What we asked:

Q: Which of the games (and their expansions) covered on SP would you most like to see made into a movie?
(555 votes total)

Baldur's Gate II (205) 37%
Planescape: Torment (193) 35%
Baldur's Gate (88) 16%
Neverwinter Nights (25) 5%
Icewind Dale II (22) 4%
Icewind Dale (16) 3%
Pool of Radiance: RoMD (6) 1%

In accordance with my expectations due the fact that the overwhelming majority of our visitors have (only) played Baldur's Gate II, it has received the most votes (37%) in favour of it being made into a movie. Though considering the fact that the game itself is a sequel, I would say making it into a movie over the original Baldur's Gate would be a bit... strange.

My personal favourite is the runner-up, with 35% of votes. I was pleasantly surprised that so many people voted for Planescape: Torment, despite the fact that it is (unfortunately), one of the less played games covered on SP. I suppose this just goes to show how we all loved its story.

The original Baldur's Gate, the one that started it all, received only 16% of votes. Which is a bit ironic, since if Baldur's Gate II should be made into a movie, the original Baldur's Gate would have to be the first one on the list.

Neverwinter Nights, the next in the line, was supported with 5% of the poll participants' votes. Certainly very easily translatable into a movie I'd say, if nothing else...

Icewind Dale II received 4% of votes, closely followed by the original Icewind Dale with 3% of votes. We could say the majority here agreed that there is not much content suitable for movies here...

The last (unsurprisingly), is Pool of Radiance: RoMD with 1% of votes.
