Yeah pretty much all they have said is that they would LIKE to do one for IWD and Planescape: Torment as well as a sequel for the latter. They also stated BG3 to be their goal but it would only be possible if it is financially viable. |

Actually they are contractually obligated to do one for BG2. And I think IWD was stated as something that they would like to do. |

I bought the game, and I am loving it as unlike BG2 I had forgotten most of the plot and characters in BG1. So it's like a new game.
BUT the reason to buy this game is not so much for BG1 or BG2...it's because if enough people buy it they will make Baldur's Gate 3. Which should give everyone on Candlekeep a fangasm.

I think with other spellcasters its the same, although I don't remember if that has been the case with the original BG too.
Actually the Sorcerer, which was introduced in BG2, works exactly as it did back then. There was really nothing they could do to change that as they are very limited, contractually, to what they can and cannot do. |

When tests tell you that you should rather play the original BG1 instead of the EE then something is amiss iīd say. |

Well, I have been enjoying it! (Yes, I have the original game and mods. I even got the gog version so it's all in one file but I got those on sale.)
I am playing through as a monk and am having a lot of fun. I have lost a few people, due to death, and only had one raised (Minsc). I have also dropped some found characters for other ones. I don't know how far I have gotten but it's been a lot of fun! I'm hoping they do BG2, ID1&2 now as well!

User Account Control in Win7 can mess up mods, though. I've had it happen with my BGT and my own mod. |

There's just something about still trying to get the original version to work on more modern systems, that speaks to the nostalgic gamer inside of me.
I just managed to install my old baldur gate 2 and throne of bhaal on my vista 64 bit computer. It works fine, the important part was to run the installation file in administrator mode and windows xp simulation mode. |

Cant wait to get this on my iPad...which only leaves the question, Will I ever get any work done after that happens? |

Seems the release date for this has been shifted back to November. You can see the statement here. I was a little sad as I have pre-ordered but I'd rather the release was right than rushed so I can wait until November, and it's not like I don't have the gog.com versions, and the original CDs, & the DVD versions, now if only I could get that widescreen mod to work properly with BGI! |

No problem!  |

I got BGT to work. I think I know why it did not the first time. I'll look into the widescreen mod. The one I found before didn't take for some reason. Thanks for the help. |

Your best bet would be the wide screen mod, that i think lets you play the game in higher resolution. Also i recommend the 1pp mod, it enhances the visuals of items and what not. 1pp is also used by the comercial BG EE. |

Didn't know about big world. I am going to try BGT again and see what happens. I'll give Big World a shot if it doesn't work. In all honesty the main thing I really want is to be able to play the game in a higher resolution. I tried the G3 mod for that but it never took. |
| Lord Bane |
Posted - 15 Sep 2012 : 17:18:12
Hm canīt say what may have caused the issue on your part but considered using the Big World mod? It is supposed to do what BGT does plus incorporating alot of other mods not only BG but also BG2. |
| Mr Dark |
Posted - 15 Sep 2012 : 15:55:11
I did it according to the instructions given in the download. I've used mods on other games and never had that problem. BGT and TUTU both did bad things to my computer. |

Posted - 15 Sep 2012 : 15:47:53
Seems like you did something wrong. Itīs a bit trial an error with some but all in all, it is basicly already an enhanced version of the game. |
| Mr Dark |
Posted - 15 Sep 2012 : 14:58:01
Yeah, those great mods succeeded in wiping out my games folder and making BG unplayable. |
| Lord Bane |
Posted - 15 Sep 2012 : 12:27:37
You can already have your own BG enhanced with the mods that have been created by the modding community over the years, they are all for free aswell. No need for me to buy the game when i already own it. |

Yeah, I agree with you guys. Better to get a good game a bit later.
Just- you know - I've counted the days to get it....
P.S. (the good thing is that I can properly finish Icewind Dale 2 :) ) |

Ok with them delaying it, not thrilled with the very late notice for such an enormous delay relative to their total development time so far. Still, it's not too bad, another couple months isn't the end of the world if it means they get to do some more cool things to the game. |
| Mr Dark |
Posted - 15 Sep 2012 : 00:13:10
Amen to that! I remember how many patches and mods were needed to get TOEE to work. |
| ddporter |
Posted - 14 Sep 2012 : 23:27:48
That's actually a good thing. It means the studio is more concerned about getting the game right than shipping on time, with bugs. I wish more game makers would do that. |

The Enhanced Edition is postponed till the 30th of November!!! For the nine hells!!! |
| Lily M Green |
Posted - 04 Sep 2012 : 19:32:23
There is the gog.com version which runs fine but really it's probably worth waiting for the enhanced edition at this stage, especially as it will support fan made mods by all accounts. |
