I'm trying to remember from before:  In what way is this version "enhanced"?

"If we had lines here that would have crossed all of them. For the 1,077,986th time." - Gusington

"Government is so expensive that it should at least be entertaining." - airboy

"As long as there's bacon, everything will be all right." - Toonces

Bug fixes, engine improvements, new content, HD resolutions would be the primary "enhanced" thingys.

Still have the original game and expansions on CD, will wait until they get their act together before buying the enhanced edition.

It seems that people are splitted about this enhanced edition: http://steamcommunity.com/app/228280/discussions/  :o

Yes, I had read some reviews a few weeks back (don't have the links now) and there were quite a few that said the graphics enhancements and added content were ok but not so much as to warrant a $20.00 purchase....in the end it is just a prettier looking Baldurs Gate but if you had played the original you might be left disappointed that this enhanced version didn't have much more to offer.  I read this stuff but in fairness I haven't purchased nor played the enhanced version.

Tempting.

I so loved the original, but IIRC it was mostly on rails. I wonder how its gameplay stands the test of time?
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
