Which are you more excited for? - Page 2

Can't say I favour any of them over the other. Apart from the new content (likely minimal), I'm mostly looking forward to their effect on the community and the possible completely new game they mention ("bg3").

Sitting at over 100 playthroughs (who knows, maybe close to 300) and currently getting ready to play through the BG series one more time in anticipation of the BG/BG2 EE releases :P

Is it telling that I've only played a class outside of paladin or fighter three times in these series?

I play as a wizard, without fail :P.

Damn. 100 playthroughs. Thats ALOT. I think I have only finished the game 5 times or so. Shame on me, I guess.

Hello everyone, so whats this about an Enhanced BG and BGII ???. This for real or a leg pulling.

Defo looking forward to this if its for real. Played BGII in 1920*1080 and in 3D to ill defo give it another good play through if we get an Enhanced version.

Is there a release date for any of these games.

Taluntain · Thu, 31st May '12, 6:03pm

Supposedly this summer, but I wouldn't be surprised if that gets pushed nearer to the end of the year.

Gafgorkion · Sat, 2nd Jun '12, 3:03am

Yeah, they have always said it would be done this summer, and remember summer actually goes until September 21 so there is still quite a bit of time left.

Arcane · Fri, 22nd Jun '12, 6:56am

BG1 definitely!
- You didn't need some random character to mark a location on your map you could go anywhere you wanted (excluding bandit camp and cloakwood)
- Had more interesting side quests (who doesn't remember ruffie and the demon)
- Characters that joined your party were more interesting and humorous. The nutcase Tiax who for some reason could summon a ghast, no BG2 character could do that!
- The paper dolls in BG1 were more realistic, BG2 leather made them look like they were on steroids.

I could go on but these are the more important points.

Sir Belisarius · Sat, 23rd Jun '12, 12:08am

Will we be able to play these on a pc? I thought they were only available on an iPad...

Taluntain · Sat, 23rd Jun '12, 2:23am

Pretty much all major platforms, PC and Mac included. I think the iPad is just the primary target audience, at least marketing-wise. If you search our news forums you'll find a ton of details on the enhanced editions.

Sir Belisarius · Sun, 24th Jun '12, 11:33pm

There's a news forum??!?!?!??

Taluntain · Mon, 25th Jun '12, 2:16am

I hope that was a joke, I really do...

Well, Sir Belisarius location is: "If there is a bright center of the universe, I'm in the city it's farthest from!", so yeah, not much news reaches that city at the edge of the universe, and by the time it get's there, it's old. For some old news: there's a vanilla version of Baldur's Gate and some people made mods for it

Topken · Sun, 15th Jul '12, 11:05am

If they allow you a choice to play either BG1 or BG2 like tutu or BGT does with a single .exe file that would make it so you did not have to chose and I wonder if they have permission to create a connecting arc between the 2 like BGT does.

Nakia · Thu, 23rd Aug '12, 3:09am

BG2 I enjoyed both games and both can benenfit from updated graphics. I really liked ToB. I liked the interaction of the characters in BG2 more and I also feel that BG I was more linear. I played BG 2 a lot more than BG 1. BG 2 just appealed to me more. Seemed more intricate, more challenging.

Daie d'Malkin · Sat, 15th Sep '12, 6:56pm

I voted BG2. Thing is, I'm wondering how moddable it is likely to be. I have to admit, I don't play unmodded Baldur's Gate anymore, 1 or 2. I *really* hope we can get some awesome mods up and running quickly.
