This looks interesting. I might give it a try if it's not too much of a pain to install and uninstall. Thanks!
ok, so how am I supposed to use bigworld setup when Spellhold Studios is down?
Whose idea was this ugly ui revamp?
PS:T EE is an amazing EE. As for the others, Curratum is absolutely right. The autism that Codexers exhibit when it comes to shit as benign as UI and animation changes is so never ceases to amaze me. The UI looks fine to me and the in game UI is preferable to the original versions, and who the fuck gives a shit about some minor animations? The upgrades to the resolution, the in game UI, and the QoL updates are worth paying an extra 5-10 bucks over the original version. Go ahead and down rate me, I don't give a fuck.
Except when I ask you to substantiate why these EE's are shit, the only thing you have to say are useless platitudes about how "mods did it first". The only time I ever seen someone take something up the ass so fucking hard over ten dollars is when I'm browsing porn.Because you're a retarded newfag, that's why you think these shitty EEs are so amazing and worth 10 bucks extra for mostly doing what free mods already did.
Lol, keep talking shit homo. I guarantee you're a fucking troglodyte that's probably never lifted a weight in his life. I'll post a pic of myself as soon as you do, and I put it down that I'd be able to bend you over and fuck you like the faggot you are if we were face to face.lol at "Go ahead and down rate me, I don't give a fuck.". Such a tough guy.

They are shit because they are shameless cashgrabs which do nothing more than what mods have done for free for well over a decade. What is worse the new shit they included is in large parts jarring, unfitting and so hilariously badly written that anyone defending this pile of turd is nothing but a blithering retard. To add insult to injury they go around and pretend like this was their own work while they are nothing but leeches sucking off the brilliance of Black Isle studios.
Use Lefreut's UI for EET. It's p. great.
Again?Surely the biggest problem is that the latest patch broke the game.
yes, I used it shortly after posting and it works pretty well. Not sure I like how it installs BG1 mods into BG1 first, but maybe it needs to.ok, so how am I supposed to use bigworld setup when Spellhold Studios is down?
Apparently this is the new shit:

They were shit in a variety of ways especially at the start. The new characters are horribly written and annoying. There were items added that were completely unbalanced. SoD was unneeded, unbalancing and altered the story. They were very buggy and they broke most mods. They didn't run well and had major performance issues (like every time an enemy died, it'd take 5 to 30 seconds to process on my system, still takes time sometimes btw).Except when I ask you to substantiate why these EE's are shit,
Thank you, that’s a great UI mod. The last time we discussed the pros and cons of the EEs, I recall that you had no problem with the 2.x journal presentation. Rather, I believe that you liked it. Did you change your mind, or are you willing to put up with the regressed journal UI for the other parts?Use Lefreut's UI for EET. It's p. great.
Have you looked at or played any of the 2.x versions of the EEs? The UI regressed, a lot. This mod is akin to a v1.3 / vanilla mashup. The modder even took out the ridiculous XP bar.Use Lefreut's UI for EET. It's p. great.
I strained for a minute to spot any difference and I could not.
You know what else the EE's did? They opened up these old games to entirely new markets that likely had no idea how about the extensive modding community behind these games. I didn't know shit about these games having mods, and I researched them for a bit before I bought the originals. Just looking at BG high res tutorials, you can see people asking questions in the comments and trying to figure shit out. A lot of people probably say fuck it and can't be bothered to go through all that. Plus, the UI and characters got extremely fucking small when you scaled up the games to larger resolutions. The EE's not only did what mods did, but they did it a little bit better.They are shit because they are shameless cashgrabs which do nothing more than what mods have done for free for well over a decade.

