๐น 1. What is Rebirth?
Rebirth is a full Total Conversion (TC) mod for Baldurโs Gate II: Enhanced Edition set in the kingdom of Cormyr. It introduces a completely new storyline, characters, areas, and challenges within the Forgotten Realms.
๐น 2. How do I install the mod?
We'll let you know as soon as it is released. We are not there yet!
๐น 3. Is the mod voice-acted?
Currently, no. There are no big plans for voice acting due to costs.
๐น 4. How long is the campaign?
Depending on your playstyle:
-
Main story: ~15โ20 hours
-
Side content: up to 30+ hours
- Baldur's Gate 1 style wandering through the Realms, up to you to explore as much as you like
๐น 5. What level do I start at?
You start at Level 1, but the leveling curve is adjusted to fit the new world and encounters. Expect a gradual increase through story chapters.
๐น 6. Can I import my BG2 character or save?
No. This is a standalone experience, player starting at Level 1. You must start a new character created specifically for this modโs world and mechanics.
๐น 7. Is it compatible with other mods?
The mod is a total conversion, meaning it replaces the base game. It is not compatible with most other mods unless explicitly stated. Avoid installing it alongside quest mods, NPC mods, or rule overhauls.
๐น 8. Is this another Chapter in the Bhaalspawn Saga?
No. But it's best to let you find yourself once it's released. You could call it a spin-off.
๐น 9. What is this game closer to?ย
The idea is to have a game in the spirit of Baldur's Gate 1, containing a fully explorable countryside and lots of opportunity to interact outside the main plot. So, expect lots of wilderness encounters, a rich plot, and a fully explorable Suzail with cobbled streets that reek of Baldur's Gate nostalgia.
๐น 10. What about NPCs? Romances?
This is the stuff of Baldur's Gate 2. There will be lots of NPCs available, but no romances or NPC - related quests, as the aim is to recreate the BG1 feel.
๐น 11. What about Dragons? Will there be Dragons...?
Yes!
๐น 12. What about Purple Dragon...?
...Knights! The story will feature lots of Cormyrian role, especially in regards to Purple Dragon Knights.
๐น 13. When will it be released?
Probably sometime during Q2 of 2026. Check the [Development] (to be added) section for updates, changelogs, and upcoming content.
๐น 14. Will multiplayer be supported?
Currently, the mod is designed for single-player only. Multiplayer has not been tested and may cause issues.
๐น 15. I think Companion portraits are AI-generated - please don't!
Very perceptive of you for noticing. Any AI generated stuff is used as scaffolding and will be replaced in due time. This doesn't mean we are against AI or that the project is advertised as a "no AI in videogames" initiative. Also bear in mind this is not a commercial video game (BG2 is), this is a fan-made mod.
๐น 16. Does this mean 0% AI?
No, simply because no AI checker is reliable enough to give you a true score, and most don't give absolutes anyway. Most tools out there have in-built AI capabilities, e.g. using Grammarly to get nice cool suggestions for your texts will make the score of a sentence go up.
