BG:EE sucks. It really does. Unecessary "improvements" and half-assed changes. It's an iPad money grab. It is an iPad game ported to the PC. It's a terrible port. It blows my mind since it was a PC game to begin with. Play the modded BG: Trilogy instead. It does everything you'd want it to do without sucking. Here's the instruction thread on GoG: http://af.gog.com/forum/baldurs_gate_series/baldurs_gate_2_essential_mods/page1?as=1649904300

:declining:

Oh, really?

After dabbling with BG:TuTu mod, I have to say that I like BG:EE more. All those myriad of mods are a pain in the ass to get right. BG:EE simplifies it all and adds some content... for 20 bucks.

Honestly, the major issue I have with the TuTu mod is it doesn't automatically improve stack sizes. BG:EE does.

Still dabbling.

Ah, so BG:T > EE > Tutu then?

 

[Vicar]

Oh, really?

Well to be fair he said he liked BG:EE more than TuTu, and then said BGT is better than BG:EE. So there's nothing really contradicting there.

FUCK TUTU I CANT FIGURE IT OUT

>Want to buy BG:EE instead
Awesome SIMPLIFIED instructions. CAN FOLLOW.
...

>WAIT. Found instructions on GoG to install BG:T!
Instructions good. CAN FOLLOW.
...
NOW FUCK UNNECESSARY ''IMPROVEMENTS'' AND HALF-ASSED CHANGES OF BG:EE

Ah, so BG:T > EE > Tutu then?

BG:T>TuTu>BG:EE
But there really is no reason to use TuTu nowadays, just get BG:T unless you feel like spending 20 bucks and supporting Trent for BG3

Eat molten lead and die faggot.

Well, I was asking about his order of preference. Besides, I already have perfectly fine copies and wouldn't trust Trent to clean a toilet atm.

You can'T corner the Toster.


So what news from the front? It's been quite silent for the past 3 month. Did Beamdog went bankrupt but he can't find the courage to admit there won't be any BG2 EE?
I don't think BG EE sold that much, and Atari and the other holder must have eaten most of the profits.
Not to mention all the money he must have spent in legal spending during the pre ''Development'' phase.

Besides, what can he actually add in BG2 to make an ''enhanced'' edition. The game can already be played in an higher resolution, and the UI was always considered to be top notch.
The resolution first was basically the main selling point of the first EE.

Shitposters.

That soul patch makes my blood boil.

They are hard at work on BG2EE now as far as I'm aware. They seem to be regularly patching BG1 and even added 5 new class kits and a drow sorcerer party member recently. I wont compliment them for the project overall but they do seem to be willing to support it post release.

 

[Atomic]

That guy has a hell of a long neck and/or a very small head

 

[Xavier0889]

Yet another drow?

 

[waywardOne]

a drow sorcerer party member

Their creativity at fucking these games up is commendable.

 

[Jaesun]

Does it still crash after killing Saervok? I remember Matt Barton tweeting that, and to just play the originals. heh

 

[Zed]

That guy has a hell of a long neck and/or a very small head

literally a dickhead.

I wonder what they think they can possibly add to BG2 to improve it in any way (content-wise).

 

[Jaesun]

Romance BOO?

Adding the NPC projects into the default content of the game.

They'll probably put their stamp of approval on the best modder content. Whether what they steal are graciously granted by the modders is an improvement, is another matter.

Which content did they include in BG:EE that they did not have any approval from the original modder? Can you give me a list?

Nah, I was just being sarcastic about how they're essentially charging for stuff that they got from the modders for free. I should have made that clearer I guess.

They specifically asked them for their permission to add it to BG:EE and knowing they would not be compensated for it (they were credited though). And quite a few said NO (and were not included).

What specifically is the problem?

Oh, there's not an actual problem beyond them making a really bad impression on me.

Maybe I should sleep instead of making more incoherent posts
