Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition AMA @ Reddit

RPGWatch · Thu, 30th Aug '12, 1:30pm

The folks from Overhaul Games participated in another Reddit AMA, despite being Obama'd. Some eight or so Overhaul developers answered questions and here's a snip from Trent Oster:

I'm really hoping to break 500,000 copies across all platforms. It is a great game at a low price. I'll speculate with those numbers we could persuade the parties involved to do a BG3

Regardless of sales we are doing a BG2:EE. We've committed to it contractually. It might be three of us working out of a cardboard box, but we're committed to making it happen.

I think what makes this version better is the performance and graphical improvements, the new UI, the new content, the new music and VO. I think the inclusion of many mod fixes into the base product give a much better starting platform as well. I also think putting some mods on BG:EE will probably be the best experience you can have.

As well, our goal is to continue development to further support modders and the end users access to mods.

This is the upteenth time I have seen a reference to BG3 from this group. The forums for BGEE at Beamdog have many references to it as well.

With the advent of Kickstarter, anyone who got the licence to make it could easily do so simply through fan contributions. I'm sure it's just a matter of time now.
