Do you want to see BG2 and Throne of Bhaal done in the same way?

I am sure this has been put up before (sorry if it has) and I really hope they do get an enhanced edition for these two as well

We definitely have to see an enhanced Bg2, I just want an ipad version.
BG2:EE won't be. Adding their minor UI tweaks and some NPCs really isn't any sort of a substantial offering outside ios and maybe multiplayer if it actually works properly by then. Without more, its really not that much more substantive than a patch would be for other games. So the same would be a waste of time.
Access to the games on tablets is amazing.
I think some people that voted no are losing sight of the long term goal, that some of us are happy to support Beamdog for, and that is their long term goal to make BG3.
- How will BG2EE attract new customers, fans of the series as well as modders?
- In which way will Overhaul ensure BG2EE competes successfully against BGT, BP and Big worlds mega mods which have matured over the last few years? In which way will BG2EE offer any distinct advantages over those mega mods? Even the guy like me who deleted almost all traces of BG1 and BGTutu-related stuffs can perfectly understand why some people prefer BGT over BGEE.
- How much change do they have to make so that players feel like BG2EE is truly enhanced version of the original BG2/TOB? Surely such challenge will be more difficult than converting BG1 to BGTutu-like BGEE.
Also if/when they do enhance BG2 and TOB I would like to see Imoen have more of an impact other than being a damsel in destress. Also once you find out what she is in the end I truly wondered why didn't it come up earlier in the games.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... DO NOT mulch in ANY 3.0 or 3.5 content!!!!!!! No Classes (prestige or otherwise), no content and no items. PLEASE.
Baldur's gate games (1, ToSC, 2, ToB) are all just fine in terms of rules sets. 3.0 (and 3.5) rules set is fine as well, but the two are not compatible/interchangeable. And trying to force that marriage is the surest way in the world to kill the franchise and alienate most, if not all of the fans of the original.
A few years ago, I downloaded a Mod that added 3.0 rules to Baldur's Gate 2. It was a total disaster and I quickly unloaded it. I for one will not purchase BG2:EE if it is some sort of hybrid of the original rules set and 3.0/3.5. Period.
Just as an example, Gauntlets of Ogre Power in 2nd edition takes your STR to 18/00. Gauntlets of Ogre power in 3rd Edition takes your STR +2. Which means that Viconia, to pick a character at random, gets almost zero benefit from them. The 3rd edition rules in this instance work only if the stats scale (+1 every 2 points) and are only really useful if the character can regularly augment their strength. In 2nd edition, having the 3rd edition functionality takes an extremely (and almost universally) useful item and makes it very weak and only situationally of value.
Also, most Prestige classes are only of use if you have the type of flexibility to change classes that 3rd edition provides. To add Prestige classes from 3rd edition would mean that you either retro-fit them or you change the entire class structure to make them fit.
I think it will be much more difficult to "enhance".
