Played 1 a very long time ago. Enjoyed it aside from RTwP combat.
It's a cash-grab. Beamdog's additions are inferior to most mods already created for the games they turn into EE, and they charge more than the originals cost. Their additional content, such as characters, are also pretty cringeworthy.No quality of life mods? I probably won't replay it soon, so I might as well mod it.
What's the hate for EE, btw? The UI seems fine from the screenshots.

You enjoyed it aside from the thing you're going to be spending 80% of your time doing?

Is BG2 THAT combat heavy? If I remember correctly BG1 had a good balance between reading simulator and pause every every frame combat.
I like TB but I can play some RTwP if the game is good.
Planescape: Torment, Anachronix, Arcanum and Gothic were all released within a year of BG2 and were far greater RPGs.Hmm? Like what? Bugfinder Patchmaker? I already finished one run and I'm not doing another one until 2025 when most bugs are gone.
tactics mod is pretty fun

wtf people still recommending tactics
If you want a difficulty mod Sword Coast Stratagems is one of the best gameplay mods released for any game, period. Contrary to Tactics its been continously updated - last update was this Wednesday. But again if you hate the gameplay don't install it, it's just gonna make things harder and by nature you'll spending more time on them as a result.

Great, a list of games that's as old as BG2 that I've already played before.
What else do you have there, friend?
-
So what I'm hearing is that EE actually changes some of the dialogues of the original?
I'm not to keen about that. My mod list so far: TuTu and Sword Coast Stratagems.

You can use both though, some of the side encounters from tactics are pretty cool.
Ease of use features are great. BG2ee is also not unbalanced like bgee is. Additional writing is limited to new npcs as far as I know. Just ignore or kill them.It doesn't, but it doesn't add anything much of value either unless you're gonna heavily mod your game.

It's a buggy mess, still, despite patching. Improvements are scarce and inferior to community-made mods, and the game has been infected with fanfic-tier characters, blatant in-your-face agenda and terrible writing. As a principle, you shouldn't be giving these people money. It's a scam, plain and simple.What's the hate for EE, btw? The UI seems fine from the screenshots.
Alleviates something that takes 5 minutes at best, including downloading a file that modern internet speeds DL in seconds time. People are so lazy and dumb nowadays, it's pathetic. No wonder so many eat reheated junk food instead of putting in a minuscule effort to make a simple thing themselves.EE eliviates the need for any ease of use mods
Leave Keldorn alone.yeah dorn is gay in both bg games.

Which ease of use features are those? There are none that you can't get through mods. I use the EE's because EET is superior to BGT and the most updated versions of mods I used are for the EEs, but that's about it.

No/faster loading screens and AoE loot.
