Baldurs Gate - Steam & New Version Thread

I nearly raged then when I read above that it was only going to be on Ipad. Calmed down though when I read it was going to be on PC too :)
 
Been playing Avadon: The Black Fortress on tablet - craving another play-through of BGII.

Would love this on Android! Especially if you could combine BGI&II like on PC.
 
Got it from the Humble Bundle for $10 (http://www.humblebundle.com/)

It's good, one of the few tablet-centric games I've played beyond the tutorial. Definitely worthy of a look if you like Baldur's Gate, only three party members at once (...so far, but I'm 5-10 hours in).

Shame they out-sourced the development, don't think you can transfer/sync save games between PC & Android like you can with ipad version :(
 
I'm not sure why anyone wants a BG3. Throne of Bhaal didn't end with a sequel hook and any new game would have to use the 4th Ed rules and settings, which makes it all rather pointless :(
 
@d4j0k3r We want to do Planescape: Torment after the BG series. #bgee

From Trent Osters twitter feed. Apparently future projects, including BG3, depend on how well BGEE does.

Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition: Interview @ Gamebanshee

GB: If Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition sell well, would you prefer to move on to the remaining Infinity Engine games or pursue an entirely new title in the Baldur’s Gate franchise?

Trent: Regardless of how the game sells, we are committed to making a BG2 Enhanced Edition. We are still discussing the other Infinity Engine games and a potential BG3 with our partners at Wizards of the Coast and Atari. At the moment, we're trying to be flexible and seize the right opportunities. Regardless of the outcome, we will have a team that knows how to make a great RPG and has experience on PC, Mac and iPad, which puts us in a pretty great spot. The recent Kickstarter successes paint a pretty picture for experienced teams executing on the games they love to build, so we're pretty jazzed about the opportunities even if we can't make the other stuff happen.

GB: How will you be distributing the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition at launch? Will it be exclusive to Beamdog, or might we see it on Steam and other digital download platforms on day one?

Trent: Day one Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition will be exclusive to Beamdog on the PC, the Mac App Store and iTunes for the iPad. We're working out a Beamdog player-free solution for the BG fans that really don't want another client, so the user experience should be great.

Due to Wizard of the Fail Coast's licensing requirements, all new D+D games have to use the latest edition which would make a BG3 pointless, because the AD&D2 ruleset and infinity engine was vastly superior to all the trash that came after it.

Its bloody ridiculous that they wont allow anyone to make anymore AD&D2 games.
