Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

Who the fuck turns off their PC? Heathens.

The same people who think Win8 is good?

BGEE Chat:Ifthe big patch lives up to the hype andifthey actually bring BG2 out andifthey do ToB as well then the EE is worth it. Otherwise go to GOG, buy theoriginalversionsandinstall the recommended mods.

German electric companies like to rape, I turn my shit off when I'm not using it (only my fridges stay plugged in 24/7).

Releases November 15th

Become a God.

Kidnapped. Imprisoned. Tortured. The wizard Irenicus holds you captive in his stronghold, attempting to strip you of the powers that are your birthright.

Can you resist the evil within you, forge a legend of heroic proportions, and ultimately destroy the dark essence that haunts your dreams? Or will you embrace your monstrous nature, carve a swath of destruction across the realms, and ascend to godhood as the new Lord of Murder?

Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition brings this critically acclaimed role-playing experience to PC, Mac, iPad, and Android

Dragons. Drow. Giants. Destroy them all.

Lead your party of skilled adventurers into intense, tactical battles. Lure your enemies into deadly traps, call down magical meteors to smash them, and stop time itself to win the day. A diverse array of powers and abilities let you transform into a being of pure elemental force, or wield the might of the heavens with the Holy Avenger.

Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition combines both Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. Bundled with the game on PC and Mac, and available as DLC on iPad and Android, are four diverse new characters, each with their own epic quest. Venture to the distant sands of Zakhara with your new companions, or lead them in a raid upon the home of the gods.

Pre-purchase Now!

Finally picked this up and the latest patched really did add some nice upgrades including better UI and crisp fonts. Doing solo multiplayer mode so I can make all 6 characters. Current setup is:

- Paladin (Blackguard)
- Fighter (Dwarven Defender)
- Bard (Skald)
- Cleric (Priest of Lathander)
- Thief (Swashbuckler)
- Sorcerer (Dragon Disciple)

All classes I never tried back in the day when the game first came out. Gonna take this party all the way through Throne of Bhaal.

Did they ever fix the multiplayer issues? I used to play with some friends but we got tired of reloading the game everytime we zoned. It crashed every single time we changed to a new map.

New UI from the megapatch is fantastic. Looking forward to playing this for the millionth time. I'm in the nashkal mines now, and it seems like they've added some ridiculous stuff. There's a 1 handed mace that has 25% chance to stun, it's pretty nuts. The weird thing was it was just sitting in a drawer somewhere in beregrost. I need to check out what else they added, but BG2 kits and some of the weapons seem pretty cool.

So anyone got BG2 EE yet?

My first impressions of BG2:EE are very positive. It looks great, the text is so sharp and easy to read compared to how small everything would be if you used the weidu widescreen mod. I haven't noticed that many changes, but there's a new loot thing so you can see everything on the ground in an area instead of clicking on every pile

Leaving the house and working a job are both foreign concepts to Sean so don't try and reason here

Heh, I'm not even looking at the changes... BG2 was about as perfect a game as it gets.

Need to finish my current BG1 play through and import my bitch in to BG2 once I get to the xp cap.

My last BG2+TOB playthrough was a little ridiculous as a Kensai/Thief so this time going something different should be interesting

Once you start being able to zoom in and out like 5x with the mousewheel, you never go back. The UI cleanup is astounding, too.

I know I am niche at best but does not work on triple monitor. Well it does but it is set to the far left side so using up 1 and 1/2 monitor space, is there any way to set the resolution manually? Found the ini file in BG EE but don't see one for BG2.

Been playing this recently. BG2 with all the mods I have is sooo huge. Just Region of Terror and Check the Bodies is insane.

Do these mods work with the Enhanced editions? If so, I may have to go ahead and purchase these.

Much of a chance that BG2 EE goes on sale during Black Friday on steam or winter sale or that too soon ?
