[Kaeloree]

Spellhold Studios

 

Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT)-WeiDU is a modification for Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, that allows the player to experience the Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast storyline using the improved functionality of the Baldur's Gate II engine. Improvements include higher resolution, updated graphics, grouping of journal entries, map notes, and other extended user interface options. The conversion between the Baldur's Gate I and Baldur's Gate II engines is made as faithful as possible to preserve the original game. However, using an improved engine, BGT-WeiDU adds a number of new features that provide a more satisfying journey. These include:

 

- Compatibility with a large number of other modifications made for Baldur's Gate II, including the mega-modification (Shadows Over Soubar, The Darkest Day, Tortured Souls), as well as modifications made for the parallel projects BG1Tutu and EasyTutu

- Continuity from Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast into Shadows of Amn, presenting a seamless experience into the world of Faerun

- Accessibility to Tales of the Sword Coast without having to finish Baldur's Gate

- Dynamic journal system to keep track of quests in Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast

- Improvement of the effects of iron shortage by allowing all standard weapons, armor, and shields to shatter

- Introduction of map notes to Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast to assist in marking important locations
