Baldur's Gate Trilogy is a modification originally created by Bardez that aimed to achieve two major goals: to play Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast expansion using the much improved Baldur's Gate II engine, and to generate some kind of continuity between the events the Child of Bhaal experiences in the Sword Coast and subsequently Amn.

an experienced modder/gamer may have figured out already, stitching together a large number of modifications that affects all sorts of aspects of Baldur's Gate II and made by different authors generates many compatibility problems between the modifications. This arises because often the same files are patched and overwritten, meaning that one change replaces another and the original change disappears forever.

Bardez's Baldur's Gate Trilogy, BGT_MK3_112, became incorporated with the mega-modification known as The Big Picture, which combines a number of large modifications for Baldur's Gate II (The Darkest Day, Shadows over Soubar, and Tortured Souls) together in order to allow the gamer to play through all the major modifications at the same time.

Yes, you can take your characters from the original Baldur's Gate or from the expansion, Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast. Because there have been some changes to the rule set and character generation, you may have to reselect certain skills during the importing process. You can use either an exported character(s) or a saved game. All characters are brought up to 89,000 experience, the XP cap from Baldur's Gate, unless the character was from Tales of the Sword Coast.

No, beta testing will be done in house here at BioWare and in Interplay's Quality Assurance Department.

The game is roughly 10,000 game screens large (each is 512x384 pixels, in 640x480 resolution) and these screens scroll contiguously - you walk around and the ground scrolls under your character's feet, just as though you are watching them from 100 feet in the sky. A final playing time is still unknown, but it is probably close to 100+ hours of story, including subquests and side adventures.

No, each person has a limit to what he/she can carry (based on weight and strength of the individual characters) but there is also a group inventory. You don't need a bank in the game - the entire party keeps money so you don't have problems with weight of coins. Extra objects can be kept in the group pool or left on the ground, but sometimes NPCs or monsters may come around and help themselves if they find said objects left just anywhere...

Yes. The multiplayer and single-player games are actually based on the exact same story. The whole point of all of this is that we want to capture the feel of the old AD&D adventures, where you entered a campaign world with friends and adventured! The multiplayer game that we are creating is a simulation of the old AD&D sessions of our youth.

Currently the minimum requirement is a P120 with a 2meg video card and 16 Megs of RAM. This system spec plays VERY well and is not a minimum that says "I can boot the game up" but "I can actually play" system. You will notice definite improvements if you have a better system. With more RAM, you will see more varieties of animation on the screen at once; with more hard drive space, you will have to wait less for loading from the CD when you enter a new area.

The Baldur's Gate engine (The BioWare Infinity Engine) is real time but the game is pauseable and actions may be assigned to characters in your party at that time. This is just an option that a player may use if the action gets a little "out of hand." In general the AI scripting will permit easy control over the 6 character party with minimal need to resort to the turn-based mode.

It's a programmable, sample-based Virtual Bass Module software plug-in, which combines a massive 3.1 gigabyte core library with a powerful, yet easy to use interface and synth engine for manipulating the sounds, and creating your own original patches.

We have had several free updates already for LFO sync and platform compatibility. Exciting things are planned for the future, but no specific information has been officially announced yet. No. It uses the RAM in your computer, which is far less taxing on your system and allows for better and more reliable host integration.

It's completely dependent on your sound card. Most current quality sound cards have drivers that are very fast for real-time playing (as low as 1.5 ms).

Yes, there will be a detailed tutorial unrelated to the main story that will familiarize you with the interfaces and teach you how to control your party.

When you play Baldur's Gate II, you will arrive at the main menu where you would normally choose to play Shadows of Amn or Throne of Bhaal. Notice that the Shadows of Amn button has been replaced by a Baldur's Gate button. Click on this button, and then click Single Player, then New Game. This will take you to the character generation screen, where you will create a level 1 character or import an existing character. Your character will then start in Candlekeep.

Written by Robert Joseph Shea (1933 - 1994/03/10) and Robert Anton Wilson (1932/01/18 - ), the Illuminatus! Trilogy consists of The Eye in the Pyramid (1975) (ISBN), The Golden Apple (October 1975) (ISBN), and Leviathan (November 1975, January 1976, November 1977, May 1979) (ISBN: 0440147425). Originally published by Dell in 1975 as three separate paperbacks, but since, long available in one large 800+ page volume (ISBN: 0440539811).

Not without obtaining a license transfer from Spectrasonics. The sounds and software are licensed and registered ONLY to you. You cannot automatically transfer the license to someone else, and therefore you cannot simply sell it used. If you do attempt to sell it used without obtaining a license transfer, the buyer will not be able to use the product because it is registered and licensed to you. The Trilogy license is the right given to a single person to use the instrument.

The custom UVI engine we use can handle any sample rate/bit rate up to 192k, 32 bit. This gives us the flexibility to use the highest rate necessary to capture the best quality sound on a sample by sample basis...so you always get the best possible sound, with the optimum memory efficiency.

BioWare Corp is the developer for Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. BioWare Corp developed Baldur's Gate, Tales of the Sword Coast, and created the Bioware Infinity Engine. Black Isle Studios is the publisher for all of these titles and is developing both Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment using the Bioware Infinity Engine. Bioware Corp and Black Isle Studios have been and will continue to work together very closely on these titles.

Not at all. Of course, we've worked hard to make sure that Trilogy comes with an amazing library of sounds...but it can very easily be used as a catalyst for your own creations. The whole idea is to combine powerful flexibility with an easy to use interface. You can easily create and manipulate your own sounds using the core library as a starting point for your own explorations.

Trilogy is a virtual sound module, not a sampler. It doesn't import or load samples other than its own core library. The interface and software exist to manipulate this particular sound set and because of this, we have been able to keep the interface very streamlined and easy to use. There are many good options for software samplers to import and load AKAI sample libraries or AIFF/WAV/SF2 files, etc.

Yes, this is OK unless you want to put samples created with Trilogy directly encoded into the game. That requires an additional license. No. It's very important to know that each composer must have his or her own copy and license for Trilogy. We make regular checks to verify that large production studios have obtained the proper licenses for our instruments and sample libraries. No. The standard license to use Trilogy is only granted to the buyer.

Not unless they are a licensed user. They will need their own serial number and registration to be licensed to use the instrument. It’s not actually unusual at all or even unique to Spectrasonics. In fact, this is the identical type of license agreement used by thousands of sample libraries, virtually all sample-based virtual instruments and the vast majority of music software.

No, the lifetime license fee to use the samples is covered in the purchase price of the instrument. You can use it on as many of your own projects as you like and we hope that you make some hits with it!
