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?

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 we have a misunderstanding here, Domi...I meant to simply thank you for suggesting me, in the past, to give a chance to TuTu.

I had no intention to even ever load it once on my PC and instead I did it a couple of weeks after our discussion...

What I meant to add was that I didn't actually find myself enthusiast of TuTu for your same reasons but mostly for the rules/graphical enhancements.

TuTu allows the introduction of a new level of NPC interaction and this is one of the qualities of TuTu many people care the most for. And I respect it. Not my case though...Not today...

Who knows ? Perhaps one day I might really try and experience a deeper TuTu gaming session setting my mind to wanting to "know" the NPCs a little better...In that case, BG1NPC won't surely miss next to my favourite Mods as I read many, many positive and enthusiastic comments about it...At the moment, what I care most for is to see these following Mods to be released or made compatible with TuTu before I play: Baronius' Superstitions Mod, BG1 Quest Pack (and it's gonna take some time), Virtue for TuTu, BG1 and BG2 Fixpacks, BG1 Unfinished Business but mostly Echon's Fields of the Dead...
