Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

MagiK · 08-08-2012, 11:55 AM

For those with Nostalgia and fond memories... check out and pre-order at

http://www.baldursgate.com/

It will be on sale next month. They will then work on BG III
and possibly other Infinity Engine games like IWD.

Really looking forward to this! Do you know if mods made for the original BG will work with the enhanced edition? I'm sure I could find out through some forum crawling, but it's getting late

Anyway, will for sure purchase my all time favorite game!

From what I have read a LOT of the mods are incorporated along with the bug fixes etc. Also one of the main points to this enhanced version is to allow even more and easier modding for the games, they also have MANY of the people who developed the most popular mods working on the game with them.....so there is nothing I can see as a downside here...

Ok, BG2:EE is following closely on the heels of BG1:EE one report said it could be out before 2013 and the other said they are committed to releasing BG2:EE by 2013, Both games will use the Throne of Bhal Engine and all the character classes from BG2 and Kits are in BG:EE.....BG3 Will follow IF these two games are a success.

There will also be follow on DLC packs for the games after they release.

I haven't preordered yet but I most likely will this weekend. I have already uninstalled my existing BG/TotSC in anticipation of this release. I have been reading the forums there, keeping an eye on the bug and effect fixes. There should be very few problems with the EE.

A BG3 would be an amazing surprise, let's hope it reaches enough success to warrant the development of a third title to the franchise. I will do my part by pre-ordering this weekend

You have plenty of time to pre-order--the ship date got moved from 18 September to 30 November. Although it is a shame to have to wait an extra month-and-a-half, the date of 30 Nov is the same day that the original Baldur's Gate was released back in 1998--BGEE will ship on the 14th anniversary of BG.

I've got to admit, I've been looking forward to this for months. I think I heard about it about half a year back and have been dancing side to side since. Though the actual information about what it'll be like and what actually constitutes 'enhanced' have been pretty thin on the ground from what I've seen. Fingers crossed....

Go check out the forums for BGEE. When they say "enhanced" they mean tons of bugs fixed, previously-broken features now working correctly, new characters, new dialogue, new areas, with all the enhancements being applied to the BG2 engine.

Awesome. I'll definitely give it a try. Has there been an announcement on android release?
