Hi all.
Hope I'm posting in the right section.
I decided to get Baldur's Gate EE version, today and am looking forward to playing it (it's downloading now as I post this message).
I'm an old-time D&D Player (Pen and Paper) from years ago (though I've not done that for a looong time now), and am now an avid PC Gamer.
I am a Steam-User (I have a large collection of games I've got via Steam these last couple of years or so), but after lurking about these forums, and the Steam forums, off and on for a couple of days, I decided I'd prefer to purchase BG:EE direct from the BeamDog site for a few reasons;
* I wanted to better support the Developers / Beamdog.
* It seems that Steam's version of BG:EE is behind in being updated with current patches (and it appears it may be lag behind in any future updates / patches as well). So, I also prefer to be able to have the most up-to-date version of the game and when the newest updates are released.
* The forums here seem more friendly and helpful towards fellow Players of the BG:EE game.
* I'm open-minded enough, and not against, having more than 1 gaming-client on my computer.
BTW, if it wasn't for BG:EE being on Steam, I wouldn't even have known about this version of the game being available, so I guess that's a good thing it's on Steam too and may help bring in some new Players of this game that may not have otherwise even known about it.
Anyways, it looks like my download just finished. Now to try it out, get a good hit of nostalgia, and slay some Orcs and what-not. Cheers! :)
