I'm already playing BG1 EE Reloaded and it is great fun. Nice to see such a great rpg with new life breathed into it. As for my issue with BG2, I uninstalled it and went to GOG because I found a decent thread on what mods to use and in what order to install them. I used a bg fixes mod, the BGT mod instead of tutu and widescreen mod. I also installed TOB right after SOA and then modded. I really don't know which one fixed it, but the Quick Slot for spells is now functional. I have a Samsung 244T monitor and widescreened the game @ 1280x800 which was a res recommended by someone in the forum over there. It's beautiful to see. I've had no glitches so far and I've not had to play in compatibility mode so far. Glad I got BG2 out to install it. I had forgotten what came in the box, but it was so nice to have such a great manual in hand to read away from the PC. I hope they "Reload" BG2 as well...... Diane
