Hello!

I purchased the D&D Anthology which includes BG1, BG2, plus all the expansion packs, and Icewind Dale plus all the expansion packs. I'm having a bit of information overload regarding how to mod it correctly. I've followed instructions to install the BG2Fixpak, the BGT-weiDU, and the widescreen mod. It looks like everything is working to play BG1 by using the BG2 icon. My question is, is the expansion pack for BG1 now in the game? Having never played Tales of the Sword Coast, I'm not sure if it's just a new section on the map, or if I need to start with a different launcher. Same with BG2 expansions.

Also, is Icewind Dale a separate game or linked to BG1/BG2? Do I need to follow different instructions to mod them?

thanks!

TotSC integrates right into BG1, so no separate launcher for that one. The expansion for BG2 is a separate adventure though, but if you play with the Trilogy mod installed, you can seemlessly transition from BG2 right into Throne of Baal.

There's no connection between IWD and BG (other than using the same game engine). For mod instructions, check the excellent mod guide Here.
