This update adds the option of having full music throughout the Baldur’s Gate series, and incorporates the majority of the Dudleyville fixes. On the bug fixes side, this update should permanently fix issues with Jaheira and Viconia among other minor bug fixes. Unless there are major issues with this version, this release is likely to be the final major release of BGT-WeiDU.

Changes from BGT-WeiDU v1.07 are available here.

Introduction

The Rogue Rebalancing mod is a gameplay modification for Baldur’s Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal which strives to bring Bards and Thieves closer to their Pen and Paper counterparts. It works on normal Baldur’s Gate II games as well as either of the two Baldur’s Gate conversion projects: (Easy)Tutu and Baldur’s Gate Trilogy (BGT). The mod is divided into multiple components which can all be installed separately and are completely independent of each other.

New in v4.3

In summary, this update introduces a more thorough revision of the Assassin kit, makes some minor adjustments to the Bounty Hunter and Jester kits and adds several non-violent options for dealing with law enforcers after a failed theft attempt. A more detailed list of changes can be found here.

Originally a mod for easyTuTu by Macready, Ascension64 has ported Hard Times to the BGT platform!

“One thing that’s always bothered me about Baldur’s Gate is that even with everything that’s going on within the game, the Sword Coast region doesn’t really feel like it’s in crisis. Sure, all of the commoners and townsfolk talk a good game about iron shortages and the like, but any time that you walk into a store, metal gear can be had for very reasonable prices. Even magical items are readily purchased in stores! And the problem of ubiquitous magic equipment is exacerbated by all of the freebies that the game throws at you early on (now made obvious by Throne of Bhaal’s TAB key highlighting). You are supposed to feel like a sheltered kid thrust suddenly into a hostile world with only the clothes on his or her back, but with the easily obtainable “presents” to be had early in the going, you are empowered to afford the finer things in life before you’ve even reached the Friendly Arm for the first time.”

All BGT related support must be posted in the BGT forum.

With thanks to ilot, Shed’s NPC Yikari has received an Italian translation!

Yikari is a NPC for BG2 - SoA (ToB required). He is a monk from Kara-Tur and can be found in the Temple District in Athkatla. He is Lawful Neutral, highly wise, but not all that intelligent. He knows he’s a perfectly competent fighter, but doesn’t pick fights with other NPCs. He is used to a chain of command, and will accept the PC’s decisions without much trouble. Yikari tries not to anger anyone, but he’s no walkover. He just is so efficient that he never get into a fight if he doesn’t have to. He often tries teaching NPCs the benefits of self-control, and all the stuff he learnt in his monastery. He is a visitor to the sword coast and many things seem strange to him. He cannot help regarding everyone (except Yoshimo) as foreigners.
