I was under the assumption that this would be a continued, or at the very LEAST enhanced from the console versions. It took you guys almost a year for this? Quite frankly I'm confused. I know someone will try to have some uppity response, but that won't make the graphics any better, or direct me to the part where I can play the version that doesn't suck.

The console games, despite sharing the same name, have very little to do with the computer games. They were created by a different developer and have completely different gameplay, although I believe they were both published by Black Isle/Interplay. IIRC, the only reason they even share the name is because of D&D licensing issues; Interplay was only allowed to publish additional D&D games under the Baldur's Gate franchise (or something like that).
Edit: Another thing that sets the console games apart from the computer games is that the storylines for the console games are completely unrelated to the plot of the computer games.
Although I dare say that those of us who frequent this board love the series, you don't have to like it one bit - that's fine - but you'd do yourself a favor if you let go of the attitude considering your ignorance.
As for the other games, I remember being excited to try them when they first came out, and it was the biggest disappointment of my life. Pun intended.
I guess a more obvious reply to the OP would have been:
"You tell'em, Merl!"
(Poor Merl never survives long enough to understand what hit him in my play-throughs)
The contract limitations with the other partners in getting EE made stipulated that only a few very minor changes could be made to the original game's content. So it could not be overhauled that way. Time will tell if changes such as, for example, lots of new banters, expanded relationships, etc., with the existing 25 NPCs can be made via future DLCs. (That's just my speculation, btw. I'm not privy to the contract.)
The loss of the original 3D artwork was also a major disappointment to everyone. That meant the game could not be re-rendered in HD. But the graphics are however significantly improved to run at higher native resolution in wide screen. The game looks gorgeous to me at 1920x1080 on a 27" monitor.
The zoom feature, new UI, three four great new NPCs, the Black Pits, now 6 new kits added. The list of compatible mods is growing fast. I think most fans of the game feel it's well worth the price. ($20 is about what fast food for two costs these days.)
Also not only the list of compatible mods is growing, they are also getting improved, for example Dsotsc which was never even compatible with tutu..
Yeah, great point about the revitalization of existing mods.
(No, not this one. ;P)
Critical complaints are good for game design.
Ignorant complaints are good for a laugh!
Now I'm really looking forward to what Overhaul are planning for actual DLC as it will obviously be more than a few kits.
Even if the kits have issues, they're free. People would gladly pay them in other games.
Also the OP is a troll and he lost all credibility when he mentioned the console versions here.
At least some older trolls made an effort by saying "omg!!11 this remake suxxx".
