Just reinstalled BG1 and BG-TotSC with patch.  I had the game since it come out but never really played past the first hour or so of the game.  Tragedy.  I know.  Now I want to get back into it and here I am. 

I have some experience with mods on other games but when it comes to BG I am clueless.  I tried using 'google' as my friend but when I ended up here it looked like a good spot to get some direction.  So, can someone please direct me on what I should install to enhance my experience playing through BG?  I would appreciate the help.  Thanks.

Well, first, if you dont mind getting some engine upgrades, installing Baldur's Gate Trilogy would be good (requires BG2 & Throne of Bhaal, tho)

For BG1, there arent as many mods as for BG2, still some essentials would be:

NPC Mod for BG1 (adds alot of party dialogue & romances)
BG1 Unfinished Business (adds missing quests)
BG1 Quests

and for some of the bigger mods (they all add new areas & quests):

Dark Side of the Sword Coast
Northern Tales of the Sword Coast
Secret of Bonehill
Dark Horizons
Drizzt Saga

There are many more, such as individual NPC mods or gameplay/stats rebalance changes. Your best bet would be browsing the main mod sites and picking what you want, this link can provide you some mods for BG2 as well as links to other modding sites.

Besides our own site here, i would recomend Gibberlings 3 & Pocket Plane Group for BG1 mods.

Good luck!

The spam thread is quiet these days?

Amazing isn't it?

Spam, spam, spam, spam?

I'm still alive, despite being married for over a year.

Any kids?

Is modding dead? Sure is quiet around here.

A lot of silent observers. We have had over a million hits in a couple of months but no posting.

I'm still around. Sometimes.
