Baldur's Gate Enhancements

Baldur's Gate, released in 1998 is considered by many to be the game that re-energized the computer-based fantasy role playing genre. BG is based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset and like a tabletop game could be played by multiple people in a party. BG and its expansions and sequels used the Infinity Engine and community developers found ways to make modifications to the games.

The enhancements that I developed are compatible with Baldur's Gate II ("BG2") and BG1Tutu (a free utility that allows playing BG using the BG2 version of the engine and rules). Many other enhancements by other authors can be found at the Pocket Plane Group site.

  1. Any chance for an EE update? Miss your convenient containers!

    1. I’m afraid I haven’t looked at EE at all and so am not sure how to mod it. I’m surprised they didn’t include containers though.
