Hi Friends,

There are three new music samples, a collection of new screenshots, and a piece of artwork for a mysterious thief known only as "Hexxat" over on the Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition website.

Okay bye!

    Because I'm weird I like the inventory shot best, were those steaks already in BG2? That red bag at least seems like something new, and that Panther weapon thingy too of course. Also Hexxat's concept art looks interesting.

    If you do another screenshot release, it would be really interesting to see the world map. Preferably with most places already discovered of course. ;)

    The steak icon was used for the dog meat in the De'Arnise Keep quest, I believe, but you couldn't get ten of those, so it looks like it's being reused for something else.

    I'm curious about this "Claw of the Black Leopard," whether it's another magical wand (albeit one usable by a Thief given the inventory shot) or perhaps a new weapon (maybe a Club/Mace?) or both.

    imageHexxat: I gotta say, I'm looking really spunky in that concept art. I love my glowing eyes.

    Love the new Hexxat portrait (and those eyes!). It looks like those of us who've been pining for an evil thief may be getting our wish. ^ ^

    Seconded! ^_^

    I noticed on the new music sample for Rasaad it's tagged on soundcloud as "baby" while all the other samples including the new Hexxat ones are tagged as "Baldur's gate"...

    I wonder why? :$

    All I have to say is: All Hail Barry, our glorious demi-god of Murder! He's way cooler than Abdel ever was!

    I don't suppose the new companions could have their portraits redone bg2 style ~ they seem out of place.

    Yeah. I guess we'll have to mod them to become more BG2-like. Too bad :(

    Love the new interface art, it looks really great!

    "Barry : What?" -> Barry White?
    Can't be a coincidence…

    Looking at that Hexxat art. Definitely confirmed Shadowdancer.
  • MadhaxMadhax Member Posts: 1,416
    Hexxat music is somewhat reminiscent of Planescape: Torment music. Makes me think of Annah a bit, and I've always thought that Hexxat would wind up being a Tiefling.
  • scriverscriver Member Posts: 2,072
    The music sounds generally exotic-orientalish to me... If I were to predict based on that, I'd call Yuan-Ti Pureblood, or possibly a Genasi from Calimshan. Her eyes has vaguely Egyptian/Cleopatra-esque make-up, too, although that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

    @bengoshi

    As far as I'm aware, everyone has dialogue when they make critical misses. It's part of the expanded voiceset included in BG2.

    Frankly, I'd be disappointed if the new NPC's DIDN'T say anything.
