As you can see from the topic title, this opinion has been made up. Yes!

But what about you? What are your thoughts on a revised, "upgraded" Baldur's Gate and BG2?

I'm happy it still is 2nd edition.

The rest depends on what will be changed. UI enhancements, resolution, better sprites, no fog of war are all ok; the rest doesn't need alteration or additions imo.

Yeah. The game gets a good score for a reason. People still buy and play that same, over ten year old, game for the same reason. Only minor alterations are needed. Cosmetic.

The only reason I couldn't stand playing BG is because there's barely any VO. Without full VO this upgrade is useless

What make this so Cool ??? I already beat both the game several times. I guess if it was ported for the PS Vita or 3DS that would be kinda good for younger kids.

As long as they don't change the main story and the side quests and only add to it, then it can't be a bad thing, in my opinion.

I never got into any of the DnD ruleset using RPGs... maybe I'll give it a try. I can't go past the main door without being bored out of my mind when I tried BG for the umpteenth time..

Full voice acting would be nice, but not if they don't get the original voice actors. Well it's fine to get new people for the minor characters, random NPCs and stuff, but all the party members and main story characters need the original voice actors. Maybe they can find people that sound exactly the same.

Just when I started playing BG2 too! Damn, now I either have to wait and get the revised edition or finish my current game. As long as they don't change anything but eye candy then I'll be happy.

Also, maybe they'll add Unfinished Business to both, I wouldn't mind that added as well as visual improvements and widescreen support without need of a mod. If not mistaken, I think they'll have BG 1 running off BG 2 engine(it's what Tutu did).

the best way to improve baldur's gate is to make it turn based like temple of elemental evil. that would make me happy.

Gah I dont understand these rules you people keep talking about. How do these rules affect the game? What do they have to do with exactly? What do they affect exactly?

Well the 'rules' are the gameplay! They define the effects of any action, for example if an attack will hit or if a spell will have full effect on target. Baldur's Gate is quite basically an strategy game with AD&D rules. It doesn't make a lot of difference as they fit organically into the gameplay, I just feel that the 2nd is more balanced. IW2 had 3rd ed. rules and it worked fine.

Agreed, I probably will be skipping these (esp. BG 1) unless they really update the hell out of it.

If they imported the combat system from TOEE as an option I think I'd shed tears of joy. Baldurs gate needs true turn based combat.

any news on what they are upgrading exactly? is all the art work being brought in for an overhaul? are the sprites going to be replaced with 3D models? are BG1 and 2 + expansions going to be sold as the one package? unless its a very significant upgrade ill just stick with my disc copies. i was hoping this was a successor :(. i was also hoping obsidian (who are basically black isle) could get involved.
