Baldur's Gate EE Trailer
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is due to come out on the 28th of November. It doesn't look all that enhanced, really. But personally I'm glad they didn't change it too much, but instead gave the original game a spit-and-polish. I just wish that polish didn't cost $20. I found a list of changes that have been made to the Enhanced Edition, posted by a (probably trustworthy) Reddit user. I'm lazy, so I'm going to copy it onto here: Quote:
Link to the Reddit post. Roll on November 28th! |

I feel like it was a bit of a waste of time really, since modders have already enhanced the Baldur's Gate games pretty well. Not to mention GemRB, which (afaik) allows for the games to be played on a variety of platforms.
I'm also not entirely convinced by the new additions (how they look and how well they're integrated), but hopefully that will be covered in reviews and such. |

I'll probably still buy it, if only as an excuse to play Baldur's Gate again, but I wouldn't blame others if they gave it a miss. $20 is a bit steep for what they're offering. |

Considering you can buy the GOG.com versions for $9.99 each, $20 for one of them seems a bit much, especially since they're so content-heavy the extra stuff is unlikely to be particularly worth it.

yep, exactly Panthro.
Still have some hope for Icewind Dale though. But doubt they'll be able P:T.

20$ is extremely steep when I managed to get the Anthology for 15$ and can probably mod more content into it... I might just get it for the multiplayer support though, not sure.

There should be some rebate for current BG owners (I have the Saga edition).
While the original videos weren't exactly to my liking, I'm not happy to see them completely replaced. Maybe they should be made available as an option? |

Widescreen support, yes. BG2 features yes. You can all mod it in. But have you tried playing it in high 16:9 resolutions? If you can read the text for more then an hour without your eyes starting to hurt, then I salute you. Not to mention that the resized UI is miniscule as well. Not to mention that this one is aimed at people who don't wish to spend hours singling out and installing the mods minding the order etc. Though EE will have mod support as well, so I'm sure the community will release their WeiDU mods again. Anyway the zoom function, the multi platform multiplayer and the UI improvements are worth it afaik. Or you can just wait until it goes to sale in a bit *shrug*
