mimi_sardiniaOkay, so I wanted to reinstall BG2: SoA and ToB.
I had an error happen in the middle of it. Not just any error, a full fucking bluescreen (which totally strikes me as ironic because I recall once reading the first few chapters of a fic titled "Bluescreen" in the BG fandom - one where BG characters find themselves on Earth after a couple of players in a multiplayer game mutually crash).
Dammit, I want to play Blaise again!
I'll try again, but hell, if it happens again I am going to be right royally pissy!
Edit: Second try worked properly, now I just have to install all of the mods - there's 35 items in the C:\My Documents/BG/zip folder, but that does include the three Keepers (savegame editors - GateKeeper, DaleKeeper and ShadowKeeper). I have to sort through all the bits I have - Ascension goes on first, then the romances, then Tactics, Ease-of-Use and the item mods... Gah! Need to take a call from Nature first though, it's demanding back the hot lemonade and cold choc-coffee milk I've drunk.
Edit 2: Dammit, I think I am going to have to make a point of getting a backup hardrive after I have my PS2 and a memory card. I checked how much room was left after I'd finished installing SoA and ToB and it was showing around 12GB. Checked again after installing the mods, around 10GB. That's a lot of stuff in those mods!
And just so you know, out of all 35 zipfiles, only 4 were non-applicable and two were superfluous doubles of other mods.
However, now I just have to shift over copies of my favourite portraits and I can start building Blaise Draconis again (that name is so HP-inspired!). The only painful thing about playing Blaise is having to wait half the game for my chosen partner for him to appear (Solaufein).
