Hello,
Just purchased. I played BG 1 & 2 years ago when they first came out. Don't think I quite managed to finish either.
Couple of questions:
Is the GOG version Enhanced or normal?
I have downloaded for my Mac. I'd like to use mods to enhance the game for the better but at the same time I don't want to completely transform the feel of the game. Should I follow the conservative or the newbie guide / something else?
Is it going to be difficult getting the mods up and running on a mac? Would it be better to download the Windows version and then I could run it via Bootcamp (which would be Win 8.1).
I don't really know what the various mods can do but I like the thought of running with improved graphics (via the BG 2 engine?), having extra NPCs and content available, taking a character through BG1 and being able to use it in BG2 (is there an issue with some BG2 character kits not being available with unmodded BG1?).
I'm not overly technical so I'd be worried if any of the modding would take too much fiddling about.
Any help and advice much appreciated!
