If you're happy with BG.EE great. And if you want this for a tablet, I might change my tune. But I'm totally happy that I avoided spending even a modest 20$ on a poorly done, rehashed version of a 14 year old PC game that doesn't correct a lot of original problems. For the PC version, I'm not buying it.

You are completely correct, which is why they are starting to get raked over the coals about it all. When I have started the game each day for the last three successive days there has been a minor patch applied before the game begins. I believe that qualifies as "insane". My suspicion is that they rushed to release this for PC so they could get it all fixed before releasing for their true target market for mobile device users. The primary complaints are still buggy/choppy video and audio, insufficient monster spawns, difficulty selecting party members, and that weird "ranged weapon users charging into close quarters combat" (I have seen the script that causes that and chuckled to myself when the error jumps out at you).

No, if you haven't bought it or you are not interested in making the game "your own" via personalized edits then don't buy it--save your money. I never got Tutu so I never got to play BG in the BG2 engine so this is totally new to me--I like it, bugs and all (especially since I can fix many of them). As I noted elsewhere I never even played Planescape!

I am still working my way through Fallout 3, as well--yes, I know, I am behind the times--but I am also waiting for Wasteland 2 (due next October--it won't be buggy like BGEE).

Interestingly, they are still moving ahead with trying to update SoA and ToB. If BGEE continues to flounder, they may not get the opportunity.
