Really enjoyed the update!, ...Quite a bit better than the original. Options

Just thought I should offer some feedback on the current version of TGCe1, which I just finished playing through.

I must say that I enjoyed the first version, as it fit very well in terms of difficulty and setup with the original BG. It wasn't nearly as overpowered as, say, DSotSC. The enemies were tough, but not ridiculously so. The storyline was fairly believable, and fit well with the story of BG.

That said, I enjoyed the new update immensely! The story has been wonderfully expanded, and seems a great deal deeper with the plots behind plots. The enemies are interesting, from the Tattooed Man to Telvar and the sorceresses to the various funky undead-type things that crop up now and then. The various twists that occur in trying to enter the Friendly Arm Inn are rather fun too. The final touch is the humor that is threaded into several of the encounters, which leads to some smile-worthy moments.

All in all, you've done quite an excellent job on this mod, sir! My hat is off to you. Now I must wait impatiently for Part II to arrive.

Cheers!

Oops! Sorry about that. Telvar is from Secret of Bonehill, I think. I believe I was speaking of Teven (who, incidentally, handed me my @$$ the first time I fought him).

In terms of Part II's dissimilarities from Pt. I, I suppose the map fixes would have to be undertaken by Weigo (I think that's his handle on the Spellhold Studios forums), in order to get them into the updated Worldmap version. I'm not sure about that though. I hear that Region of Terror, Neverending Journey, etc. are being included in that worldmap update, and so I'm sure the man has TONS to do!

Either way, I was pleased as punch with Ep. 1, so despite the potential differences in the next version, I have faith in you as a modder, so I'll still anticipate it with pleasure.

Cheers!
