Best version

The GOG.com version is pre-patched for modern systems and includes the expansion. Older versions, such as the original release, may have issues running on newer machines. Avoid the Dungeons & Dragons Classic Anthology, as it not only has issues installing on newer operating systems but also will not work with Baldur's Gate Tutu or Baldur's Gate Trilogy.

If you plan to install Baldur's Gate and use the BG1Tutu Template:CitadelFile mod you should have no problems doing so. Please refer to the Baldur's Gate Combined Installation.
