    This truly is the ultimate Baldur's Gate mod, it encompass pretty much every major modification and new content from the past 8 years. Full install comes out to an astonishing 9.47 GB. I swear an additional few NOVELS worth of dialog and banter have been added to the game, it's such a reconciliation to see all this new content. I've modded my installs and played through (what I thought) was every aspect of this game and it's side-kicks. I never thought I'd get addicted to this game again, guess I was wrong... :D

    It is really great stuff. I personally hold to the "less is more" approach, creating targetted, small installs, but this multi-international-community-based project has really done a great job of careful and comprehensive engagement with several modding communities. If you want a bunch of new content all at once on the same game, Leomar's crew can make it happen, and provide step by step detailed instructions, an installer, and active support in several languages.

    I actually made a thread about this a couple weeks back. I's pretty fun, especially getting to see all those older mods again.

    But in my opinion, there's not enough balance, at least not in the BG1 part of the game. DSOTSC and NSOTSC were meant as add-ons if you weren't planning on going to BG2. It's almost impossible to start at a reasonable level if you do everything there is in BG1. I think I was lvl 5 before I even entered the Nashkel mines, something I usually do at lvl 2.

    So in short, yeah definaly fun and refreshing, but there's some caveats as well.
