(Hope this doesn't come across to negatively, I'm very happy Baldurs Gate is getting attention. just some feedback this)
The amount of content I can have in my modded BG1 and BG2 game is quite immense. This enhanced version does not seem to come close to bringing me a Baldurs Gate experience better than a modded original one.
I have in my Baldur's Gate1+2 install hundreds of mods. They offer me loads of new weapons,areas,enemies,quests,screen resolutions and running bg1 in bg2 engine, harder AI and new character kits/classes. Plus linking the two games(story lines) together.
(sure, it's a pain to set it up and get a stable build running without hassles if you want it to be big. Once it's up though; it's a sweet experience.)
As I look on the main page of EE, the only thing that interests me game play wise are these 400 improvements to the original game. What are these improvements? Are they bugs you mean? (that i'm guessing probably have been squashed by a mod/patch?)
I am finding it hard to see why I should get BG:EE, as it is not really offering something new to me. And an "offer of support" will hardly include(i think) support for mod installation ;)
I'm an old Baldur's Gate player, and what I'm looking for in a Bladur's Gate re-release is more content to the original.
What is being done in Enhanced Edition has already been done by others as I see it, and it's not even linking BG1&2 together which is quite upsetting for such an old game ;)
I think a re-release of Baldur's Gate should try to incorporate some of the great mods and conversions that are already out there if the developers can't supply their own.
It would make a richer, longer and fuller game.
A new version could offer mod support with regards to making them compatible with each other. Perhaps some centralized system(experienced modders review of sorts) that all mods can go through to make them compatible to a massive "1-click install" Baldur's Gate experience.
Quantity is very important in a Bladur's Gate game for me. I've played BG1 a-LOT, and I would pay for a game that expands upon original in a way that does this. A tiny subscription fee I could accept even.
If you were to, in the beginning, shift focus away from making your own game, into offering support for content already made, I would pay for that alone.
But to pay for a single standalone quest alone..? No, thank you very much :)
If BG:EE was to add loads of new content that offer new areas and quests + fluff, then yes. But as it is now, it doesn't interest me to much.
What does Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition offer experienced Baldur's Gate players is what I am wondering here...
