New Game engine for baldurs gate (like tutu)

 :)Subject = different game engines used for baldurs gate (like tutu)

Hi hows it going guys. Clocked baldurs gate 1 with tutu a few years back and it was far more fun then the original. Been playing Nevewinter nights2 recently and found the game engine to be unbeleaveable diverse. Not only were there a tons of races to choose from the amount of classes u could choose and multi class with  was endless. All it lacked was an awesome story line and the ability to do whatever u wanted like u could in baldurs gate. Was talking to a friend and apparently icewandale 2 has a very similar game engine in terms of caracter customization (to bad the game itself is rather boreing due to no npc to join u and set story). Was curious if u could use that game engine on baldurs gate? I dont pretend to know much about sofware or the difficulties involved but if it is possible it would be an awesome way to play the game. Look forward to hearing from u guys.

This has been attempted, in the form of Icewind Gate. In fact, the IWG project predated and enabled Tutu. However, IWG didn't work very well, because of the various differences between the engines.

If by game engine, it's new stuff you are looking for, there are plenty of mods out there designed to work for TuTu.

The Modlist is a good place to start; there is even a separate category for BG1 TuTu mods.
