Exactly why developers need to limit what they read in forums...it's catch 22 they need to get valid input but to get it they need to wade through a sewer of ignorance, rudeness and just plain bad manners.
@inmagikman Actually, even with the initial outcry over the announcement, these forums are still the most well-behaved I've ever seen. The whole thing blew over in under a week... that's... wow, impressive.
**Read some feedback on the interview Q I did about Ray and Greg. Looks like the message is getting misread.
**Intent was to show how hard the gaming business is and how the culture at EA is difficult to survive, even to someone as committed as Ray
**Ray was exceptionally supportive of EA and always tried to keep the interests of both Bioware and EA in mind when he made decisions
**On another note, I may have just had my mind blown out of my head by an image. Scott did a dump of the conversation data linkage in BG:EE
**Here's my mind blowing data for the day: http://www.baldursgate.com/omg.dot.pdf A breakdown of the conversation chunks in #bgee. Linkage data isn't all there
**We're going to have to keep BG2 content and Throne of Bhaal separated as they currently are.
If i read this right it sounds like the 2 have to be separate so BG2 EE and TOB EE?
They have already said that BG2:EE will Include TOB, So I dont think its the case.
What I think he means is that once you are playing TOB you cant go back to Soa/You can play TOB without finishing SOA, as it is now.. there were some requests to allow you to go back to Amn while playing TOB..

** Just wrapped up a piece for Baldur's Gate #AdventureY. Last ten seconds of it hints at one of my favorite BG tunes, "Candlekeep."

-#BG2EE will have Throne of Bhaal included, but you will not be able to go back from Throne of Bhall content as it was originally.
-@IntendedIntent There is not change the BG2 -- Throne of Bhaal relationship will be exactly as it was.
-#BG2EE is one purchase and includes Throne of Bhaal.
Not much decoding here but a lot of cross platform multiplayer
When we are quiet, we are working very hard. When talking, we're getting worried we've been quiet for too long. We need some balance

* We cut the Beregost movie, the Gnoll fortress and a few more
* We removed a few videos as they did not meet the quality bar and we decided to put more time into the game itself instead of redoing them
