If you made a BG2 backup, you should be able to restore from the backup with minimal fuss.

Huh?  It wasn't available on my map.  I even tried approaching Cloakwood from different maps to see if I could get it to show up.  No go.

Also, if you just have the first Cloakwood map, don't you run into the problem where you can't complete Coran's quest in a timely fashion?

Edit: Eh?  A mod moves Coran around?

Ick.  I just realized that I have "NPCs angry but never leave" instead of "NPCs never angry about reputation" installed.  Why you would ever do that is sort of beyond me; Jaheira says she loves you and won't go to an inn if you have the former already, so it's not like there's a difference in suspension of disbelief or anything.

Anyway -- I tried sneaking that in, and I let the installer go until it was like 28 GB, and then I decided to stop it.  New installation time!

I figure I might add in a font mod this time, since BWS doesn't have one.  The manual says you should read the "Last Settings" chapter, but there's no such chapter in the manual.  Could anyone let me know what fonts they've successfully installed on top of BWS in the past?  Thanks.

Edit: Is there a reason the BG1 "Make Cloakwood accesssible early" options aren't selectable?  It's nice to run in and take care of Coran.

All I did was increase performance under the Bioware-provided config file.  It's such a basic thing that I didn't even consider it as something that could cause graphical glitches as categorical as I had been seeing (e.g. the Magic Missile business).  But it fixed everything.

The main reason I was able to fix it is that I've secretly wanted to play with Divine Remix all this time, so I was always a little ambivalent about my prior installs (which lacked it due to SR being default), but I was somewhat more motivated to play around a little to make it work this time. ^^

How can I determin the size manually?  It looks like the number doesn't coincide with the kilobytes or megabytes of the mod, so it must be some other metric, but....
