Baldur's Gate on Dragon Age

Just thought that these guys should get some attention, even if it is an almost impossible project, if they got help (from a very large community) they might do it!.

Help them out if you can.

So I can take Baldurs Gate 2's combat system which was easy to use and had the perfect view and can instead use Dragons Age crappy MMO inspired one. One where I can't even perform a simple task like blocking a door with my characters because the enemies run right through them like they weren't even there. And I can play through the part of Baldurs Gate 2 that most people grew tired of playing through every time they made a new character (so much so that people were happy to download the Dungeon Be Gone mod). That sounds awesome.

Unless I looked at the wrong thing I see no point to this. Baldurs Gate 2 is pretty much perfect, even its graphics (along with Icewind Dale and Planescape) are pretty much made in a way where no one should have a problem playing the game today (unlike Never Winter Nights which I hated the look of the day it came out).

I admit I am not a fan of the dungeon scene, but who's to say they won't offer something similar to Dungeon-Be-Gone? If you have a voice to put into this go and help, I would love to, even if it isn't much. I like DA, and if it's possible to do HL on the Source Engine, then it's possible to do BG on the DA engine.

Create a fully-playable recreation of all areas of Irenicus' Dungeon, recreating the atmosphere and feel of the original game.

I wish them the best of luck but I have to somewhat agree with Legolas_Katarn and wonder if this is really needed. BGII was/is superior to DA:O in almost every single conceivable way, including combat and graphics. Oh well, the more mods the merrier I guess.

I asked them about it, and they really want to do a complete revamp, even change the classes from DA to BG classes.Koawinter

I like the combat system too, I think it would be an excellent mod, but I know that it will take a while, perhaps they can do steps, like the dungeon first, then just the bare essential things and then add extra content later.

They should just make it like BGII with Dungeon Be Gone mod. IIRC that was the name. Damn, Irenicus.. Never again will I venture into your ****ing dungeon.Vfanek

I'm going to have to agree with the pessimists here.

Dragon Age was inferior in pretty much every way to BG2 (especially with the combat and party mechanics), and the only advantage to remaking BG2 as a DAO mod is that it'd be in 3D...so it seems like a waste of mod talent.

Still, if they go to the trouble of modelling even half of BG2's creatures, these modders will have probably put more effort into DAO than Bioware did. :P

New FAQ is up... Here

^-- Have you even tried to play it lately?

Seems like a pretty ambitious mod,chances are that it will never be finished though.

BGII, in it's current state, is still and will always be good enough.

3D remakes are waste time IMHO.

This has some potential, Id say they should do what The guys making Black mesa are doing, make the original game but make it ON CRACK!!!! This is alpha stages so it looks like butt right now but this could be an awesome mod.
