Still playing it, still modding it..... just started Classic Adventures. When that's done, it'll be back to BG1 but in TuTu guise and with a party that I've not run through before. Something like <CHARNAME> as a cleric instead of my usual mage, Finch, Indira, Edwin, Xan and ANO not decided.

29 for Yes, 2 for No.

Seems like Baldur's Gate is still alive :)

you'd hope that ppl on a BG forum were still playing the bloody thing, hey? asking this question on a WoW forum might get different results, but here, you'd hope most ppl were still playing it...

They'll ask what Baldur's Gate is.

Poor kids. Never played a real computer game.

Still Playing it Because I have only recently discovered the world of modding and am eager to plunder its riches!

Dont touch WoW :) It gives ppl ability to powerplay and then go back, relax and roleplay :)

But mostly yes. Ignorance at its finest.

And yes, i do play BG1/2. They pwn.

Still play it and hope that my mod will give another small kickstart, though it will take a lot more time still (also forum is very quiet = not stimulating; only me coding = lot to do, sometimes fed up for a while.)

Still modding the Mod for the Wicked... It is a big project you know... And I got sidetracked (several times) a bit... sorry.

Strange... I feel like playing it again. Getting mods and getting it up and running as I type this. :D

Yeah, now I'm playing it again. Some nice surprises with the mods installed.

Archmage Silver why don't you give Classic Adventures a try. It is a Total conversion which I think you may enjoy.

Ah I've stopped playing it for quite a while now, only because I hardly have time to. However, I'm still v interested in the game and lurking around in the forums.

Yep, I've thought of that... maybe I should give it a try, I hear Sir BB really did a great job there.

I have been meaning to get back into my IWD game. I had started playing BG, but after i got BGII and IWD, i decided to play the games in chronological order, so thats pretty much what I will be doing. I would have finished them all a long time ago, but moving around, working a lot of hours and having a family has greatly dropped my game playing time. That and not having a computer for a couple of years didn't help either.

Not having a computer for a couple of years?! How did you survive? Yes, I can't survive without a PC... too addicted. :P

LMAo, you never grew up in my house. I was barely allowed to touch the computers my dad got unless I was fixing it, or upgrading it for him. Outside of that, i never was allowed to really play with it, unless he felt kind enough to allow me to play Doom and Unreal. Up till then it had only been my Sega Master System, Sega Genesis or the old TRS-80 which I had very few games for. After I moved out, I couldn't afford to buy a computer, let alone feed support myself. So instead of staying at home, I found myself back on the streets hanging with either the friends I made when I moved or my old crew. The joys of growing up in Toronto getting a street education. lmao

Heh heh... well, you obviously are a bit older than me, eh? Yeah, I really can't imagine living without some kind of a PC for me to use... my first PC was a Intel 486.

My first comp was the Tandy TRS-80 color. My first built one was an upgrade from a 286 to a 486. I am 33 years old, so that should answer whose older. lmao... Oh and if i could get back in touch with a lot of my old crew, i'd probably be offline more and out of the house a lot. Though I think my wife and kids would get pissed at me being gone a fair bit and possibly getting myself in trouble again.

Well, I'm 17 so you're almost twice as old as me, plus I don't live in the States but Finland instead.

hmm, should i start to assume then I am one of the oldest on this forum? either way, i am goingt o re-install IWD this weekend and hopefully my save game will still be working. once I get that done then i am going to look into either IWD II, or BG1. The biggest issue I always run into in these games is a good party to play with...
