Hi everyone

I started to play BG once again... NWN2 keeps crashing and ToEE still is a fiasco...
BGT is great though!

I cleared Nashkell mines and my group just returned from their Bonehill adventure. Everyone is level 7, so I have to edit them down I guess...

At this point I have many questions, that I could not answer myself browsing various forums:


I have installed now:
- BG2fixpack
- BGT 1.02f
- DSotSC
- NTotSC
- Secrets of Bonehill
- TGC1e
- BG1NPC
- scsbgt
- worldmap v6
(in this order)

What I need to know now is:

1. is it still possible to add BG2 NPC into the BG2 part without starting over my main character? (hubelpot for example :D)
2. I read about baldurdash everywhere -- do I still need it after using BG2fixpack?
3. which BG2 mods are compatible with BGT / which are recommended
4. is it possible to install the XP-fixing tool (defjam?) now, without starting a new game?

Thanks for your help!

4. DEFJAM can be installed/ uninstalled/ reinstalled at any point in the mod install process or during the game at any point, without any side effects. if yr going to be changing it's values during yr game it's best, for convenience purposes, to install it as late as possible in yr install process.

Thanks for your help!

I installed defjam now. It's working nicely. It's really amazing, how good the game still is with all the mods and work that went into it.

Hardest part in BG for me now is: Where to go next? :D

Anywhere you want, I should think.
