how much of a revamp is this?
![Tazok](https://forums.beamdog.com/uploads/userpics/479/nEX7ZLASCDPWV.jpg)
Sorry if this is a noob question, I didnt see it in asked in the FAQ or any of the other threads I looked through, Will the graphics be redone completely(3D), or just fixed so they can be played at higher resolutions?
Cant wait for this, it feels like this is the year to relive my childhood with diablo 3 and now this coming out haha.

The game will be using the BG2/ToB engine, so its likely that the Journal will also be using the BG2 format.
They will upscale things, but don't expect to notice any difference.
It just won't look pixelated while zooming, since if you make a 1920x1080 resolution and zoom in, the game will practically show you the models in a lower resolution ( aka bigger).
Unfortunetely we won't see new models
If yes, it would be great
The graphics will not be redone completely and this is definitely not a remake of Baldur's Gate, it is an enhanced edition that will run you all of $10, hardly enough to break the bank, and a great deal more than just higher resolution that is already available through the widescreen mod, so I (and I'm sure the dev team as well) would appreciate if people would stop spreading the misinformation that all the enhanced edition is is higher resolution support. As for why this is a ridiculous assertion, you may want to check out my response on the topic of things that the dev team can't do, which can be found here:

As you can see if you look a bit more closely, I was questioning the validity of the "just higher resolution" answer while showing that I had already read something on the topic..
"I saw it mentioned in another post that they won't be making new models because that would mean new models for everything and that would mean missing the September deadline. [...]So how is it? Will we just be able to zoom in and see pixelated images?" (my words)
As an example, I explained that expecting new models was unrealistic but I hoped that the game would still bring improvements because just having higher resolution, zooming in would look bad on the screen. Although my argument was partially invalidated by the following poster, it still didn't support the "BG:EE is just higher resolution" line of thought.
I'd appreciate it if, before you start ranting on a topic and talking about "spreading misinformation and ridiculous assertions", you'd kindly check who you are quoting. Just so, you know, you don't accidentaly "spread misinformation" and people don't get offended. ;P

Me: "Or in short, Higher Resolution ;-)"
This1 or This2?? This2
You won't notice differences on the art style and direction, since the models are the same, whatever tweaks they come up with. This doesn't mean you won't see enhanced graphics.
You can be sure they'll use some magic to spice things up a bit.
Hope this clears a bit things up.
Ill have to say, that for 25 years or so ago, everybody had LP´s- Then came CD (compact discs). well everybody had the same arguments as a lot in here have. Why why why... Should i or should i not..
Dont buy it if your not interrested... But ill give it a shot
