I dont know about the exact word count. However ToB had about 11000 new texts (dialogs, spells, items, ...) while BGEE should be around 6000 or 7000 texts (compared to BG, that might include BG2 stuff such as kits and gameplay stuff, which are not new to BGEE per se).
Made by John Gallagher which is a conceptual artist who worked on the Original Baldur's Gate and also worked with Overhaul at the beginning of the project.. he made more concept art such as Cloud Peak mountains and northern tradeway but those can't be found anymore ( he deleted them from his DevianArt page )

we're finishing up the next patch for Enhanced Edition. 200 fixes so far
At least, no such big and nasty ones as the number of APRs for the ranged weapons)
Nonetheless, it's great to hear we'll have a .2013 version!
!!!
Do you know what is meant by "new kits"?
Thanks, man! Looking forward to the new patch! :-)

That does sound massive. Anyone knows how many new words are in BG:EE?
#bg2ee #bgee hey remember that "Adventure Y" @SamHulick hinted at awhile ago? WELL HAVE I GOT ABSOLUTELY NO NEWS FOR YOU
#bg2ee #bgee okay that was mean, here's a hint: Find a bridge to the north of Baldur's Gate that would hold significance to the Bhaalspawn.
I'm almost certain this is a reference to Boareskyr Bridge - a place of great significance indeed, since
EDIT: There. Now we can resume our usual Drow-Thayan banter.
What was that? My chest...
Ok, what was I saying? Ah yes, Baldur's Gate: Dark Al- *AAGH!!*
This pain..! It's... It's slowly going away.
I'll try to say it fast then. *uff...*
BALDUR'S GATE: DARK ALLIANCE II!
*AAAAAAAAARRRGHHHH!!!!*
