Did
you know?
Although the guide is written in a particular sequence
it is designed so you can play the locations in any
order you want (within the limitations of the
plot). If you want to skip to a different area just
use the Map in the navigation menu.
Really
useful things
- Quest Checklist (print
it off and check every quest as you play)
- Map Mega List (links
to every location in the game presented in numerical
order)
- Miscellany (tips
on where to sell those oddities you pick up along
the way, and many other things)
What
you should install
In writing this guide I installed:
- Baldur's Gate
- Tales of the Sword Coast
- TotSC Patch BGTalesUK5512 (or equivalent)
- Kevin Dorner's Baldurdash fixes BG1FixPack11 and BG1TOSCGameTextUpdate11
- Dudleyville's DudleyFix FixPacks #1, #2 and #3
It is not essential to install either the Baldurdash
fixes or the DudleyFixes as
they do not affect the plot, though they fix a multitude
of mistakes.
It is important to install the above items in the
order stated.
A
brief history of bug-fixing
No, don't fall asleep! Very important. First there was Baldur's
Gate, then it got patched by Bioware, then
a certain Mr Dorner fixed more bugs with the glory of Baldurdash,
then Dudleyville fixed even more bugs, then the Pocket
Plane Group polished it all off with the BG1 Unfinished Business mod.
The changes that have been made to quests, NPCs, loot, etc.
if you have installed the DudleyFixes are highlighted in the walkthrough
in orange
text.
I will
update the walkthrough with the effects of BG1 Unfinished Business
in due course.
