character Import will still work. We're looking for new ways to attach the games
Any word on how the game looks compared to Baldur's Gate with widescreen mod right now? Same or different/better?
it will be better. We've got the code to rework the UI and rendering
BGEE will be all 2D. We're using the hardware for acceleration.
We would never change the music
We are not removing any content, just not going to 100% VO for new characters
bgee is 2nd Edition D&D. Our first rule is don't break the fun. Part of the appeal of BG was the depth of the rules system
We haven't changed the save game formats yet. Hopefully nothing comes up that forces that on us
We're using the latest code from BGII Thronw of Bhall as our base, so everything in BG II and ToB will be there + what we add
We're going to stay with the BG model of only voicing some of the content. We feel it allows for more in-depth writing.
We want #BG3 as well. #bgee is a part of the master plan.
We're very interested in supporting the modding community and hopefully kicking off even more mods[/indent]We'll be rolling screens out in the future. Same place, Same time next week. Hopefully less server fires.
We take mods seriously. (I led NWN after all) mods both current and future are important. More announcements to come
