    Best evar! I already have played it nearly 20 times, so the selection in your poll was a no-brainer for me.

    I have to say I have owned the game sense it came out and I don't think it will ever get old to me!

    I rated it Fair, according to the poll vote.

    I just wish there were mods availble for the regular game instead of all those for Tutu.

    Excellent replay value, plus if you install a different MOD every time, you should always be that little bit surprised. Not to mention You have to change your gameplay depending on your class.

    Which is funny cause I always seem to play for so long, then restart with a new character. I have like 20 saved games I should finish.

    Yes it's an excellent game. I've been through several times, and have 3 games runneing by now. The SCS mod really enhances the gaming experience.

    I've only ever finished it once. One day I may play it again, but it would only be with that tutu thing on.

    Tutu allows you to play through the BG1 story with the BG2 engine and mechanics.

    Does it change the NPCs to give them kits or anything?

    I think it does, but don't take my word for it as I don't play Tutu.

    Try Black Wyrm's Lair. The Grey Clan is at least one of Baronius' mods that is written for BG1, Tutu and BGT. For BG1 there's also Dark Side of the Sword Coast, available here, on SP. The link is to a page that will also allow you download the Grey Clan - Episode 1 for BG - TotSC.
    There is the Tutu Tweak Pack, which will allow you to assign kits where people have modded suitable replacement .cre files for your companions. Some of their choices are pretty whacked-out, though. Mind you, some of the proficiency choices made for Tutu were also ultra bizarre. :bad:

    EDIT: btw, I voted excellent. BG1 is one of the best RPGs ever, and always draws me back. Actually, for its replayability I'd just about call it the best. Although that opinion can vary from time-to-time, I'm constantly drawn back to BG1 as I am no other game, whether in Tutu form or the original.

    [​IMG] Tutu is also to be discussed in our ToB forum, as the forum descriptions gently point out...

    I voted for excellent, although I have to say, that getting 10 to 12 replays out of the same game is excellent replay value. Heck, if I get 4 or 5 replays out of a game, I think THAT is pretty good replay value. I don't see any reason why 20 times is the benchmark.

    I have difficulty with the replay value, because I always play as a paladin, cause I suck at almost everything else.

    I would struggle to have enough hours, days, weeks, and months in my life to be able to complete a long game like BG 20 times. It took me about 7 months to finish the first time.

    I finished it the first time with a thief with the poorest stats ... and yet I loved it the first 5 mins I played it.

    Baldur's Gate = THE BEST GOD DAMN GAME EVA and I'l smash anyone who says otherwise

    I haven't done it 20 times yet, but voted Excellent anyway as even 10 replays is excellent value for money.
