In that case they don't count as far as opinions about cRPG like Bg1EE go and my statement is unchanged.We have a lot more than 700 active users, but most of them don't play any RPGs.
Ugh, such a fucking shame.The original Baldur's Gate assets were destroyed in a flood (they were being stored in some garage).

If they are thinking about going 3D (or 2.5D) then they should just license Larian's DoS-engine instead and just go full 3D.Inb4 Unity.
Unless they fix the loading times, i would honestly prefer they use IE againWell I would love if Beamdog's next game would use PoE tech but remove shit like disengagement or crappy non D&D ruleset.

One thing that surprised me was the firm "no crunch time" philosophy at Beamdog. Cool stuff.
Did Shane speak of "Sage of Dragonspear" instead of "Siege" ? Did I hear it right?

Yeah, it's nice. We'll see how well it works out with regard to releasing a bug-free product on Thursday.
Beamdog has mentioned that they may readjust BG2 a bit to deal with the player's higher starting level. That said, it really shouldn't be a huge deal since BG2 level scales.Guys,if the Max lvl you can get to is 12 wouldn't that affect baldurs gate 2 if you import the save?
I would as well but I think they said this is their last IE game, they are just going to keep supporting it now.Unless they fix the loading times, i would honestly prefer they use IE againWell I would love if Beamdog's next game would use PoE tech but remove shit like disengagement or crappy non D&D ruleset.
It means 2 more levels for all classes. After certain levels xp needed for level up rise sharply.yikes
Yeah, nothing confirmed. But if BG3 is not what Gaider is there for, then what the hell is it?Pretty sure that's tongue in cheek... but just to make sure....???
So, how many people here know the canon fate of the protagonist Bhaalspawn?
In the Forgotten Realms novels, the protagonist Bhaalspawn, Abdel Adrian ends up turning down the Throne of Bhaal, and walking away from it while retaining his Bhaalspawn essence.
WotC have released a tabletop P&P campaign called "Murder in Baldur's Gate", in which Duke Abdel Adrian is slain by his half-brother Viekang (the teleporting Bhaalspawn in Trademeet and Saradush), which transforms Viekang into the Slayer. When the players of the campaign kill Slayer-Viekang, Bhaal is resurrected.
So basically, all the protagonist Bhaalspawn's actions in Baldurs Gate 1, 2 and ToB, were for nothing. Bhaal still got what he wanted, his children were nothing more than the fuel for his resurrection after all.
I think these events, are going to make it very hard for Beamdog to get permission to make a BG 3, unfortunately.

There's a good chance that the beta release of the quest and creature XP reducing mod Ding0's Experience Fixer will work on SoD, as well as the rest of the EE releases.yikes

Yes, it is a slippery slope.
