Let's play a game shall we. What do you think the next patch will contain?
Here's how it works, we all take a guess on the topics for the next patch (currently waiting on 2015). The winner doesn't get anything (save for being lucky as heck and bragging rights). Make your guesses specific, don't just say "bugs" cause it's obvious that'll happen. Anyways, here's the topics...
1. What do you think the next patch will add content wise?
2. What do you think the next patch will remove (not bugs)?
3. What single bug do you think will be removed?
4. What do you think will be bugged next once the new patch is released?
5. If there's any new kits, what do you think one will be?
6. If there's a new race/sub-race, what do you think it'll be?
7. What day do you think the patch will release (say Oct. 11th for example)?
Good luck and have fun.

2. remove the Gem Bag from Neera and add it to High Hedge
3. dwarf stats
4. there will be 3 "appears busy" Neeras in FAI
5. elven-only kit; Bladesinger or something similar to Arcane Archer prestige class
6. I don't think there will be new races - maybe ability to display subrace (i.e. Wild Elf instead of Elf, but it's technically still a regular elf)
7. August 22nd
1. Tough one. I'm just going to wildly guess that they add the fish club.
2. I figure they will remove shadowdancer's ability to spam HIPS by adding a cooldown of some sort.
3. Hopefully one that I helped fix.
4. The Candlekeep warehouse rats will transform into rust monsters and each time you hit them they will break a weapon!
5. Maybe some barbarian kit, possibly based on Uthgardt tribes?
6. I doubt it.
7. Soon...
Honestly, aside from #3 I don't know what they are up to.
New series of forest zones. The Everfree Forest.
2. What do you think the next patch will remove (not bugs)?
No longer allowed to import equipment.
3. What single bug do you think will be removed?
Tethoril's Scroll
4. What do you think will be bugged next once the new patch is released?
Stat roll totaler starts reporting in base 3.
5. If there's any new kits, what do you think one will be?
Halfling Slinger
6. If there's a new race/sub-race, what do you think it'll be?
Magical Pony (Earth, Pegasus, Unicorn, and Alicorn which is totally OP.)
7. What day do you think the patch will release (say Oct. 11th for example)?
Friday the 13th. 2020.
2-nothing should be removed from the game, unless a bug
3-Shadowdancer bugs
4-A new, random dialogue or quest will be bugged
5-A new bard kit would be cool, since they added thief one
6-Drow or half-drow would be fantastic, if it can make sense ingame
7-May 11th, as a birthday present for me. Yay!
My answers, that are very pessimistic (and quite ironic) :
1. Content wise there are enough things inside.
2. Things that functions properly.
3. It will add bugs when removing other ones, since no proper beta testing is performed.
4. Some random things linked to the things that were fixed after being broken once.
5. No need for new kits, only the fixing of what currently is.
6. No need for new sub-races, only the fixing of what currently is.
7. I do hope not too late, though taking time to release it should prevent new bugs to spawn (with a good beta testing and no live testing with the players).
On a more seriously note : BG2 is very enjoyable the way it is (I have played it on 1280*960). You'll have to astound me if you want me to buy it. There are a LOT of scripts in this game, and it should not be taken lightly when dealing with them.
BG2 takes way more time to complete than BG1, a game breaking bug would be much more annoying since you'll have to spend much more time to progress to the same point.
BG1 was a good thing to buy in an "EE" edition because you had to install tons of mods in order to play it the best way. Also, you were not messing with the original content (unlike TuTu or BGT that had changed many things because they fancy that, like this without reasons), and adding new contents.
Gorion sends you to FAI alone because he was still seriously wounded and he wanted to bring you to the Harpers (Khalid/Jaheira) anyway.
By the time you reach Nashkel, Sarevok is already free.
By the time you reach Candlekeep again, Gorion is dead due to doppleganger who ate him while he was laying in his bed.
All this is probably 1 new cutscene and 3 new dialogs/changes. Except that you won't get to see Gorion's corpse at the ground circles, but later in the basement where the dopplers dump the bodies.
/uninstall
---> Neera, Dorn and Rasaad will now express content (pun!) or disapproval based on your reputation.
