Additional Comments

This is using EasyTutu, as opposed to just Tutu. Has to be run fullscreen in a wine-emulated desktop with maximum quality settings and 3D rendering, otherwise it won't work at all. This seems to be a problem with BGII, though, and not Tutu specifically. Also, had to copy the full contents of the CDs to one directory to install the base games, and had to apply the No-CD crack (before installing Tutu) because it wouldn't detect the CD. Other than those requirements, it is flawless. Very satisfying. Might want to consider an XP reducing mod, because without one you will end up with way too much XP at the end of the game (when you transfer to Shadows of Amn). Alternately, you could try soloing Shadows of Amn, in which case the amount of XP you get is a god-send.

Multiplayer can work, but requires some setup first.

The problem is with the current DirectPlay implementation. Read here how to set it up: http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames

To get multiplayer working for games that use a DirectPlay version prior to 8, place the following DLLs:
dplayx.dll, dpnet.dll, dpnhpast.dll and dpwsockx.dll in this archive in WINE's windows/system32 directory, then add DLL overrides (native,builtin) with WINECFG.
