Hej Guys,

adjusting my character's abilities right now and wonder if INT, WIS and CHA have any other effects than the ones described e.g. here.
The Baldur's Gate ingame descriptions of these stats seem to hint that they have even more effects, similar to the ones of PS:T. I'm talking about more dialogue options and more ways to complete a quest just by talking. So guys, do these stats have just the effects described in the link or do they give me a more thorough gaming experience when increasing?

Hey guys,

After I played through Planescape: Torment the other day, I want to start with the Baldur's Gate series now. I have already installed Baldur's Gate and the Add-On Tales of the Sword Coast + the 1.1.4315 Patch.
My question now is: Am I ready to go or should I install some Fixpacks, Tweaks, Patches, blahblahblah before I'll start the adventure?
It was so easy with PS:T and it's Qwinn Mods + the widescreen + the UI Mod. That was that with this game, but is there a similar procedure with Baldur's Gate? I heard about the Trilogy Mod but am not entirely sure if it's worth it.. remember that I want to play through the original game without any Expansions, but with a better/enhanced original experience.

Thanks in Advance ;-)
