That is...weird.
I dunno why, but I never have compatibility problems.

Does it work for others of you on XP?
Worked all right for me, as I recall, for the most part, though there were a few glitches (Jaheira's romance plotline was terminally bugged, I think, and some other occasional random glitches which made for a huge list of backup save games). It was glitchy, but playable. I think I just saw a collector's edition on the shelves at EBGames last week; I ought to pick that up and see if it works better. I've tried running the game in 95, 98, and Win2k compatibility modes as well. No dice.
As a side note, has anyone ever noticed this helping anything? Every game I've had win95/XP compatibility issues with (Shadow Watch, Battlezone 2, Slave Zero, probably a few others) I've tried this, and it has never done a thing. |

They let you mess with the UI in BG2...I wish someone would go back and do it for BG1...also, IWD.
There is a mod effort called BGTuTu that ports BG1 into BG2, basically. You play the BG1 story in the BG2 program, so you get all the goodies that BG2 added to the interface and such (BAG OF HOLDING). I've never tried it, but I keep 'meaning to'. Knowing me, I'll get around to it sometime around winter....2025. The one reason I never managed to solo my way through BG1 was because I didn't have enough inventory space to carry my phat lewt. When I have 3 billion kobolds to kill and each one of them drops a bow, and I NEED the gold from selling those bows, I am not running back and forth to town every 10 kills or so. |

I beat BG2 with one mage who cast Haste 99% of the time and the resistance stripping spells for Kangaxx and the like. Every enemy could be beaten by casting haste and having everyone else run up and hit them.

All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu. This is the truth! This is my belief! At least for now...

Unless they have, I dunno, Immunity to Magical Weapons on.

Here is a great source for mods, fixes, editors, and cheats, and has a good message board. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/baldursgate2/index.shtmlIf I remember, the lich and other immune creatures could be damaged with +4 or better weapons. That is one of the ways to beat those bad monsters. |

They were only resistant....there were actual defensive spells which made the user Immune to Magical Weapons.