In one of my first posts I wrote defending my EE, I clarified that they were now good after a variety of patches had come out fixing all the issues with bugs and such. I had 0 problems when playing the enhanced versions of BG 1 & 2, IWD, and PS:T.They were shit in a variety of ways especially at the start.
Which new characters? In the base game? Please describe to me which ones were horribly written and annoying. I actually liked Neera, Rasaad was boring but some of his back story regarding his origin was interesting, and Dorn seemed cool as well. I never interacted with Baeloth so maybe he was badly written, but this seems like an inane complaint; especially since you could just ignore them. As for the items being unbalanced, just lol. This has no effect on the vast majority of casual players, and the hardcore players already know how to break the games balance.The new characters are horribly written and annoying. There were items added that were completely unbalanced.
I'm fine with people making the argument that we really didn't NEED the EE's, though I would disagree with that statement, but claiming that they're shit after they've been all patched up and work fine now is blatant autism. Like I said, they opened up these classic games to entirely new markets of people, and introduced several QoL features that made the game better.So the question isn't why the EEs are shit, it's why did we need them in the first place?
Cute, except FeelTheRads is a little bitch boy that didn't say a fucking word in response once I called his homosexual ass out. And believe me, when I post a pic it won't have to be something pulled off of google images. In general, queers that act aggressive as fuck over the internet do so because they never have the chance to act aggressive in real life. When little Johnny gets kicked and shit on by everyone he happens to come across in real life, it's only natural he tries to do the same in the only medium he can, I.E, the internet. Don't talk shit if you're not willing to prove that you're not a fucking incel.Come at me bitches!
There were items added that were completely unbalanced. SoD was unneeded, unbalancing and altered the story.Except when I ask you to substantiate why these EE's are shit,
*after YEARS of patches. My game was unplayable due to the aforementioned lag on enemy death for over a year.they were now good after a variety of patches
It wouldn't be worth it. They're objectively bad and if you don't see that...Which new characters? In the base game? Please describe to me which ones were horribly written and annoying.
...then maybe you just have bad taste.I actually liked Neera
As for the items being unbalanced, just lol. This has no effect on the vast majority of casual players, and the hardcore players already know how to break the games balance.
Then you dodged the question: why did we need them?I'm fine with people making the argument that we really didn't NEED the EE's, though I would disagree with that statement
GOG and Steam were already doing that with the originals and introducing thousands of newbs to an established fanbase can be seen as a double edged sword.Like I said, they opened up these classic games to entirely new markets of people
They weren't worth the years of game breaking bugs etc.introduced several QoL features that made the game better.
faggot
faggot
homo
Do we have another HHR here?homosexual
Again, I'm referring to the state of the Enhanced Edition as it is now, after the years of patches. If someone wants to say that they were shit when they came out, but in a decent enough state now, I'd agree with them. That's not the consensus on the Codex though.*after YEARS of patches. My game was unplayable due to the aforementioned lag on enemy death for over a year.
It wouldn't be worth it. They're objectively bad and if you don't see that...
Can't argue if you don't bring up any evidence. Even if they are bad, it's optional content that has no real bearing on the game. And clearly I'm not the only one who thought they weren't that bad....then maybe you just have bad taste.
Except it's only unbalanced if you go out of your way to do so. I played on hard and there were several fights in the game that required various reloads and tactics to get out of with everyone alive. What items were broken, name them please.Making a game MORE unbalanced and broken isn't exactly what I'd call "enhanced".
Bro...Then you dodged the question: why did we need them?

Why do we need anything? BG 1 EE sold between 500,000 and a million copies on Steam. If that's not indicative of these games opening up a new market, I don't know what is.Like I said, they opened up these classic games to entirely new markets of people, and introduced several QoL features that made the game better.
It's objectively a good thing if we want more games like this (old school isometric RPGS). And again, look at the Steam sales for BG EE. That's not even counting the sales on GOG, which would probably raise the number up even more.GOG and Steam were already doing that with the originals and introducing thousands of newbs to an established fanbase can be seen as a double edged sword.
*shrug* I never had to deal with any of that shit, so it was definitely worth it for me.They weren't worth the years of game breaking bugs etc.
Don't know who that is, but I use retard and cocksucker just as much as I do faggot. Lots of faggots on this thread through.Do we have another HHR here?
Surely the biggest problem is that the latest patch broke the game.
