jcompton: That is how the original BG, and Planescape: Torment were shipped and officially remained, yes. It sounds like people are saying that GOG's version, like the original, is only playable at 640x480.
The other Infinity titles (BG2 and the two Icewind Dales) either shipped with higher resolutions available, or were officially patched later to support a range. Note that even then the resolutions are fixed selections (and tend to be 4:3) so the widescreen mods are still useful if you want to use 1920x1080, 1024x600, and other now-common desktop/laptop resolutions.

thelovebat: Just curious, what's the point of modding such a great game as this? Granted, I just bought it and started playing it for the very first time today, but I'm just curious why people would want to mod it. Another small question, what's the point of a widescreen patch anyway? Does it serve some purpose, or make the aspect ratio better? I say that because Baldurs Gate looks just fine on my 1080p monitor.

thelovebat: I don't know man, Baldurs gate along with Planescape Torment both look just fine on my computer without any modding...maybe my monitor is just special.

Cliftor: JCompton... jcompton... your name sounds so familiar. Who are you, another IE modder? Maybe planetbaldursgate?
Cliftor: Quite possible; is it a CRT? CRTs do a much better job of scaling pixels.
