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?

Not sure why this thread got ressurected yet again, after like a year, but since my name was invoked.

No, Salk, I do not have an alterior motive of 'pushing' my mod in recommending TUTU over Trilogy, unless the player specifically and above all wants the Candlekeep to Pocket Plane Express. In fact, I am skirtish of praise given to the mod lately, since it seems to invite unwanted attention. I'd rather the mod speaks directly to the player and for itself. Like TUTU.

I believe that BG1TUTU, irregardless the modding politics, irregardless the personalities involved in creating it, is the single best mod created by the modding community. It is daring and complete in its purpose. It's a flawless concept and dedicated execution.

BG1+TUTU+BG1NPC, imo is the best game I have ever played. Not only because it's mind-blowingly good, but because it is an example of successful symbiosis between the commercial game and user-made add-ons, ie mods.
