August 30, 200619 yr I noticed recently that there are DVD packs out containing the full Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Fallout serieses. I got extremely excited and ordered them all. I thought you all might. I'll let you know how they get on with windows XP. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
August 30, 200619 yr Does the Baldur's Gate one have BG1 and BG2 on a single DVD? If so, I might get this. It would be nice not to have to fiddle around with 11 CDs each time I install. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
August 30, 200619 yr I can't imagine there would be any problems with XP. I've been playing the original releases on XP for years now and it's never been a problem. As for the BG releases I think it's one DVD for BG1 and one for BG2. Not sure if the two are sold together or separately.
August 30, 200619 yr XP borks with the BGs a bit, but not bad. the screen graphics get funky every once in a while, but it is easy to fix by simply scrolling around in the window or switching to another view, such as the map. taks comrade taks... just because.
August 30, 200619 yr Does the BG1 ship with this "tutu" mod that I often hear mentioned as the definitive BG1 experience? baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
August 30, 200619 yr I'd have thought that was very unlikely. I recommend Tutu, though, especially with the NPC Project mod installed as well. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
August 30, 200619 yr Had the BG box for a while now; Box has BG (1 DVD) ToSC (1 CD) BG2: SoA (1 DVD) BG2: ToB (1 CD) In order to make BG1 run you need to install patches... both BG2's should work right away (but patches are advised non the less) ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

August 30, 200619 yr The IWD box has; IWD DVD HoW CD IWD2 CD1 & CD2 There are no bonus features whatsoever, unfortunately. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
August 30, 200619 yr The Fallouts are all on DVD. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
August 30, 200619 yr Hmm..I could use IWD and FO: Tactics. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta

August 31, 200619 yr XP borks with the BGs a bit, but not bad. the screen graphics get funky every once in a while, but it is easy to fix by simply scrolling around in the window or switching to another view, such as the map. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've never even had that. I guess it just varies from system to system. I do have problems with the sound suddenly resetting to maximum every time I load a game, but even that disappeared with Tutu. Had the BG box for a while now; Box has BG (1 DVD) ToSC (1 CD) BG2: SoA (1 DVD) BG2: ToB (1 CD) In order to make BG1 run you need to install patches... both BG2's should work right away (but patches are advised non the less) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's a shame. It wouldn't have need a huge amount of effort to put it all on one DVD, surely? It reminds me of the Ultima Collection CD, released in the Windows age without the slightest care that several of the games won't run at all under Windows. So much for putting the customer first. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
August 31, 200619 yr Wait...what are you referring to when you say "it" when talkin about the "effort to put it all on one DVD." Surely you can't mean every game and expansion.
August 31, 200619 yr Why not? Wouldn't it fit? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
August 31, 200619 yr Using modern compression rates it could fit if the DVD was dual layered. However it should be One DVD per game+expansion. Not DVD+CD.
