Well, i have to say i got a bit disappointed with BG EE, maybe in reason of nostalgia, or maybe the game isn't really that good, my opinion in reason of all the limitations input on it's production, that made the devs repeat the same mistakes of the original game. But it's Baldur's Gate, no matter how sad the potential loss of make it better was, as long it keep the old game face i will like it.
So the point... i wasn't willing to buy BG II EE in fact... but... it's Baldur's Gate so i can't help but make the purchase. I'm not going to make suggestions here or ask anything special, just one thing:
- Make a post, directory on forum or the official website or at least make some collective e-mails to keep us fans aware of the news on BG II EE as date of release, status of the actual project (X% complete for example) among other stuff related to BG II EE.
I feel that i will be able to enjoy better BG EE if i know i can carry that adventure on a longer path, and finish the saga.
Has a long time since i came here on the forum, that's partially in reason of the grown up of threads opposed to the broken configuration that doesn't point new posts in the threads i participate, among other reasons, so if any request like this one was already made, please disregard this thread and lock/delete it.

On another note, @kamuizin, it seems rather odd to go into detail about how disappointed you are in BG:EE, but please give me detailed updates every step of the way with BGII:EE. You catch more flies with honey is all I'm saying.
I'm well aware of the limitations on the project, as i discussed them for months before the release of the game, however i truly thought that some minor additions on the old content could be made (a single and short quest with one of the peasants on beregost for example)... well maybe i just missed them, but the only points of new content for me came with the new NPCs.
The new weapons introduction didn't impressed me also, but that's personal opinion only.
I raised an expectation of lots of new content with the passing time also, parallel adventures with new areas, kind of monsters and stuff like that.
Those are only some of the points, but hey, don't take me wrong about being an BG hater, as i said i love this game, and even if nostalgia mainly made me a bit disappointed, i'm still going to get my BG II EE copy.
It's Baldur's Gate after all.
Im still impressed with the patches since release, how quick they worked to fix bugs, as well as adding in one new NPC and 5 kits! However the devs have been very quiet for the last month or so.
Kinda dissapointed with the fact weve still had no news on the fabled "Adventure Y" which would probably add the new content that youre looking for kamuizin. Id have thought by now we would at least have some news on it.
I too expected some small additions of content, maybe some of the old wilderness areas have some small quests, but i dont think there are any.
Im actually waiting for BG2EE to be released before I play a proper run through as all the updates/changes they do to BG2EE will be ported back to BGEE.
that's why you got dissapointed, it's simply too old to keep up to todays standards
most people fell in love with the series when they began SoA and afterwards they played bg to learn what happened, so they were already sympathetic towards it
I'd say that the chances of the game being released during this year are 99%, simply because the engine is ready and it'd be financially poor decision to delay the release because some of unfinished content. Better to cut all unfinished stuff and ship the game if it really comes to that. You can ship the stuff as DLC if you feel like it. With BG:EE the case was different, because the game engine was too buggy to be released and you can't really cut that, so only option was to postpone the release.
Spoon...
Spoon will not come quick enough!
Always with the spoon...
It can't come spoon enough...
Spoon, spoon, spoon....
Spoon we will know the truth...
Spoon this will be all over...
Spoon.
Moving away from spooning puns. The fans need to be spoon fed some information.
However I would prefer that they sorted BG:EE first. Especially if they can spoon a chunk of Android magic our way...
I would be over the... spoon... *sigh* with that.
