    Anyone played the newly (?) released 3cd set of Bg1, Baldur's Gate: Original Saga?

    I have the 5 cd set, but I've heard good things about the 3cd set. Anyone have any *good* comments on OS?

    What is the difference, if I may inquire. That is, other than the fact that it is on 3 CDs.

    No difference at all. Only that it comes with the patches installed.

    I had heard they updated the gfx engine to run at 800x600 with some improved spells.

    I would think that it would still be the same game only with 3 discs and all patches.

    Heh, if they updated it to 800x600 I'd buy and replay it, but as people have told you, no such luck.

    [​IMG] I picked it up about 4-5 months ago because on my 5 disc set, CD's 1 and 2 went south. The only problem I have is the game crashing once in a while. I just have to remember to save often. It is nice to have just three CDs rather than 6, (5 BG & 1 TOTSC). :thumb:
