So I just spent the day learning how to use the BWS tool to install EET. I am extremely impressed! I did run into an error involving the Sandrah mod, which I posted on that mod's support forums. That was the only error and the entire process was otherwise incredibly smooth -- especially when you consider the extreme complexity of combining all the games plus the slew of "mega" mods required for Sandrah. Kudos to all! The BWS is a freakin' revelation in mod installation. Oce I get that error solved, I'll be ready to play

Sounds good Roxanne. I'll just sit tight until it's all ready and you have a page back up on SHS. One last EET related query, though: If I understand correctly, Sandrah uses IWD. Will we need to have IWD-in-EET finalized before Sandrah is available, or is it truly only NTotSC? Apologies if this isn't the right thread for mod-specific topics, that's my last one

I have to deeply disappoint you with that - Sandrah does not support multiplayer at all. By contents, purpose and design, it is just the opposite as it makes your firends and companions (NPCs) a most important part of the game, only with them and their help you can get through the game (the mod is not for soloplayers, six-of-my-own or multiplayers at all). Ah ok, I was wondering about that. Well I had already planned on "play testing" it all myself, solo, first. I'll just look forward to the Sandrah mod for my own party then. My friends will get to experience "vanilla" EET then. Thanks for the tip about the DLC builder for multiplayer, btw. I have to say, I'm really excited, as a healer was the ONE slot that I was missing for a richly developed NPC in a good aligned party, taking the character from candlekeep through the throne (poor Finch seeks refuge in a Library after Sarrvok). Sandrah's even a dualed Fighter/Cleric to boot! Is there another thread where I should ask you a little more about your Sandrah mod, Roxanne? I didn't see a discussion thread for it on G3. Cheers!

I'm in almost the exact same situation. I'm sure it will be a while still, before everything is up and stable in the BWS. But I'm waiting patiently. I check the forum every day to read about updates (and the conversations between modders that I couldn't even begin to understand lol). From everything I've ever read or seen, and what little I've played, I think the complete Enhanced Edition Trilogy - Baldur's Gate, Tales of the Sword Coast, Siege of Dragonspear, Shadows of Amn, Icewind Dale (!), Throne of Bhaal, and 17 years worth of mods (maybe it should be called a "Saga" instead of a "Trilogy" lol!) - all combined into one truly epic and seamless experience, will be the single greatest gaming experience of my life. (Speaking of mods: Also, a shout out to Roxanne. I am crazy impressed by, and looking forward to playing it all with her Sandrah mod!) K4thos, Alien, and everybody else who is contributing to this amazing project - you are my heroes! Thank you. Greetings all, I'm brand new to the forums, though I've been a fan of G3 and the rest of the BG modding community for almost a decade. Ser Elryk summed up what I'm thinking exactly. I've played through all of the games in EET, except SoD, both vanilla, and heavily modded. I have 2 good friends who have never played through any of them. And they call themselves crpg and D&D fans! Needless to say, I set out to fix this travesty. We had been going through a multiplayer game where each of us took 2 characters (just entered Nashkell mines) when I stumbled upon "this EET thing." We decided to wait to get the full experience. I've been lurking and watching, from early this year. I even endured the "Great Where's Kathos Caper" I can't wait to show my guys these great games. They're both programmers by trade and are extremely impressed by the dedication y'all have for essentially a hobby project. I've been doing exactly as Ser Elryk, checking daily, admiring the prowess and dedication of the various modders, and drooling over Roxanne's megamod integration of all the stories. Kudos doesn't begin to cover it. Just wanted to let y'all know you've got a big fan.
