Check this out: http://www.pcgamer.c...mminent-reveal/ . A surprise is in the works by Beamdog .

 

A Baldur's Gate set between 1 and 2, curious to see what's that about .

[Bill Bisco]

Yeup. Adventure Y. I am curious as well. I hope it's a fitting interquel

[Sergio]

the real question is how bad it will be

[The Imp]

You could ask that question when there's a person that can actually legitimately tell you, a person that's not part of the development team nor have a conection to them. Could you ... stop obsessing about a thing that's not here yet ? WE HAVE NO F-ing INCLING what the F.. it's about for real. Yes, there's this that and those. It's what's called a HYPE DRAIN, come here, p**s on these %&¤#, they'll such you dry and be real happy about it.
Enough. Clear ? ... try and get a patience. You are still 12 days off.

What's wrong about getting a little excited about the possibly of a new Baldur's Gate game? If it really is true, great, if not, it would be another similar game, so also great. Win Win.

I definitely recommend waiting for reviews or for someone from this community to review. I've gotten burned on bad games before. Hopefully it's a worthy game.

I'm excited  To early to judge content, but what I'm looking forward to the most is another step for Infinity Engine. Beamdog implemented tons of new engine stuff to EE games and all of them were related to a relatively small NPC content and Black Pits campaign. Now, with all new game, I hope for another round of engine improvements that will (hopefully) make modding these games even more enjoyable.

Keep dreaming.  I expect nothing less than reasonableness from either side.

Well, practically nothing on your part of the posting, but the calculator was announced by Almateria already, and you could see the other reactions to your posting:

Keep dreaming.

and did you react to it. NO... And worse still, there's threads like this.
Seems to me that people have been burned already, without the thing even out yet. And there's the judgement. So you loose. -yes, that's a mockery for the "Win, Win."

 

Notice also that I didn't quote K4thos, the maker of the EET. Because he hasn't yet had to make his mind about this game, that's not out yet. Cause, it's assumable that; He is a reasonable person. And not a fake out hater of everything new. If it's a news for you: Yes, K4thos is actually just expressing his hopes, a thing that's natural for this stage of the process. Nothing more.

[dreamer2007]

I am a hopeful dreamer, can't help myself, its all in the name . And a game that's similar to Baldur's Gate by Beamdog simply sounds good, and I don't see any reason to be pessimistic about it already, since there is nothing posted except a timer.

 

You choose to be negative about it, okay, your choice, but you shouldn't try to stop me from being positive about it. Maybe I'm wrong and the game will not be good or BG, but maybe I'm right. No one knows.

Take a chill pill

[dreamer2007]

Okay, so it seems that the "new game" is actually an expansion to BGEE, called Siege of the Dragonspear. Still, good news

 

Here you can see Beamdog's stream describing the expansion.

Perfect summary

[Bill Bisco]

No standalone: it is an expansion for bg1ee

Yea, that's what I understood as well initially.

[The Imp]

At least from what they showed ... it actually seemed to be a stand alone expansion. It has an independent map... and this screenshot from the Twitch show, would strongly indicate a standalone/a fully independent game, and they said what they said about the import export function and so forth:

Standalone expansion that requires bgee? Not sure.

[Bill Bisco]

One thing to note is the fact that this new badgirl Caelar Argent is not mentioned at all in bg2 or in tob. No hell trial. No Abyss Caelar or anything. Ascension mod will now feel weird and people will ask where is Caelar? Why not another dead Bhaalspawn to fight? I hope Beamdog will continue to create content for bg2ee and bridge some story content gaps that are now being created by this interquel. I will say that this early army battle excites me greatly. Kudos to them for that. I've wanted something polished like that for a long time.
