I was wondering if I should play BG1 in 2026 and just got majorly spoiled about your characters true identity. And it is said that this mystery is only revealed at the last 1/3 of the game. So i don't know if I should just watch a summary of the first game and jump straight into the second game or I should still play it nonetheless. What are your opinions on this?

Im at the Iron Throne Building and when I go up the stairs to fight the doppelgängers my mage is right infront of the enemy and gets immediatly 1 shot while I try to move them, but they get stuck on my other teammates. The mines were also just really bad and not enjoyable as every Party member got stuck in the narrow pathways

Hi all! Im in my first playthroug and im wondering which mage should I have in my party. My character is a Paladin, and besides him I have Imoen, Khalid and Jaheira. I think i'll add Misc too, because is an iconic and funnny character, so I'll have to add Dynaheir. However, I've read that Dynaheir cannot use Sleep, which is a very useful spell for newbie players like me. So, what do you think? Thanks in advance!

I want to try a wild mage. I added Neera to my latest no reload run, which I know will eventually end poorly.

Is there any difference, other than stats, between using Neera or playing a PC wild mage?

I’m actually considering a solo wild mage run, just because it’ll be so much fun, and I’ll only reload if I die. But, aside from playing solo (or if you just don’t like Neera, which is understandable), considering I can add Neera in all the games and fairly early, is there a reason to playing a wild mage PC?

I just finished the attack on the coalition camp. In the underground river I saw Hephernan talking to the demon and fought him and he teleported away, and then I freed the dwarf spirit to join cool dragon ghost.

Then when I'm starting the siege of the castle I have only 1 option when talking to the captain. "I learned nothing from underneath the castle." What the heck? I learned Hephernan was colluding with a literal devil, this seems super important and I couldn't mention it to Caelar in the 'negotiations' part at dead man's pass.

Did I miss something or is this just some of the not well done aspect of this expansion?

You have guessed correctly seasoned veteran!!

I a unseasoned CRPG player don’t know a single thing about Dnd or Baldur’s Gate. Now in truth I started playing on my own for a day or two, around 10 hours or so. But i have restarted the game like 5 times also because a gnoll one shot me, and i don’t understand my character or what dual and multi class mean, or what do i do when i level up, or weapon specs, or spells and what the difference is between a wizard and a sorcerer is. And things like that. I have gone until the beginning of Act 2 but i haven’t finished the quests of act 1. And is there any info about damage i do to enemies or how i. An find weakness.

Thanks for any help i can get.

Overview

Ever wished you could install a curated and stable modlist with one click? Are you a builder of epic experiences who always wanted to share your modlist with others? Well now you can. Born2BSalty's Infinity Orchestrator (BIO) is an automated mod installer that can install entire mod setups from 0 to 100% with a single click.

Features

BIO allows you to Install, Create, Manage, and Share multiple modlists at the same time without touching your base game installation folders. There are four main sections of the app:

1. Home - Lets you view and manage all of your completed or in progress installations.

2. Install - Browse a Gallery of curated Modlists to install with one click or use as a base for your own setup.

3. BIO downloads any missing mod archives from official or your custom sources (the exact mod versions pinned in the share code), extracts all mods, sets up your installation directory, and runs through the entire installation from start to finish, fully hands off.

4. The installation is automated using Mod Installer by @dark0dave

5. This is where you go if you just want to get a full ready to play setup with minimal effort.

6. Want to customize a modlist before you install? Just select "Yes, review and modify" on the install screen. BIO takes you straight to the fully featured creation view with that modlist set up and ready to edit.

7. Import another modlist with a share code or .biolist file to install as is or customize.

8. Create - This is where you go to create a modlist for yourself or to share with others. Name your modlist, select a game type (EET, BGEE, BG2EE, or IWDEE), and choose an installation directory.

   1. Choose all the components you want (EET supported by showing you different tabs for BGEE and BG2EE) or Import existing WeiDU Logs
   2. Configure and download exact versions of mods that you want.
   3. Set up the exact per-component install order by drag-and-drop
   4. Pre-enter any prompt answers that mods may ask of you (e.g. "choose which portrait for this NPC" [1] or [2]).
   5. After everything is set up, you can install the whole modlist.
   6. Jump in and play or share your setup with others in just a few clicks.

9. Settings - This is where you can set up your app and all of its required settings and tools. At minimum, you need the actual game(s), WeiDU exe, and the Mod Installer exe.

Call to All Creators

We would love for the experts in the community to build and share their own modlists for others to enjoy. Please hop on the discord if you need help on creating a modlist. We've done a ton of work to try and make it so that your set up can be mirrored as closely as possible when someone else installs it. Of course, with things like SCS that create non-deterministic results or with non-github mods that don't reveal exact versions, it's harder to pin.

We'd love to see a modlist ecosystem grow for the IE games similar to what Wabbajack has done for Skyrim and Fallout!
