Baldur's Gate #BaldurGate: Siege of Dragonspear

[Kem0sabe]

Oh shit. Beamdog wants to make and enhanced edition of Fallout and Fallout 2.
I don't know if to cry or to laugh!

What?

 

[Immortal]

Those bugs sound awful.. definitely gonna wait to play.

This changes in Siege of Dragonspear. My favorite new character is Schael Corwin, an officer in the Flaming Fist mercenary company. She’s an archer, a variation of the ranger class, and she’s a single mother. Her husband is out of the picture, and while her father helps out, she’s torn between her job as a merc, helping you, and caring for her daughter.

I’ve never encountered such a storyline in a fantasy RPG before, and I feel for it. I felt for Corwin, and while I wanted to explore her story (since she is, after all, a new character), another part of me wanted to tell her to take a large cache of gold from my stockpile and be the mother she wants to be to her daughter. And should you go down the romantic path with her (as my female sorcerer did), you’ll witness her inner conflict between mother and warrior even more.

Gaider would be proud.

At least they're taking the source material into entirely original territory. We'll finally get an insight in what the dating prospects are for a middle-aged lesbian single mother in the Forgotten Realms.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

out now!

 

[Space Insect]

Wait, was the version that these guys were reviewing the actual release version or the beta version? That could explain some bugs.

Awaiting Codex veview before spending shekels

Released on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/385970/

 

[oldmanpaco]

I bet this wouldn't have happened if they'd set up a Steam page for the game ahead of its release like everybody else does. Not boding well for its commercial success.

Yep. It seems like a huge oversight.

Yeah I was looking for this on steam the other day. Could not figure out why it didn't have its own page to pre-order (not that I was going to).

It was so stupid in bg2 that you had to save imoen i left that annoying bitch at first occasion and you have her in your party starting AGAIN in SoDS .
here's some gameplay for anyone intrested(i strongly recommend muting this let's player)

Spoiler

 

[Dorateen]

Not a problem for those playing with a custom party.

 

[Excidium II]

Come on man she's your sister.

 

[Space Insect]

I think you need the Imoen romance mod.

 

[Excidium II]

They really did replace the old scroll thingy with some flat tooltip.

 

[janior]

I never finished bg2 cause of her i did every side quest and was done with it. I hope she's still rotting in dungeon while being constantly raped by Irenicus.

 

[imweasel]

See ya later, noobs.

Wait for the next patch.

They did. And it feels so very wrong. Every time I hover over an Npc I'm waiting for that all so familiar scrolling sound. And I get nothing.

In fact they removed almost all hover over pop ups. Both animations and sounds. The map has no pop ups at all now. Travel times are also now wrote on the map instead of popping up.

 

[Gay-Lussac]

Those health bars make the game look like a cheap RTS. Thank god that can be turned off.

 

[Bubbles]

Those health bars make the game look like a cheap RTS.

Well, it has 30 vs. 30 battles and was made on a small budget...

 

[Naraya]

Once upon a time I've made a big mistake and bought BG:EE on Steam. Does anyone know if I can buy SoD on GOG and use it with Steam version of BG:EE ?

 

[vortex]

Servers are overloaded. Probably the whole world is D/L-ing.

 

[Namutree]

If they bothered with romances they better have included that goblin. That would be the romance that comes closest to being worth doing.

Are you saying you never wondered?

Hey aVENGER, what the logic behind this move?
