    Certainly.
    Wait just a moment and I'll get my pincer pliers from the toolbox over there.

    I say the word count will be 422,424 but I expect the devs to add in a few words to make sure none of us are right :P

    As a side note I wonder how exactly they are doing their word count, is it based on white space or are short words (e.g. "is", "a", "or", etc...) skipped? Side side note, recently I was surprised to learn that every scientific journal (who tend to charge authors based on word count) "count words" in a different way, hence the origin of this question.

    According to our translation database,

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, English: 679,217 words

    Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, English: 1,248,473 words

    Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition DLC Content, English: 396,359 words

    Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition: 573,247 words

    Adventure Y will come in well above the BGII:EE DLC Content, and somewhere below IWD:EE.


    I wonder what the "Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition DLC Content" is about?

    I know BGEE, I know BG2EE, I know IWDEE and we all here know about the upcoming Adventure Y.

    But was is "Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition DLC Content, English: 396,359 words"?

    Some kind of a BG expansion? Nice.
    Looking forward for some info about new joinable NPCs (at least 1 new NPC is a MUST!).

    @Aedan, is that for real or a joke? Considering the humor and confusion on these boards, one never know. :smiley:

    @Astafas

    There are no official news yet. No hints about storyline, NPCs, etc. The only thing known for sure now is:

    1) It happens between BG and BG II

    2) You can export your final save from BG to Y and from Y to BG II.

    3) It has a higher word count than the DLC from BG II and smaller than the one from IWDEE.
