This sounds so great I have to have my Tutu up some time soon. Oh my gods don't fail me now.

[Sovran]

Enough of lurking. Now I definitely can't wait to start anew all the way from Candlekeep. Congratulations, you good people!

 

Oh my gods don't fail me now.

 

And all I have to do is sell my soul for a few extra days to the week.

[Antagonist]

These are wonderful news !

 

I am installing BG at the moment, but I fear that I won't have time to play it until Christmas due to extensive studies.

 

Nevertheless, congrats and thanks for all the hard work so far !

[Domi]

Thank you guys for all your good words. Well, the longer you wait, the more we add We still have considerable and interesting content in works for Phase III

[Guest Oron]

Is it possible to install only Phase 1(or 2)? If not, any plan to add this option in future release.

[Domi]

Yes, it is possible. Just chose the "ask about each component' option during the installation process and install the ones you are interested in.

[Guest Stormbringer]

will phase 2 be converted to work with the bgt - bp like phase 1

[Domi]

If Hlidskialf is willing to work on it - I do not think that we have human resources to handle such a conversion internally

[hlidskialf]

I'm not going to promise anything, but there's a definate "maybe" out there.

After thinking on it some more... Starting with V8 the install will have a 'core' component that has to be installed (it's scripts reassignment and patching etc) and then *everything else* will be independent and optional - Banter pack, Quests and Interjections, Avatars, Portraits, every one of the romances, PID's... etc so that you can customize as much as you want

I hope you'll have the time and willpower to do it.

[hlidskialf]

I likely will dreg it up from somewhere, but I'm going to wait for a few debugged versions to be released first. I don't fancy redundant hunt&seek coding.

[Domi]

I will be aiming for V8 with fixes for reported glitches sometime in February so you haver a bit of time to muster that willpower
