Beamdog has a lot of former game devs on staff. They ended up with the rights to do an HD remake, and they're going to use said HD remake to (at least initially) drive buyers to their own client, which they've been trying to build up for awhile. I'd imagine it was a sort of deal where they took less money up front for a period of exclusivity.

Two things: first, do I need the original Baldurs gate for this? Doesn't seem so. Second, why isn't there more excitement about this??? It's baldurs gate made new!

Not enough advertising, and no hype-campaign.

Also, I want BG3!!! :P

No, you don't need to have any prior versions.    And there is a LOT of excitement / anticipation from the iPad crowd for this   ;-)

Currently they're late on the release, and the official forum is so flooded you can't even access it.

It says on the site it's released now at 20 clams, no client installed required.

I'm tempted...like to hear some impressions first.  I never did get around to more than dabbling with the original BG.

I've been playing it a bit and frankly, the old problem I had with the BG series of games comes up again.
That major beef I have with the game.
The limited party of 6.

I keep running into more and more interesting characters I want to have tagging along and yet I can't.
The fact they've added 2 more interesting ones (Neera, a female half-elf  Wild Mage, and Dorn-il-Khan, a male half-orc Blackguard) only makes it far worse.

I've just run into Minsc (and Boo of course), and I want him in my party. But I already have my 5 (Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Neera, Garrick).
I'm considering to dump Jaheira&Khalid when done with them a bit and replacing them with Minsc&Boo and his elven lady-friend.

Ohh well, at least ditching Xvar and his annoying psychopathic halfing fighter friend was an easy choice (I'm Lawful Good, can't have Chaotic Evil tagging along).
