BG2 may be the better game same as Fallout 2 was better game than Fallout 1, yet the most revolutionary (obviously) were predecessors. I was blown away by richness of the presented world in BG1 back in that time(there was no second game like that period, only fallout could compete), when BG2 was out we already had BG1+expansion + IWD +PST, and tbh it was just more polished BG1.
Yup i deduced that from main skull and chars in the background ^^ Im happy, BG1 was always in a shadow of 2nd, while it deserves the same pride. But for god sake, get capable people to do this.Last edit: 2012-03-16 05:09:58 |

Haha, yeah. Pathfinding was the worst part of BG1. They improved it for BG2 but it was still horrible. Planescape and Icewind Dale series had terrible pathfinding as well.
I wonder what they're going to do with all the empty areas in BG1. If they're going to remake BG1, they could remove some of these areas, since many of them are redundant anyway, and more stuff in many of them. There were tons of areas in the middle of map that barely had anything at all except a few mob packs.Last edit: 2012-03-16 05:08:53 |

Blade Runner was laughed on, but 10 years later the critics changed their oppinions, sometimes certain masterpieces just came in the wrong point in time.
Well in case of PST its not critics but audience.Last edit: 2012-03-16 05:13:21 |

every area has an average of 3 quest//meaningful encounters. I enjoyed the mystery of adventuring and not knowing who or what I would run into. If anything, I want MORE areas! |

The screenshots will be one week from now, at the same website, and it uses the classes from ToB.
Two games will be coming, BG1EE (this summer) and BG2EE (don't know when). Each will contain it's expansion built-in.Last edit: 2012-03-16 05:21:26 |

not at all IMO, fallout1 was a really well made game, although lacking in size compared to fallout2 it didn't have a lot of the glaring issues and bugs that were in fallout2 and while fallout2 was incredibly awesome I'd probably say fallout1 was the better game; comparing it to bg1 and 2 I'd say bg2 was the better made game as well as more revolutionary, given that it provided such a complete experience (gameplay, graphics, story, dialogue, voice acting ALL of it top-notch) |

| So, if they use classes from ToB, that means we won't have to deal with 4th Ed rules? Is that possible? |

I really hope they can make good sales. Somehow I can't see the CoD generation wanting to do any math or reading, but if they can manage to pull off good sales numbers it would be a huge thing for the gaming industry and may encourage big developers to stop dumbing down their games. |

A prequel wouldn't follow your char in BG1/2, but probably one of the other Bhaalspawn.
Also, no one mentioned what game(s) this covers. There's a (small) chance that they're letting you play the whole story in one sitting.
Can you imagine that? So many hours, that will teach one thing or two to the fucking mainstream audience/developers.
To be honest I was actually hoping they won't do that, and I'm glad they didn't. Reason is that, while it's great for old fans like us, it's kind of ridiculous to expect a new player to sit in through a 200 hour game just to reach a conclusion. At some point they'll get bored of questing and just want closure (imagine skipping those epic quests in BG2 because you got so much "filler exploration" in BG1!)
What would be ideal is: BG1+xpac for 20-30 bucks, then BG2 for 20-30, then ToB for 20 scattered a few months apart. If they added a lot of content though I can see them charging full price.
Sad they're keeping 2.5 rules...3rd edition is so much easier to understand (higher = better!) |

No I mean, if you design a new game today you would never use 2.5 rules. 3rd edition rules are just as deep, and if you don't care to learn all the underlying details, you can do well with the standard rule of "higher numbers are better". It makes the game more accessible without dumbing it down, which is important in game design.

So far, the perfect announcement in my eyes. They keep the things that made the series so great, including the 2nd edition ruleset, but improve upon the outdated things (graphics), add new content, and most likely integrate all the great things that the mods bring in BGT, all wrapped up in one nice little package :D
I'm curious if they will also bring in the old voice actors to perform new lines of dialogue, probably not though since it's quite expensive. |

| So it'll be a remake of sorts with some new content as well? Not bad. I still have the original installed, but I might buy this depending on what kind of improvements they've made and how long the new content is. |

I am really happy that they are keeping the 2.5 rules! Always were the best rules for table top gaming too.
Not really excited but I will sure to get this. |

This has to just be BG1. Otherwise they would be calling it a collection or something.
Plus, IMO BG2 is the better game (and more well liked) of the two anyhow, so I think they would put that out there if it was included. However, making BG1 into a modern setting means putting out BG2 should follow soon after.

Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition™ and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition™ will feature a re-forged version of the Infinity Engine with a variety of modern improvements.
