Seems like BWS do not recognize TDD zip files or something? It always says it failed in extracting. When the option to manual extract appear the setup decided to open Adrian-NPC file in winrar.

 

Definitely how much content (mostly care about encounters, quest, companion) i can play without crashing. The last time I do BW installation was like 7 years ago and I just want to play Big World BG again.

 

I do play SoD without mods, but I inherently dislike how Beamdogs writer try to "fix" the characters so it is not really important for me for my overall experience because I just consider it as a slightly big mod.

On these conditions I would say the EET is the better choice since the integration of all game parts is more consistent and continuous and many of the quest and encounter mods have been updated in a way that makes it more of ONE game and experience. When you use some mods like EET_Tweaks with it, you get an overall good balance of difficulty vs. experience game. There have been a lot of enhancements in this direction even in older mods you may have used in BGT.

 

You also get a larger choice of new NPCs that are more interactive and individual than the older ones.

 

With respect to SoD - yes, in EET this is part of the flow of the story and you cannot skip it. But meanwhile many NPCs from BG1 can be taken into the extension and have additional content there, some new have been added. SoD within the EET context works far different than playing it in the original format, because it is integrated into the larger game. You do not even need to care about those SoD NPCs if you do not like them.

 

This is just my personal view and it comes from a player who has played BGT for countless times in the past and with similar preferences like you.

 

PS - maybe it is a good time to try EET now, before the bean dogs make it unusable with their 2.5 patch?

Nah, the actual new characters are actually fine. I just dont like what Ambers did with the old BG1 characters in SoD.

But you convinced me, will need to buy the BG2EE for it, but fuck it lets do this.

Additionally, is there any mod available in BW or otherwise to revert what Beamdog did to the UI. I like the stylized UI of Old BG better.

In gengeral in term of content right now is original trilogy big world or EET big world has more content?

Depends on how you would count that?

- number of available mods

- amount of content playable at one time without conflicts or crashes

- playing hours

- ......

 

There are different ways of looking at it. For example EET has the whole Dragonspear extension and all the big mods, while BGT may have NEJ....etc
