  1. if you want to play bg1 with the bg2 engine AND with the widescreen mod, you should google baldur's gate tutu. after succesfully installing bg1 and bg2 FULLY, you can make BG1 a prelude to BG2 in ONE game. boy, when i played it again... i rolled a half elf ranger/cleric and tried to solo the entire game. it worked (but you have to knw the game and the maps a bit to lvl up the char to decent lvl before you get OP). when i started game at widescreen at 1280x800 i was like...
    they can be played widescreen now on widescreen lcd without the usual distortion you get when switching resolutions on lcd.. the widescreen mod works for all games like BG, including planescape torment and icewind dale and 2.

    rly folks, planescape torment is the best isometric rpg you can play. REALLY RECOMMENDED to give it a try. it won't look 'old' or 'dated' this way...

    here is link on how to mod it as if it came out now. it has detailed insall instructions that you have to follow to the letter.

    if you want idea what it will look like here's a youtube link. nothe that in reality the game won't stutter so much.. especially if you adapt the ini file to go from 30fps to 40 fps.

    note that you can play both games in 1920x1080 too, but you will likely need an extra UI mod then to make fonts and all bigger. and everything will look tiny..

    if you got a CRT like me, you can play with any 4:3 resolution you like without the scren getting distorted...
    word of warning: baldur's gate 1 and 2 give HUNDREDS of hours of gameplay if you want to explore all and everything. bit less for planescape and icewind dale. so lock up the wife or send the man to pub for a few weeks when you try this. its VERY addictive.

    p.s. i'm looking into FALLOUT widescreen mod and general modding community there.. imagine fallout like this!
