I didn't even think about playing them on the PS. Hmm seems like they are $50 for the pair. I'll keep looking into mods first. Looks like Beamdog forums are down and every google search I can find links to a beamdog forum post that is giving error 503. In the meantime I decided to do another Last of Us pt 1 run on the PS5 since I already own it (from PS3/4). I'm staying away from the abortion that is the PC version.
In watcher's keep in Baldur's Gate: Throne of Bhaal, you will get to fight a demon lord at the end of the dungeon.
He is in both. In BG1 you have to go looking for him. I wont spoil anything for BG2, but you should see him, even if you are speed running things (which is a silly way to play these games!).
I think the game is designed in a way that you need the XP from those quests if you want to get all the fun shit in Throne of Bhaal. It's better to fully play BG2/PST/FO2 and skip games like Icewind Dale, NWN1, POE, System Shock (...well, all the rest), than to try to get through them all by skipping a third of the game.
You should have encountered him already in Baldur's Gate I. He claims he is on his way to Icewind Dale lol.
If you do this in BG1 then encounter him again in BG2 while using them he attacks you lol.
These are all EET mods, which is the Enhanced Edition Trilogy. You need to own the enhanced editions of BG1, BG2, and SoD.

EET patches all 3 games together to try and make a seamless experience. It does change a couple of the rules for bg1 since it's running in BG2's engine (they changed weapon proficiencies, favored enemies, etc.).
Mod Compatibility List for EET
MOD COMPATIBILITY LIST FOR EET -- LINK TO THE LIST -- This compatibility list will be frequently updated. It is highly recommended that you follow what is said in the linked list if you are planning to make EET installation with mods. EET project aims to be a mod friendly platform and tries to ge...
Note that there are 2 categories in the list: mods that are compatible before you install EET, and mods that are compatible after you install EET. The list for before is short so I just do EET and pick from the after list.
Easiest way I did this was install EET, then download Project Infinity (you have to allow the app and process in Windows security: it thinks it's a Trojan). Inside Project Infinity are links to download the mods directly from the main websites.
The most time consuming part is putting together the WEIDU log with the mods in order. I had to look at several weidu logs and copy lines and put them before or after other mods based on how others set up their load orders.
Once I got past that part the game loaded up with no problems.
If you want to run someone else's modpack, you can download and use their weidu log, then download all the mods they're using and it should work fine. These two youtive links have weidu logs of their whole install order. I like the second one but you'll have to find the Made in Heaven (cant remember whats in it but i wish i got it) mod and I think Enhanced Extended Encounters (more bounty hunters after you in BG1 plus a few surprise encounters) which are on the PI list.
If you need any more help let me know. The instructions and process is pretty frustrating to decipher, and it took me a Saturday thinking about it and trial and error.
It's a big multiverse out there.
I think it's worth doing most of the quests and side quests in BG2. It's well written enough and the characters have enough charm to them. I wouldn't do the same for other RPG's.
