Baldur's Gate series is one of my most favourite series, the top one being Planescape Torment, but as far as BG goes, it's high up on my list. I absolutely can't wait for this, because Trent Oster hinted if this and the enhanced second edition sell well, they will begin work on the third. Which would just immense.

To make this thread have more, who was ya favourite character of the original series and why?

For me it was Garret, Xzar and Imoen -- as too why, well Garret because of how he talks while dying, and trying to escape, Xzar because his dialogue and exchanges are hilarious in the mods, and Imoen well because she's just so cute --- yes I do know spoilers for number, but despite that, way she acts is extremely cute.

For second one Nalia and Yoshimo. As to why for them, Nalia because her story arc and dialogue is interesting to me and Yoshimo well not played enough to answer, but I like how he seems to be modelled on the idea of a samurai -- note played more Baldur's Gate 1 than number 2.

P.S I checked for previous threads on the actual update of the game, but it was only mentioning the announcement.
 
What!? Minsc isn't your favorite!?
 
Minsc is nice and all, but a lot of the characters were great.
For me the most entertaining ones were Jan Janse, Edwyn and this clinically depressed elf whose name I forgot. He had the battlecry "We're all domed ! We're all doomed" and kept talking about how our quest is futile.

Do you mean Xan? Also I'm guessing people commenting will probably buy this once it's out.
 
Edwin, the gender bender, was amusing.
 
What's enhanced about it? Link to information on this? If it's more than cosmetic changes I'll probably get it, otherwise I can just play the original since I'm not a graphics whore.

This was list from my Trent Osters own tweets, but can tell ya they kept original voice files, there will be new NPC, new quests and new areas. All the added stuff isn't necessary in the overall story.

Also Manical as stated, none of the threads found commented on the actual unveiling, therefore made this one, since a lot of new stuff been announced, like crew involved.
 
The new content, especially DLC sounds like it may be awesome.

We need to set up a CFC on-going multiplayer campaign, who's with me? Butt-kicking for goodness!
 
New content means it's probably a buy for me depending on what they are charging. Pretty unlikely to be willing to pay $60 for it but if it's in the $20-$30 range then we'll probably be in business.
 
I'd be game, I'd probably go a paladin or cleric.

Sweet. Don't forget, we have all the kits/classes from BGII/ToB as well. So I'm not sure what I'll be yet, it's been a while since I played. I'll probably go with some kind of Fighter though, I'm probably really rusty and don't want to pick a hard one to start with. Mages are tough at level 1, IIRC.

Actually, I died a lot even as a Fighter, lol. But I think that's because I sucked at micromanaging my NPC allies.

PC's can be different alignments right? I've never done multiplayer before, but there's no reason I can't be an evil fighter and you being a LG paladin, right?
 
I don't think there's any game rule against it but from an RP perspective it would be difficult for his paladin to justify hanging out with you ;).

The other idea is I go a bard and multiclass out the wazoo XD.
 
Dang thanks to this thread I had to reinstall and start a game of Baldur's Gate.

One of the great things I'm looking forward to is the digital download. I can't stand having 5 or 6 discs for each game. All that disc swapping is annoying too.

Am I the only one that's never played a multiplayer game yet? Is there only one Bhaalspawn or is each PC a Bhaalspawn?
 
There is little in the expanded edition that seems even remotely interesting. DLC is something that will tend to make me run away rather than attract me, and the "content made by some of the original creators" is way too vague for me (especially if it ends up being the terrible "Ascension mod" or the like).

The original game is for sale at 10 bucks on GoG (and yes, it's digital download and without DRM, for people like PeteAtoms that dislike using CD ^^). Until this project brings enough to the table to be better than this deal, I'm going to be "meh".

Does the GoG download have higher resolutions to play with?
