with the content (there are soooo many (big) mods avaible, some not avaible for Enhanced Edition (i miss Vecna so much), most for the Enchanced Edition) your game may stutter a lot even if you biffed all the override correctly. And i dont know how often some people here had to reinstall and biffed there mega-mod but trust me, you will spend at least 24 hours for complete installation even if you know exactly what to do. A lot is automatized but if you need to install the mega-mod at first time you need several hours handycrafting the basic. You can batch a lot but this is extra work. I make it easy. If you spend half the day with work then your best choice is to buy the Enhanced Editions. If you have a poor friend with no job or if you want to start modding this game anyway you can stay with the original Edition if you can get an example of course. The engine-build up is different so you have to decide for whom you like to mod if you want to do so for others. If you can beat the stuttering. This is very important for the game experience.