2. What do you think the next patch will remove?
---> The Ankeg plate mail Easter egg.
3. What single bug do you think will be removed?
---> Tethoril's scroll, but I guess that's an obvious.
4. What do you think will be bugged next once the new patch is released?
---> All recruitable NPCs will have duplicates of themselves around them of all possible levels.
5. If there's any new kits, what do you think one will be?
---> Uthgardt Shaman, but it's quite far-fetched.
6. If there's a new race/sub-race, what do you think it'll be?
---> A half-breed of some sort.
7. What day do you think the patch will release?
---> Not soon enough.
I think the next patch will add a new area called the Friend Zone.
2. What do you think the next patch will remove (not bugs)?
The next patch will remove the gem bag from Neera and put it in high hedge
3. What single bug do you think will be removed?
Hmmm there are too many to choose from....
4. What do you think will be bugged next once the new patch is released?
the GUi
5. If there's any new kits, what do you think one will be?
Arcane Scholar of Candlekeep
6. If there's a new race/sub-race, what do you think it'll be?
The Drow rule supreme
7. What day do you think the patch will release (say Oct. 11th for example)?
January 13, 2014
Halfling Only kit Truesword
1. What do you think the next patch will add content wise?
-Tomb of Horrors.
-No, really, I don't think anything content-wise. If there were modules, that'd probably be pay stuff. "Well, now that you've outdone the guy you spent the main story trying to stop in terms of destruction, here's a module! Pay up, hon, we aren't a charity like that adorable noble in the Copper Coronet."
2. What do you hope think the next patch will remove (not bugs)?
-Coran. *snap snap snap*
-Hopefully the need to break alignment in order to get elven chainmail. I don't like Dorn because he's mean and picks on Neera, why would I want him in my party.
3. What single bug do you think will be removed?
-The one what makes Firebead Elvenhair's quest in Candlekeep unaccompletable.
4. What do you think will be bugged next once the new patch is released?
-Safana will still not be romanceable.
5. If there's any new kits, what do you think one will be?
-Arcane Archer?
-Oh uhm uh well um gosh I don't know well umm uhh maybemaybe some neato Druid or Ranger or Cleric or Bard kits? Like those two Ranger kits that BG II dummied out?
6. If there's a new race/sub-race, what do you think it'll be?
-Probably sub-races.
7. What day do you think the patch will release (say Oct. 11th for example)?
-June! June Somethingth.
A land-sea pony? Since you can't actually go into the water...
Some minor quests and a new magical item for us to discover!
2. What do you think the next patch will remove (not bugs)?
I hope it will move the gem bag from Neera!
3. What single bug do you think will be removed?
The sound bug in Baldurs Gate... Thank god for ctr+T
4. What do you think will be bugged next once the new patch is released?
Noober will explode into a fireball with cloudkill followup if you kill him
5. If there's any new kits, what do you think one will be?
Still some oldschool classes left that I would love to see atleast. Horizon walker, Loremaster, arcane archer, arcane trickster Duelist (Would LOVE that one
6. If there's a new race/sub-race, what do you think it'll be?
Some sub-races I guess. I would love to see something out of 4th edition, tho it probably wont happen ;/
Dragonborn, Goliath, Eladrin etc....
7. What day do you think the patch will release (say Oct. 11th for example)?
Bring it on by the end of May I say!
We tried that in WW2. Didn't work out too well. We accidentally burned down one of our own towns. XD
Hello, it seems we have a NEW bug here :
http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/18402/number-figures-on-keyboard-dont-work-anymore#latest
Induced by the lastest "italian" dialogues patch ? ;-)
PS : it might not cause trouble for every player, but for people who doesn't use a QWERTY keyboard, it sure causes a problem.
Anyways, bump! This is a fun thread to read.
Bhaal is gone from the pantheon and is no longer part of the story

The spellplague has turned every single npc into a tiefling or a drow ranger.
Psionic powers introduced to most classes.
Removal of HP - taking damage makes the edges of screen turn increasingly bloody.
Health regenerates quickly if you leave combat.
Acheivements added.
