What do you think would be better for a first time blind playthrough of Baldur's Gate - vanilla or BGT/Tutu?
I installed both Baldur's Gate games and was going to install either BGT or Tutu that make BG1 run in BG2's engine, but the more I read on it the more I started second guessing myself. With the proficiency differences between the two games, apparently you can screw yourself over a bit if you build your characters with proficiencies for weapons that aren't going to be available until the very end of BG1. Since the mods don't apparently put more weapon variety into BG1 to make up for the new changes. Apparently modding it onto BG2's engine will also ramp up the difficulty, especially at lower levels? There's also the EE version which apparently have fixed their bugs, but that presents some of the same issues.
Anyway, what do you guys think?

Vanilla you shit dick.
BGT/Tutu is fine if it's not your first time.
Avoid EE like the plague.
There are plenty of guides that recommend which mods to use to fix all the "problems" with the games if that's the only reason you want to use BGT/Tutu

Be nice.
But yes, I totally agree. Vanilla only first time.
The only games that that may need updates are "incomplete" games like Fallout 2.

also EE version adds a whole bunch of stuff that changes the flavor of the game

It's hard to be nice to post-millennials that don't know the cardinal rule for playing older games for the first time.

It makes kiting harder; but that's about it. This is offset by the fact that BG is just...wonky (random shit can happen such as the golem in the mage tower just deciding to kill you just because) and also slower movement means more time for the archers all through the game to shoot you.

Thanks, I'll just stick with EE ^_^

Install every single recommended mod using the mega-mod installation guide (300+ page PDF).
Be a real man. I had a full modded installation at one point, shit was like 21 GB. There was this wizard bitch just standing around in the inn at Beregost and she'd summon fucking balors and pound my ass at low level. Nice balance.

Fuck you piece of shit REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Nevermind, looks like Beamdog took out Spellhold Studios with legal action, and replaced everything at Sorcerer's with "Enhanced Edition" shilling rather than info and links for modding the game(s).
Was good while it lasted. Shame to see hundreds of thousands of hours of work by The Community get destroyed. But they need their shekels.

Without EE you can't play Siege of Drangspear which is GOAT
>>3325795
They had a harddrive crash and are working on restoring the site from backups.

It's not GOAT if it uses false edition rules like Heart of Winter, Icewind Dale 2, and ToB. Anything from 3E and on is false. Only True AD&D makes for proper games.

>which is GOAT
Why would you lie like that?
