If you read the past bajillion pages, you'll see that people's issues with the EE are a bit more complicated (some are even valid!) than "updat3d 3ng1n BAD! ME SMASH!".

Oh yes, I've read everything in this thread and still my impression is - people are just afraid of something new.
All right, only a couple of days left for everyone to know if BGEE is worth it.

Final countdown \o/

Sounds like it only applies to the Android/Mac versions of the game.

So uh
When is this coming out? I want to get my download on

[Andrea C.]

Tomorrow. 28th November 2012.

[smeagolheart]

I believe it's available now at least it is according to my beamdog launcher. 78% complete download at the moment

[Kaeloree]

That's the pre-load; you won't actually be able to play until tomorrow.

but I preloaded it already a couple days ago when they sent the email that you could pre-load? And it looks different now, it says launch not pre-load but you are probably right

It could be an update, I think there's been one in the meantime If it's playable, let us know!

[Aranthys]

11 hours to go \o/
Perfect timing, the game'll be available at 9PM here in france, right when I get back from work

6.5 hours till 8pm UK, hopefully this will mean a revival to the modding community as well.

Hell, I may even learn to mod!

Let me sum up the changes for modding (as far as I understood):

A) Skripting updated to ToB-Level.
B) Some Fixes and Mods included.
C) GUI can be modded.

A) can be done by using BGT, B by installing bg2fixpack, tobex and so on and for C) ... I like the BG2-GUI.

So for me there is no mind-boggeling reason why so many people would start to mod if you still have more or less the same scripting and are in need of edit textfiles and a bunch of WeiDU-Fu. I also guess that most guys that will buy the game did so before, since if you like RPG, it's unlikely that you would have missed that one game and run through it now and start to think: Wow , this game needs some modding. I'd also dare to say that if you like to play with a game editor, other games like NWN or so (which ship with one) may be more attractive. If it will be that way, I'd guess that a lot of them could be modified to be used in the "older" versions of the game.

Don't get me wrong, it will not hurt for EE to come out and all, but I don't see the big impact for modding.

Really Kotaku?

Then you run into a terrifying guy named Sarevok.

Uh...yeah, sure we all know who he is but come on, at least SOME spoiler alerts would be nice.

Nobody's going to spoiler tag a 15 year old game. Incidentally, Rosebud was his sled

Heh, what were they?

[Yovaneth]

2 minutes into the game and I found two bugs. Sigh. Incompetence.

[Edit] NM. I've decided I don't want to start a flamewar.

-Y-
