Tu tutu, or not tu tutu? Options

[Takara]

This mod is definately a fantastic mod. Allowing people to play BG in an updated engine, and use the kit system and everything. But do you still use it?

Personally, I dont know why, but I just love playing BG in it's original glory. Sure it might be great in a better engine, but there's something about BG that I feel the need to play it as it was made.

I dont have any problems with the smaller resolution, blockier environments etc etc. To me, it's part of it's charm. I bought the game soon after it was first released, and played it so many times before BG2 was ever released. The memories are still grand, and just playing the intro teleports me back in time almost. The first 20 mins of the game can take some getting used to. Especially since I'm used to the look of BG2 and IWD2 etc. But after you readjust yourself, I honestly dont notice the older look. I fly through the game and just love it.

So, is there anyone else that still loves playing it as nature intended? Or does everyone now use tutu to play it with a better look?

I personally agree with Apeman saying that my reason to play TotSC with TuTu is that I do believe that the best qualities of TotSC and ToB can merge into a new, revitalized adventure.

I do understand Baronius' point though. All too well. There has been a time where I did refuse to even try TuTu. Then Domi made me change my mind although it was not for the reason she hoped...

Of TuTu, I do love the higher resolution (which doesn't actually change the graphic itself - it just makes it neater...) and the Kits introduction. Yes! Because the kits can be extremely funny to play from level 1. Something that can't be done with BG 2 where you are already at a higher level.

Not to mention that when you are at the lowest level, everything is funnier for sure. You must often rely on your guts to approach different situations. I have always found the best metagaming when I was leading a party at the first levels.

Then too much comes. Too many different powers and spells...I don't know if you guys understand what I mean...

Of TotSC I simply loved the game. Since I am not at all interested in banters, TotSC is the ultimate RPG for me. The only RPG I played which is plot-wise way superior (but I never managed to finish it because I hated how the game worked) and deep in every aspect was Vagrant Story. A real masterpiece in that sense...
