| 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! |

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

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. |

| You don't even need to run it in simulation mode, BGII runs just fine on Win7 64Bit. I've had hit & miss results with BGI and the widescreen mod though, which is why I'm happy to buy the enhanced edition & my apologies, mods, I started a whole new scroll with the link to the preload / preorder details so feel free to merge it with this. |

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

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!

Ufortunatly they did a very poor job integrating the new classes. Sorcerers for example don't benefit at all from their charisma they just get a fixed amount of spells per level.
I think with other spellcasters its the same, although I don't remember if that has been the case with the original BG too. |

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

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. |

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.

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

They are obliged to do a BG2: EE by the contract.
Anything else is just wishful thinking so far. |

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. |
