Has anyone tried the Hard Times mod? I am curious as to it's impact on the game, does it just change merchant prices?

Cheers.

So i installed Tutu, realised i left a whole bunch of content out and after finding the comprehensive compatibility and order install guide at Gibberlings 3 i decided to re-install and follow their advice.

GOG release Baldurs Gate and i find myself reinstalling it, annnd Planescape plus i have already started looking for my IWD cd's. Easily led?

Yep :)

You really should use EasyTutu to install Tutu... unless you hate yourself.
The comprehensive compatibility and order of install guide at G3 is very good indeed, it has saved me on many an occasion.
Just remember, you really need to install Tutufix. The BG2 Tweak Pack is highly recommended, as is 1 Pixel Productions to restore BG1 Paper Dolls.
