If someone had never played BG1 before then found the EE, it's no surprise they enjoyed it & have positive feelings about it.
- Broken new classes (prestige class thief from NWN, who can HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT from lvl1, LMAO!)
2. Shadowdancer actually came out first in the 3.x DMG. It was added to NWN and the rest was history.If someone had never played BG1 before then found the EE, it's no surprise they enjoyed it & have positive feelings about it.

Few additional questions for the FanBoy! candidate ItsChon:
My 20 minutes of playing was enough to see:
- Did you play original BG?
- If yes, did you play it before or after beamdog's?
There's probably more, but I'm not going to investigate further. So, one good feature (zoom out is good), one questionable (bg2 character stats) and lots of bad ones.
- The ugly amateurish UI.
- Broken new classes (prestige class thief from NWN, who can HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT from lvl1, LMAO!)
- That the game works on a BG2 engine (Maybe that's not bad for everyone, since people play things like BGT)
- Non-optional object high-lighting, which makes half of the neat secret loot containers meaningless.
- New retarded companions. Some nigger half-orc with a marysue story about how badass he is, lol.
- Every time you launch the game it reminds you that these retarded NPCs exist by showing you their portraits.
- Despite having zoom out feature (which is incline), game features the same backgrounds as in original but stretched and blurred, which make it look like blurred cancer.
So, why should anyone buy and/or enjoy inferior version of the game? Ah, I forgot that the original was removed from all the digital stores, what a strange coincidence.
The new classes are garbage power-wise.
Not really. A mage/thief can already backstab with a lightning bolt, so HiPS is really just icing on the cake.The new classes are garbage power-wise.
As I said I didn't play much, but 2E's backstabs + HiPS sounds like super cheesy combination.

Shaman sucks both power-level wise and from a ~*FEELS*~ perspective. Monk is really bad on lower levels and the new kits don't fix it.
Meanwhile we have the old BG2 kits, some of which are amazingly OP, to pick from. So yeah, the criticism of the new kits and classes should be that they are pooly designed, because they certainly aren't overpowered.
they're basically cleric sorcs anyway.

perspective, shaman is prob the weakest of the EE additions, which isn't a high bar in the first place.~*FEELS*~

Also many of their signature spells are so boring and downright useless - they ~*FEEL*~ bad. The fireball is great, yeah, but mostly it's just a copy of another spell, which is why it feels so great.

What, and bring more kids to pester us while we are screaming at clouds?ItsChon is Codex's Don Quixote charging at long standing Windmills of the 'Dex
Looks like some long standing Codexians drove off the newbie who just got into traditional RPG, and wanted all of his friends to join in as well.
And I was just formulating a polite response to ItsChon detailing why people that have been playing these games for over 20 years appreciate the history, and the height of the bellcurve the IE games were at before Beamshit took them on the decline...
