http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/baldurs-gate/news/baldurs_gate_1_2,36221,2565072.html It's a german article about BG and BG2 beeing released on Steam. It is nothing official but a gaming website found out the IDs of these games in the registry database. So a Steam release seems reasonable. Going to buy BG2 for sure (if it is not totally overpriced). Maybe this information should be added to the op. Edit: of course gonna buy BG2, because i lost my cd. May happen from time to time. ^^ I btw still remember how all the gaming magazines were shocked about BG2 needing more than 1 GB of HD space. :-) | ||

Not all the new hack n slay stuff combined with really weird character screens (flashy stuff without depth...). Question though: Is it even possible to get away from D&D? The game plays in Faerun, which is D&D world no? Would they be allowed to use its history and content and apply a different ruleset to the game? sure, if they include a toolset like the one of NWN you can do whatever you want, even like develop a new game called Witcher | ||

When i was young i was like 'the fuck is this shit' but now that i'm older i have an appreciation for how much more complicated and fun it actually is. I like my spell protections and pierce magics. | ||

I like my spell protections and pierce magics. aye, me and my dnd-friends have been playing 2,5 ed for almost 15 years now.. Its not as often as it used to be, since we're all around 30 now and some of us with wives and kids, but we still try to get together once a month to make some good food, drink some red wine and roll some dice We tried the 3rd ed several times but they didn't really go down too well with any of us, so it's been 15 years of 2,5 ed - So I might be abit biased :-) | ||

It better be chock full of tables ... multi char parties ... none of this fps bullshit ... turn based ... AND REALLY REALLY HARD in a way that requires tactics and strategy to win rather than abusing dumb ai. /brushes off old sorceror | ||

FPS rpg's have a totally different focus than party based ones. Hence why never winter nights was just pants for me. Fallout3 was only cool because of the imemrsive world. Skyrim is basically fallout3 with prettier graphics (yes it was cool, buyt really all the acclaim it got was from fucking noobs who haven't kept up with the scene - what did it do better apart from graphics? And more is not better) ... The point is that the goals of the games are different. Dont let that make you think they cant do somethign different with it though. Its all about the requirements.

Oh please let it be so! A new baldurs gate.. I've played them both countless times, probably more than i should have.. Battling firkraag over and over.. I think i can do the irenicus dungeon dialogue by memory alone Yes! i want to go back to Candlekeep! Back to the sword coast, backto Amn and spellhold. Gimme it now. But keep it turnbased, and preferably isometric (i can wish!). Don't... Forget... To Raise... Me.... | ||
