I still have to complete it... Playing co-op and my friend and i only have almost no time to play. We should try to complete it before this patch.

You don't have to. Files-wise it's a separate game, not a path. You will be able to play the old version even when the extended edition will come out.

I think there won't be a hardcore mode. In his blog he explicitly states that they decided to only do the necessary things on D:OS and focus "the creative energy" on the new one.

One of our biggest issues was that we suddenly had two games to maintain on PC. One was singlethreaded, the other multithreaded. One was based on DirectX 11, the other on DirectX 9. One had limited camera rotation allowing for certain pieces of level design to be incomplete, the other a 360 degree camera. One was live, the other wasn’t etc…

It quickly became impossible to do things on both games simultanously as the changes become bigger and bigger, and so at some point we had to make a choice. We decided to do only the really necessary things on D:OS and focus all of our creative energy on the Enhanced Edition.

"Continue supporting" the modding tools, lol.

Console involvement is always a concern. Hopefully their next games aren't affected like most consolized titles.

Actually, I re-read that and he says they're focusing the creative energy on the new edition of DOS, not on the new project. So I don't think you read it right. "Do the necessary things on D:OS" = on the old version of D:OS, which he separates from EE.

The update video explicitly mentions new game modes. There were four blurred out icons.

That's what I meant. For D:OS there will be only fixes, the creative energy will go into EE, and this includes - in my opinion - also the rebalancing etc. formerly planned for the hardcore mode. So in EE, there might be a hardcore mode, or they'll incorporate ideas from that in the "normal" EE gameplay.

Yes, I was unclear: There might be a hardcore mode in EE, but - most probably - not in "legacy" D:OS.

They already took care of the difficulty slump in some previous patch if you didnt know. Resistances are capped at 80% or something so you wont get healed from elemental attacks anymore. Also damage done by highlevel mobs should be higher now.

Y'know, since I have no intention of downloading 10+ gigs of this in the near-future, nor am I going to buy another retail copy should one happen, I'm just going to put D:OS-as is right next in my queue. The January 30 rebalancing will have to do.

As usual, my attention to detail pays off. http://www.lar.net/2015/05/15/enhanced-edition/

A shitload was invested in our Enhanced Edition and a lot of people have been working on it for a long time. Other than the small but not unimportant detail that it’s coming to PS4 and Xbox One, our Enhanced Edition features reworked dialogs all voiced by AAA actors, a story & world that has been drastically improved with hours of new content, not only during the game but also at the ending (that part that gets played by 5% of players), a truckload of new features & improvements and game modes that play incredibly different to the normal mode because we replaced pretty much every encounter.

I wonder if the next game will have consoles in mind from the get go. I hope not, but the current trend show otherwise.

And we added a lot of extra stuff in terms of new styles of playing, new modes, new quests that have been added, old ones modified. Anything we could find that was worth doing, we did it. There’s also everything that we did with the controller for the console version – that is supported on PC as well, which means you can now play on a couch with splitscreen, through Steam Big Picture for instance.

Our problems with images being downscaled in spoiler tags is because Swen has a codex voodoo doll! :negative:

After seeing this troll I had an idea? You know what's funny? If Larian manages to push out the Enchanced Edition before the end of the year and if it's get trated on the Dex as a separate game, becasue if they are adding content it's like an exapnsion there is a chance that Larian will get 2 GOTY rewards on the Dex twice in a row, for the same game. Isn't that amusing?
