Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition has over 350k words of new content

@lathrael @ARKofEREH @CommodoreRaslin @lathrael @ARKofEREH @CommodoreRaslin I would prefer an ending that makes sense in the context. Viconia has said all game that she wants power and Drow, in general, tend to respect and seek power, but when I become a god she suddenly doesn't want the kind of power that would entail? It doesn't make any sense! Also, as an evil alignment character it seems highly unlikely that she would disapprove of the dark nature of the god I would become.

The other option that is currently available makes even less sense! By the time ToB ends, Viconia is a very high level cleric, yet if I choose not to become a god, someone kills her with poison. Poison is something that clerics could easily deal with since BG1. Viconia would certainly have the spell to cure herself after ToB and/or an antidote potion and even if by some perfectly aligned fluke in which someone ambushed her after she had already used all her spells that day and had time to contact her husband but not enough to find an antidote and in these circumstances she did die from poison, it's not like the PC,who the epilogue states became some sort of political figure himself, could not afford to pay the measly few hundred gold to have her resurrected. Essentially, I would prefer a happy ending, but if they don't want to give one, I would accept it as long as the entire premise weren't full of very large and noticeable holes.

Regardless, I think it would be fun if there were a quest that could change the outcome in BG3. I mean, it wouldn't have to change the outcome, but it could depending on what choices individual players made, as is normally the case in quests. That way everyone could follow the path of their choosing. The same could be done for any or all of the other characters' epilogues, many of which would make interesting quests.

why dont they release these for consoles

I dont like this, same as BG1 Enhanced edition twice the price and they added drm to the game, just buy it from gog for 10 dollars, you can even get a promo and get it for 2 like I did.

The new content doesn't worth the extra money nor the drm system...

I am a big Dungeons and Dragons fan, but I just can't play those old games using the old D&D 2.0 rules. I love D&D 3.5 (I also hate 4.0), the point is, I don't think I could return to THACO and lack of customizing skills and no feats... a BG3 with updated rules would be awesome!

A game Ive played and replayed sooooo many times and Istill will purchase this edition. I havent finished BG1: EE yet but Im pretty close to entering Baldurs gate so I guess there isnt much left before finishing the game. Ill try to have it done before this one comes out so I can import my characters. I LOVE BG(but I hate dark alliance).

For the love of RPGs and everything true gaming, I gave these games an honest shot. But it just wasn't for me. Way too complicated, couldn't figure out what the heck I was doing. Right off the rip, it's like, okay wtf are the controls. Why can't I attack this guy? Why can't I use that, what are the stats on this weapon. Just...confusing. Overall a very uncomfortable experience.

Maybe I should give it another chance. Anybody want to convince me?

nice! 350K of words ill probably just skim through and forget

whats the point of enhanced edition when graphics remain the same.

I'd rather they spend time making bg3 vs revamping something that is 13 years old.

Jeeze you people. EE wasn't that damn bad. It wasn't a $60 game. It was $20. It was the game in one simple download. No modding or the like.

At any rate I played it on my iPad and won it twice. (I get downtime often where I cannot do anything but wait.)

350.000 Word MIGHT sound like much.....

....but if we're realistic it boils down to 1 or 2 new quests I'd asume

(Do not forget to take rooting dialogue options into account)

Baldur's Gate could use a lot of improvements in graphics, AI (watching your party get through a door is just sad), and interface. What doesn't need improving is content. The game is already HUGE!

Ah well, we've got a lot of new isometrics on the horizon all of the sudden. Y'awl do what you want.

I have the EE for BG1 but have not played it.....Do I really need to install the original to enjoy it. Its like 9 cds or something insane in my old box of games @_@ Does the EE change the originals content? I actually never finished the first one and it was years ago when I played it. So I want the best experience...but I am also lazy...

People really shouldn't try to improve a classic like Baldur's Gate 2, beyond maybe a graphics update. Adding additional text and even quests will only obscure and compromise what is already the greatest party-based RPG ever released in electronic form.

If you really want to fix something, have a look at some truly broken games that have been released, starting with anything with Obsidian's name on it.

I dont know, I just dont have much faith for them to go beyond mediocre. If theyr going to pull the same arena type DLC expansion for BG2:EE. Then i will just facepalm and move on.

Honestly they are better of doing EE for Drakensang series then BG.

They dropped tha ball with BG:EE. I have little hope...

a graphical update would've been nice...

Did they spend too much time counting all the words?

@Imperiacommando They should make it a FPS.

Did they actually get the budget and licence to revamp the graphics this time?

Because BG:EE was basically the same BG as i had with my mods.
