    Just wanted to say I've been checking this section frequently since November. There will still be two copies with my name on it. I'll be patiently watching.

    Ok I am very very angry now. I paid good money for a new toilet seat complete with an attached Japanese made stainless steel business end spray system as well as my Nexus Android. I will not buy apple as they have a cloistering system that forces one to use their software programs and platforms. I realize some of you have greater less brown study plans upon your minds weighing you down with matters of importance you deem enjoyable to dispel while entertained intellectually with your android whilst finding a favorable point of direct fire on the the enemy white target. I do not want to seem racist against white toilets persons in greater matters than the live fire and tested in the waters of cleanliness groupings who are not entertained by lowly matters like the smash of Tiax's mighty mace or the sound of the burst it makes on being fired. I will fire it until freedom and justice are one and no paladin enemy can hear the sound of my burst I will burst it there are many seats like it but android and rifle fire will not be mine. THat is I will be safe and sound and able to playing on my android. I am angry as well I have been having trouble without turnips and believe Tiax should be allowed to duel wield fight Jan and teach him the greatness of Cyric or at least Maces over turnips. The preordained fate he has is an affront to all megalomaniacs who see Tiax as the ideal sensible model. I do not think that is much to ask. How many children can play android games in a Borders Books cafe with out using the toilet before leaving home? The mothers could testify on this but it is inconsequential to my own pleasure. Namely I need to be able to be in a covered and concealed position while giving a grid to Tiax to send wand of the heavens fire down upon our enemy on my android if I can also do this at Starbucks and laugh insanely when Flaming Fist die and not be kicked out by the cafe manger then what harm am I causing anyone not also insane?

    So to be facile and exacting I hope Trent is getting some good ruffage in his diet and the Android crew is not suffering from lower bowel problems from excessive sedative programming times and abundance of fast food colon clogging processed calories. Try to order some sides of peppers and salsa from taco bell. I only wish it is done and done well and that I will see Taix smite the fools who oppose his inevitable rule soon.

    I hope the release comes soon so we can dispense with these requests.

    Common guys, I'm yearning.

    Time is of the essence. Speak so that I may learn. If a tree falls in the Cloakwood forest and strikes Tiax and kills him, and if 3 bears come and eat him, and if his iron mace rusts to nothing and his lame studded leather rots and weathers away, and if a large magic monkey comes upon his buried unseen bones and poops above his skull; does the android version not get published?

    The vital matter that rests heavy on the shoulders of the world is of course things that concern me and my leisure: will I be sitting with a caramel latte at starbucks soon on my nexsus playing BG enhanced addition while growling and periodically laughing in spastic guffaws, uttering commands like:
    "Halt Horgan you don't walk away from Tiax! You will give your armor and gold too!"
    Also, I demand Taix have an ending possible story in BG 2 TOB where he is paid homage to as he is meant to rule.... maybe like this:

    "Tiax goes on to rule Baldurs Gate and use Qualye as his chamber pot cleaner due to a geas on him. Immortal Tiax embraces undeath as the most powerful Twilight vampire werewolf in all the realms eating all sorts of nice cheeses and casting hold person spells on any fool who disrespects his great person then threatening to have them executed; but instead leaving them held and wandering off to go cheese shopping with tax payer coin. Unlike normal vampires, Tiax continues to be a eat - only cheese - and enjoy his hobbit burglar wife who untiringly tries to convince him that Cyric is mad and not to be copied."

    Awesome. So now we can use our android device to reference the rules while we play the game on our PC or iPad.

    I am sorry to say this, but I am not willing to purchase an iphone apple product, nor do I want to play on my laptop. I want to play on my android phone. While I am at work, taking a break, on a bus, or even taking a 5 minute ground shaking crap on my shiny throne. Please Trent, if you read this, could you please give us some hope. Reading a post that you are fixing bugs, still and working on BG2 was not very hopefully. It made me feel forgotten and that I will more likely to see BG2 released on apple, before I see bg on android........... *hangs head* A wise guy once said, You can do or do not, there is no try.... Which is it?

    regards

    Some of these comments sound straight outta Miami Vice: "I need my fix, now man. Stop holdin out on me!" Maybe we should start a BGEE 12 step. And we haven't even started using again.

    Playing BG on a smartphone = nerdiness level: 100% :D
  • MystraTheMageMystraTheMage Member Posts: 71
    I am 100% nerd tapped. It has been a very long time, I think everyone can agree on that. P.s BG2 will be fantastic I am sure, and I look forward to it, but I believe the android release has been put on the kobold back burner, side they can make fast bucks from an iphone/pc release of bg2. Obviously many people have gone out and got iphones etc so they can play, but I will not bow to the dark side of the force.

    Go Trent go, we don't need multiplayer yet, j7st release it and add multi in a later patch. :)

    If this could be done by June 5th so I can play it on the 5 hour trip to my friend's cabin, that'd be just swell. Mostly because my friend has an BG:EE on her iPad and I told her to buy an Android tablet because they're better. (I still say they are)

    So...is there an idea of an android release date now? (glad that I finally get to ask this question again)
  • shiftedshifted Member Posts: 5
    I agree. With all this downtime the Android release should be imminent. It's only what...9 month over due by now?
  • sepottersepotter Member Posts: 367
    I've got my fingers crossed for release by the end of the month, but then I have had my fingers crossed for 9 months now, so I guess it's not working.
  • pixie359pixie359 Member Posts: 251
    That is very ambitious. They have said it'll be after the patch, which will be after the beta, which hasn't got a date yet. Maybe by the end of next month?

    Either that or they will wait until after November 15th so they can release 1 and 2 at the same time on android. I just hope it is out before the new year...

    I'm excited to get BGEE Android for Xmas 2012 ^_^
  • AristilliusAristillius Member Posts: 873
    Where I am now I feel like we could expect it this month or around christmas. Really hard to anticipate, and it *is* their first android app after all, so I would expect some troubles. I guess I should just try to see it as a welcome surprise when we eventually get it :)

    YESSSS...COME TO THE DARK SIDE...

    Buying the PC version does not help. The desire for the ability to run such an awesome game on a portable device just becomes stronger.
