If you start a new game at the SoD content, what items (if any) do you start with? Will you be able to find a lot of the items that were in BG1 in SoD?
Okay, first of all... I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE ALMOST THERE!!! I assume the game will be available on Steam tomorrow at midnight?
I am halfway through my gazillionth playthrough of BGEE and assume I won't have to start a new campaign?
When should I dual class? I am playing a Priest of Talos and was originally wanting to dual at 7 so I could get to mage level 8, but if the expansion is level capped at 12 (which is what I read), I can go up to level 11 (for level 6 divine spells) and then dual, becoming PoT11>Mage 12 by the end of the game???

There is no level cap, only an experience cap. You can gather up to 500k experience. You have to do the math yourself to find out how far that gets you with your desired class combination.
Hmm...I read where someone said the cap was 12 - which I admit sounded weird because that would mean different things for different classes. Okay, so 500k makes much more sense. Looks like I can do level 9 for level 5 spells and hit mage level 10 before the end (so basically all my HD level ups are as a Cleric). Still much better than just a plain mage.
Any word on translation in other languages (localisations)? I am planning to learn a new foreign language and previously playing games helped me a lot with English. Combing the useful and the pleasant is something I am really looking for.

1. The game will be available at 19.00 GMT on 31 st March
@Huskarl2006
Right now, we just know that the expasion will be released just in English. Let us wait and see if they have some plans for localizations.

I recall a developer saying that they would release the game in all the localizations bg ee was made, eventually. But that quote me on that, because i am not sure
According to elminster, SoD is an expansion to BGEE but presently its not available to the public. If you want to install BGEE for the next few days you'll need to click "Install" on this page (do not click "Expansion Product")
I still want to know how SoD is going to be handled for those of us that use the stand-alone installers/launchers for the EE games.
You can download the platform and then delete it. That is what I did with BG 1 and 2. Both bought from Beamdog. I dont like having programs I seldom use in my PC.
Ah, thanks @bengoshi. I didn't see that thread, because I'd only looked in the SoD, Road to 2.0 and General Discussion areas, for some stupid reason checking the actual Baldurs Gate section never even occurred to me

The Beamdog client will have to be used to install SoD from Beamdog on launch day.
So what happens after I install SoD via the Beamdog client? Will the stand-alone launcher for BG1EE be outmoded? Will I have to move all the files that the Beamdog client downloaded to their proper place on my SSD?
Because I've got it set up so that I use the stand-alone launchers for normal gameplay and the versions launched via the Beamdog client for beta testing. (Yes I know I dont have to use the beamdog client to launch the betas, or the normal versions, but I like having the stand-alone launchers' splash screen appear before I play. And since SoD will be released, patches are going to be released more routinely and I prefer using the stand-alone launchers because they also tell me the patch notes)

On Beamdog, Siege of Dragonspear will appear as its own product which includes BG:EE and SoD. Siege will have its own launcher. You can uninstall BG:EE.
On Steam, Siege of Dragonspear will be listed as DLC for BG:EE, and you'll need your BG:EE installation to install Siege.

And what about GOG
Sorry, questions about GOG are already starting to live on their own, like gazebos. .

This is the time given in the last live stream. Noon local time for Beamdog.

Thank you.

2. You dont have to start a new campaign
3. If I were you I would try to get to 9th level.

I would add that PT - Pacific Time and "noon local time for Beamdog" are different, because Edmonton is in MST - Mountain Standard Time, not PT.
For example, in less than 5 minutes it will be Wednesday 30th March, 09 AM GMT, and 02 AM MST, and 01 AM PT.
So, could @Dee confirm that "Noon local time" means 12 PM MST, not 12 PM PT? 12 PM MST will be 19 GMT.
Does this mean that the SoD install will download all the BG1 data again?
(sorry if this has already been posted about btw, but I didn't see anything)

When SoD will be available, you'll be able to click Expansion Product and then it will be downloaded, without downloading BGEE.

If I'm not mistaken, Beamdog client is not available for MacOS X. How will mac users install SoD?
25 hours till 12 PM MST and 24 hours till 12 PM PT.
It's the other way round, isn't it? And which one is the important one?
will this stream be on youtube like the others? i may not be able to attend due to my internet hating twitch streams.

If?
Using the stand-alone launcher. I was wrong, I got my wires crossed, my fault, blame me.
