Neat stuff. I turned off the stream to avoid spoilers (lol, yes, spoilers for a 20 year old game ) but the bit about the localizations was pretty neat. Didn't know there was a huge D&D fanbase in Asia and Korea. The Polish box cover and package sounded cool as well. Anyone here have the original t-shirt?
Oh, and Samsung localized the original Korean version. I happen to be playing the game on a Samsung TV. TORMENTCEPTION.
You're not denying Beamdog anything. You're fucking over an honest distributer, GoG, and just convincing Wizards of the Coast that maybe they should create their own platform like U-Play or Origin - for any D&D licensed games in the future. Perhaps Planescape should sit in limbo for another two decades as well eh?

Loading Screen

projectiles. They also grant you a certain skill with a limited amount of uses. The skill
they grant is always a bit higher level than what you're used to.
- New item for creating inert wand
- Added crafting combinations to create wands

Loot Generation Overhaul
- Treasure tables were completely re-balanced
- More specific treasure tables were created for specific encounters and locations
- Certain treasure tables were joined together to help the new random in reaching its
true assured variation algorithm
- Shopkeeper inventories were completely re-balanced
- Skillbook traders now offer a better array of skillbooks
- Now uses a different type of random, call it "counted randomness", where drops are
assured instead of having a lower or higher chance of dropping
- Treasure is generated the first time the level is loaded and saved in the savegame
Gear
- Every item now has a description
- Gear now drops more logically and progressively (e.g. You can find a wood axe early
on in the game, because it's a tool and not an advanced weapon. You will not find it
in mid or late game anymore. In the same vein, you won't find a double headed battle
axe early on in the game anymore. In the original game, item progression felt very
random.)
- Higher level gear no longer has names that feel unappropriate for high level items.
(E.g. Mid level and high level items no longer get prefixes like Rusty and Broken.)
- Damage, crit chance and AP cost of all weapons was rebalanced.
- THe blocking chance of shields is higher at the beginning of the game
- Crossbows can now drop from level 1 onwards
- Most requirements have gone down
- Created DIY items. These are weapons that can be upgraded. Every upgrade also
upgrades the weapon level. Charla (Cyseal beach) sells the base weapons. There is a
manual with instructions available in the world. All upgrades are hidden in the world
and must be found by the player.
- Shields break more often, have less durability
- Removed the default resistances on leather armor and metal armor
- Sarongs no longer have an INT requirement
UI
- In the inventory, you can have the sort functionality fill in empty slots to clear empty
gaps
- Crafting UI was added
- In the crafting UI, you can experiment and look for valid combinations. Unlocked
recipes give quick access to crafting combinations you have already found.
- All tooltips (skills, equipment) follow a general everything is always in the same order,
and icons immediately clarify what the numbers are about.
- Tooltip borders look less bulky
- Most in-game actions are now listed in the skill window, with their own neat
little icon. This way, game actions can be mapped to the Hot Bar. This gives the
user multiple ways of doing things and makes it easier for people that play with a
controller. (E.g. Attack ground, delay turn, disarm trap, end turn, enter sneak, flee,
identify, repair, pick lock)
- Arhu's remote control for the Sparkmaster has an actual user interface design that
looks like a remote control. (You used to interact with it through a dialogue.)
- Added a new tab to the skill window for skills that were granted by equipment (e.g.
Skills granted by wands but also skills granted by magical equipment)

Economy
- Gear, loot, items: game economy was completely rebalanced.
Magical Gear
- Magical gear can now grant a skill
- Magical gear can now reflect damage as a certain type of damage
- Contact boosts granted by magical items don't last long (OP)
- New magical boosts were created, existing ones were rebalanced. There's more
variation now and more different combinations are possible.
- Magically boosted gear now becomes progressively more interesting as you go
through the game: magical boosts become stronger as you level up, so "old" low level
items become less interesting.
- Magically boosted gear comes in 5 tiers: uncommon, rare, epic, legendary and divine.
You will not find divine items early on in the game, but as you level up, uncommon
and even rare items become more commonplace.

Too bad if true. I liked how some quests and dialogue were gender-specific. Obviously it's got a deep implementation of combat, too, with that RPG system...Dragons & Doorknobs, I think?
Is the stream available for download or to watch offline? I saw some of it but I was too sleepy to continue and kept not winning anything, so I turned it off :D
Anyway, I liked what they've shown and some of the info was pretty interesting, would like to see and hear more of what I missed.

If you go on twitch and visit Baldur's Gate and PST streams during prime time for Korea, often you can find Koreans streaming these games. I was always wondering why so many do compared to people from west streaming them. Russians don't like IE games much, they like to stream Fallout like games a lot.

This is silver Polish box copy of P:T: http://imgur.com/a/r2int (for sale for 360 PLN)
And this is the older version I think, with a T-shirt: http://imgur.com/a/Lf0PH (currently for sale for 600 PLN)
I imagine a world in which Beamdog actually enhanced the games, fixing our major criticisms of them, instead of releasing grotesque, Donatella Versace-like versions. It would've been glorious. Then the reality of this thread hits me like a brick.

The originals would still be in place though, kinda like now, but better. If we take PS:T as an example - in a perfect world they'd fix the combat and encounters, add content to Curst and beyond (with the help of MCA obviously) and on top of that have better pathfinding and more resolutions (like they are doing now). In that perfect world if someone wanted to play PS:T with the shitty combat and almost-pointless Curst section they'd have the chance, but everyone else, who isn't dumb, would prefer the vastly superior new version.
As it stands now, Beamdog parasitize much better games than they can ever hope to make and piss off basically everyone, doubly so because they make it harder to find digital versions of the originals.
) but the bit about the localizations was pretty neat. Didn't know there was a huge D&D fanbase in Asia and Korea. The Polish box cover and package sounded cool as well. Anyone here have the original t-shirt?
