Without a doubt the most comprehensive mod when it comes to post-release QA and visuals, 1pp has been a growing work of love for close to 8 years with the aim of providing a refined, polished experience with attention to detail that many felt was lacking in some aspects of Baldur's Gate II compared to its predecessor.

 

1ppv4 represents the culmination of this effort, bringing together the various previously disjointed graphical and mechanical tweaks and components that have accumulated over the years and many more besides; updated, streamlined and in the form of one coherent installer.

Good morning, afternoon, or whatever time it may be where you rest

Are you feeling excited? With the impending release of BG:EE news have circulated about 1pp's inclusion. I am not only happy to confirm these reports, but also to be in a position where I can give you a taste of what is to come, just in case you should not be suitably excited as yet. How about... oh, I don't know, a release candidate for 1ppv4?

(yes, let us pretend v3 happened in an orderly fashion)


Without further ado, have a gander at this component list:

Now take a look at those three screenshots:
(and see if you notice anything different. here is a hint: the vast majority of content has never been publically released before )









But I kid you.

Screenshots are inadequate in light of this eight-years-in-coming monstrosity of moddidity and I would never dream of insulting you.


So sit back while you download and head over here for the one time chance to... see me click a bunch of stuff on screen? But also the mod. Whichever you prefer. All you need to do is answer the following riddle and type in the one-word answer (to prove your desert). It goes thusly:

What must one gather before venturing forth?

And just in case you were too excited by the prospect of seeing a poorly recorded screen capture to notice the link above, here it is again:

Known issues:

- Possible incompatibilities between the spell tweaks component (individualised armour effects) and some other mods? (if in doubt/causing issues, remove or skip the component for now)

- Scale shields now have their own animations
- Fixed GUI overlap on low resolutions
- Improved carried/description images


*awkward emotional wave to all of you*

Can't believe it. Eight years since v1, and here we are. Thank you for sticking with BG, and me.
