<p>The Lore From Learning mod is designed to work with the original or Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate or Baldur's Gate II, with or without their various expansions, and including nthe conversion projects BGT, EET, or Tutu. While the mod will not currently work for Icewind Dale, support is planned for future versions. </p>

<p>In terms of installation order, Lore From Learning should generally be installed after any NPC mods. The mod utilizes the main character's "dream script" (the script that triggers events at rest periods) which is also sometimes used by mods NPCs. By installing it after mod NPCs it ensures that the lore trigger/rewards will be weighted lower than romance or other NPC-related events. </p>

Following that, open a terminal, cd to your game installation directory, run tolower and answer Y to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lowercased file names. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe bet.</p>

<p>The Lore From Learning is broken down into more targeted components for the player. However, they all work on the same mechanic: at every rest, your main character will have some time to read books, talk with their party, etc. It is during these rest periods where lore triggers will be evaluated and, if appropriate, bonuses awarded. The specific details about triggers are deliberately vague so as not to spoil, however, full details are posted on the <ahref="https://www.gibberlings3.net/forums/forum/28-miscellaneous-released-mods/">forum</a>, specifically in <ahref="https://www.gibberlings3.net/forums/topic/32777-spoilers-mechanics-of-the-lore-from-learning-mod/">this thread</a> (spoilers). </p>

As the player adventures through the Sword Coast and beyond they find many history books. As the player reads these books they can earn bonuses for learning the history of the broader world. A handful of books will provide greater bonuses than others. However, there is a maximum amount of lore you can earn from books. </p>
Given how much time you spend with them, the party can be a wealth of information. This component provides some minor rewards for traveling, long-term, with a party with a diverse set of backgrounds, specifically, of many different race and class combinations. </p>
The player will gain lore knowledge as they adventure and defeat monsters. Specifically, lore bonuses can be earned by defeating many different types of monsters. </p>
