The game originally only supported 4:3 resolution modes. I'm using a widescreen MOD that allows a larger playfield to be displayed on the screen. The MOD creates letterboxes for inventory and other such screens. I would had recorded the enhanced edition version, because it's optimized for (and only allows) a widescreen resolution. However, I begun recording this game in 2013, long before the enhanced edition was released. I had made decent progress, but the project was shelved due to upgrading my computer. Finishing the longplay hasn't been a high priority for me, until recently when I dug up my old save files and reinstalled the game. There aren't many changes in the enhanced edition compared to original. For example cutscenes have not been remade, but resized from original 4:3 videos. Also, for some reason there doesn't appear to be an option to enable subtitles for cutscenes.

All nonspoken dialogue is browsed quickly to avoid wasting video. In addition to conversations, item and spell descriptions can be read by using the magical pause key. In addition, some inventory management and backtracking of previously explored areas was edited from the video. Sometimes, the party teleports into a shop selling loot and then back to a dungeon etc. even though there's no "town portal" spell. -
