Gydion: Not necessary.

shiffd: GOG version of VANILLA (doesn't come with mods that are absolutely necessary for the game to be any more enjoyable than shaving your testicles with a rusty butter knife) which is WINESKIN wrapped...so even if you don't install wine, if you play it on mac you are USING WINE.
No shit? My point was you don't need to install WINE. GOG version comes with it. I've lost all interest in this. Have fun paying for a native MAC version.

You've lost interest...because your only goal was to troll.

shiffd: Used macs can be ridiculously cheap. The apple tax doesn't happen at the used stage. Actually on the used market I find you can get better overall specs on a mac. Also macs tend to be available used because owners (like you are one) tend to be the type with a whole bunch of money they dump into their computer toys.

Seriously I have no interest whatsoever in playing vanilla versions of about 1/2 the games I bought on GOG. I have a hard time believing this isn't true for the same games for basically everyone else.

Jarmo: While the first part is true enough, I'd like to add I also bought my mac used. Not ridiculously cheap (I could have had new mini or low end imac for the same price) but it had been upgraded with SSD and better GPU, which helps when doing video editing.

I never find out beforehand if any game I buy from gog has fan patches. But yeah, once I know I wouldn't like to play Fallout 2 without killaps patch or ToEE without Co8. But I did play both Baldurs gates as they were, because I didn't see any super interesting mods right away.

One major problem with fanmods and GOG, btw, is how fan patches swipe stuff from other games all the time. Portraits, sounds, whatever is useful. While fans can get away with it (because they don't benefit financially), gog would be selling something they don't have rights to and could get into hot water real quick.

But yeah, I think I have to agree. Gog would do well to host some "essential" mods for the games that have such.
Actually, there seems to be a requested site feature for it already.

Voted.

Jarmo: Have you considered installing Windows through BootCamp or using Crossover?
avatar
shiffd: Crossover costs $60....And didn't work anyway (I used the trial)...super pain to use, not user friendly, not a pretty guI, not reliable, not compatible with all window software...just SOME....and they want $60 LOL.
Bootcamp costs money PLUS you have to PAY FOR WINDOWS....
<snip>
Um, I use a Mac and you most certainly do not need to pay for Bootcamp. Its free, its part of OS X. However yes you need to pay for Windows but that does only cost around $60 or whatever in your regional currency. Its basically sod all to be able to play the games at native performance.

As to the rest of your posts, it seems more like you are the one trolling/baiting people.

I do actually have a question for myself, as someone who hasn't yet played ToEE would it actually be better to start out with this mod and get a hang of the game/mechanics before then going to play the proper game?

I've started it but haven't gotten very far. Haven't even left the keep yet. 2-man party @ lvl 2. You can add/subtract PC's to the group by clicking on the Noticeboard in the Provisioner's Shop in the Keep.

One important thing people should know: When starting a new game, your party alignment must be either Lawful Neutral, Neutral Good or Neutral Evil AND you need at least 1 PC with a minimum of 3 Search skill. Any other party alignment or lack of Search skill won't allow you to leave the starting location (if you see a red "wrong alignment" message flash on screen as soon as you start, esc-quit the game and restart with one of the three I listed).

When the KotBL module is active, you can't access your custom PC's or any saved games from ToEE. But they are not erased, you just need to reactivate ToEE to be able to access them again.

OK, finished it. Didn't manage to solve all the quests though.
