INTRODUCTION
Thank you for downloading Baldur’s Gate: Reloaded! In 1998, my life was forever changed when I left the walls of Candlekeep with
my character’s foster father, Gorion, in
Baldur’s Gate.
From that moment forward, I fell deeply in love with the game and sank
hundreds of hours into it. While I began playing (and immensely enjoying) other RPGs after
Baldur’s Gate,
the game will always have
a special place in my heart. Nothing replaces the epic feeling of adventure as exploring the Sword Coast with a cast of incredible
characters.
This project started in October 2006, when the
Neverwinter Nights
2 Toolset was released a month early to those who preordered
the game. I had previously began remaking
Baldur’s Gate
for
Neverwinter Nights 1,
but quickly gave up after finishing the Prologue
as I felt the Toolset was just too limiting and wouldn’t be able to do the original game justice. I recall seeing video demonstrations of
the
NWN2
Toolset and being completely in-awe. This was the toolset that was perfect for me; this was the toolset that was perfect
for
Baldur’s Gate,
I remember thinking. From that point forward, production galloped forward for nearly seven years. The team size
grew and waned, but it was not until Shallina joined the project several years after its start that the project really steamed ahead.
It’s really due to the involvement of Shallina that this project was ever to see completion, or at least at the quality level achieved, a
fact for which I am forever in debt.
I hope you enjoy playing Baldur’s Gate: Reloaded as much as I had fun creating it. I hope that maybe—just maybe—it can recapture
a bit of that something—that
feeling--that Baldur’s Gate
had. If we manage to recapture any of that, I think we succeeded. Feel free
to drop me a line

Welcome back to Candlekeep.

INSTALLATION
Installation of
Baldur’s Gate: Reloaded
is a relatively simple process. This section will provide detailed steps for installing this
module.
REQUIREMENTS
You must have the following installed:
Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer
Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir
OVERVIEW
The downloadable file includes a number of different directories, all of which should line-up with your NWN2 directory in your “My
Documents” directory. This structure includes:
Campaign Directory
o
Contains files that are used by the entire campaign and also “holds” all the modules together into a single game
Hak files
o
Contains several “hak” files which include all manner of custom content, including custom heads, creatures,
banners, weapons, voice, etc.
Modules
o
Contains all the “mod” files which are basically containers for groups of areas, items, creatures, scripts, etc.
Movies
o
Contains all movies from
Baldur’s Gate
game in Bink format, as well as a new intro sequence and end-game credits
Music
o
Contains all original music from
Baldur’s Gate
UI
o
Contains all original item icons from
Baldur’s Gate
Miscellaneous
o
.TLK files that enable custom content to function properly
o
NOTE: Some have experienced issues with not having the .tlk files in the corresponding folder. I’ve included them
in both ways because it seems to fix this issue.
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Remove all custom content from both Override folders as this will cause conflicts with the game (NOTE: by default, these
folders should be empty). Most custom content has been included in
Baldur’s Gate: Reloaded,
so there’s a good chance
your favorite mod has been included anyway.
a. Location 1 (Install Directory): e.g. …
Program Files/Atari/Neverwinter Nights 2/override
or
Program Files
(x86)/Atari/Neverwinter Nights 2/override
b. Location 2 (My Documents): e.g. …
My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/override
Download and install WinRAR (http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0) in order to unpack the
Baldur’s Gate:
Reloaded
download.

2.
3.
Download all 6 parts of the download (Please note that when the file saves, it saves as “Do Not Download – Part x…” –this is
due to the website renaming the file to what it was originally named; don’t worry, it’s the right file and you should be
downloading it!).
Locate the
Baldur’s Gate: Reloaded
downloads in your “Downloads” folder: e.g.
C:\Users\<username>\Downloads
4.
5.
Open the .RAR file (NOTE: each one will have a list of different directories, though some may repeat across different
archives).
