*looks around innocently* What are you saying Sable? LOL

I never finished BG. I thought it was boring. But I was looking into the EE, so it is a definite possibility.

*looks at sig* I am always on topic. hahahahaa

[mythlover20]

Yes, Sable. It's not as is mnomaha has *EVER* lead any of us astray. *snicker* lol

I was looking at getting BG:EE, but I'm playing so many games at the moment, I'm waiting on reviews from you guys to find out whether I should buy it or not. I'm still VERY wary of buying new games these days. Bloody ME3.

Just found this on tumblr. Pretty damn accurate.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. Aparently BG was re-released by the company that is making the new Baldur's Gate 3 game. BG's not BioWare's anymore. I would have been sad by that but after Thane... I think it may have been a good thing.

I've beaten both of you. I'm still crying half the time.

BG:EE is IMO a pretty good repackaging of a game that's almost 15 years old.  It's over the worst of its launch bugs (and there were some really nasty ones) but it seems to be stable enough for most people now.  It still uses the AD&D mechanics, which are notoriously punishing and confusing.

The developers were able to get some modders on board, but for the most part, they're contractually obligated not to touch the core game.  The decade of mods for BG1 now have to be patched to fit with BG:EE.  It's anyone's guess how long that'll take, though I think the more popular mods will be patched within a few months.  

Hopefully I haven't scared you off; the game is pretty sweet, and the devs have chosen to add to it rather than mess with the original.  There's a stand-alone dungeon crawl called The Black Pits (2-3 hours, fun but nothing too original).  There are also 3 new NPC companions, each with his/her own sidequest, voicing, and mini-romance arc (3-4 dialogues, meant to lay the groundwork for a full romance in the BG2 enhanced edition).  I like all of them so far.

I'll go into some detail on each of them:

• Rasaad yn Bashir: Lawful good human monk.  He's the one who reminded me of a younger Thane: spiritual and thoughtful, but still finding his place in the world.  Mechanically weak, but that's because low-level monks are bad in AD&D.  Romanceable by good-aligned females.
• Neera: Chaotic neutral half-elf wild mage.  Perky, bit of a chatterbox, and IMO 100% adorable.  Mechanically effective and well-balanced, though playing with a wild mage involves some save scumming in case something nasty happens from a wild spell.  Romanceable by males.
• Dorn Il-Khan: Neutral evil half-orc blackguard.  Surprisingly smart and insighful, if unrepentently rotten to the core.  Oh, and he has a sexy voice.  And he's an absolute BEAST in combat.  And I'm kind of in love with him   Romanceable by any PC who completes his sidequest.

tl;dr--BG:EE is good, but still rough around the edges.  For anyone who wants an optimal experience (especially folks who have never played the series), I'd say wait a month or two for the mods and patches to catch up.  To keep from spamming the thread, I am happy to answer PMs about anything BG-related.  Baldur's Gate is my favorite game series ever, and I've sunk close to a thousand hours into it over the years.

That's a good article Seifer. Thanks! It's much better than Kotaku's little write up.

[Karrie788]

Sooo... squadmates are coming back? =D

[mnomaha]

Seth Green is confirmed, as is Raphael. Don't know about the rest. Although, according to bioware, ME2 didn't exist, so I wouldn't expect those.

[CroGamer002]

Mac Walters is confirmed to return too.

In writing.

[mnomaha]

BTW, the article Seifer posted...good place to leave feedback.

[mnomaha]

I honestly don't give a rat's arse. If they want my money, they should invest in Christ L'Etoile.

[CroGamer002]

^Amen to that.

[mnomaha]

Guys...guys!!!! Here's a really good article with an excellent question at the bottom.

@mnomaha - I saw what ya did there, chickie! Kudos on your comments on EG. lol

[CroGamer002]

Also only few minutes ago I read Kotaku article on video game developers only having 12% employed woman.

But I would add that I'm sure that from 88% of those man are also white, so that would also add that white American/Canadian males have dominance in game development and racism to other races and ethnicity's.

[mnomaha]

Okay....what????

http://www.facebook....&type=1

I am not amused.

[CroGamer002]

^Was that "Okay....what????" aimed at my comment or also went with that facebook post.

[mnomaha]

Oh sorry, at the facebook post.

[CroGamer002]

Ah, alright.

Just wondered did I needed to rephrase my post.

[mnomaha]

Also...same picture, but different (more) discussion.
