Zo'Garth

Well, I finished my Mega-Mod install with the updated Mods, and so far so good   .   One thing I'm trying different is that i'm using the full tactics mod.  I chose not to install those components in the Big Picture and used the Tactics instead.   All i've got to say is i'm not sure what the difference is, but is it                 HARD!  I mean i'm getting my butt handed to me starting off in I's dungeon and then N's Keep.  I'm using my character from the Mega-Mod BG1, which is of course more powerful than the vanilla BG1 character.  Was there a major update in Tactics since Horred incorported it?  I've actually had to turn down the difficulty level, and do some actual thinking about each character's ability in order to win most battles, even then only after multiple reloads.  NOTE: I am getting better, and even though I hate losing, it has been a humbling experience to bring me back to the basics after all these years.  

Just started a new BG game with the updated mods.  Started out fine, ROT cutscreen no problem, but after I saved and then reloaded my game the intro movie started.  At the end of the movie, it faded away like usual, but then left me with the dreaded screen with no contol or icons.

While battling Kangaxx, Aerie got mazed and now I can't leave area, been waiting for a while but still no show.

I read that using the tactics mod first and then skipping over the BP177 versions might be better.  Any truth to this?

I tried to start a multiplayer game for BG2 but there doesn't seem to be an option for it.  When i start a multiplayer game it only starts off in BG1
