    Also, here's an interesting tidbit: Adventure Y has two world maps.

    I'm looking forward to this :smiley:

    Ahh, the mystical land of naked nymphs will finally be explored.

    I'm afraid not, because my colleagues give me weird looks and say funny things each time I bring up the subject of removing the wizard robe from Neera's starting equipment.

    We do have several pixies on the team though.
    Darn! Sorry, bugbears. You'll have to fulfill my desires some other time.

    :O! Can we have pictures of the pixies? I bet they're super ultra adorable! n_n
    I bet they'd be too *pixellated* to make anything out ;)
    Glad to know I wasn't the only one reading pixel instead of pixie :)

    Are any of these pixies of the 'Manic Dream Girl' type? I hear lots about this spicey one.

    Also, is Beamdog continuing to exclude Nixies? Nixie oppression is a terrible problem, and electing one Nixie to the Presidency does not mean descrimination is done! We need affirmative action to help protect Nixie interests!

    Just looked up "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" and I didn't know that was a trope.


    And now I realize my Piro character falls into this trope, sort of. She's a happy-go-lucky gnome fey sorceress who's primary goal in life is to make everyone around her happy.

    She does this because she feels incredibly lonely inside and is so extremely outgoing because she's terrified to be alone. Her backstory explains why this is, but that's for another time for when I eventually finish the story I'm writing.

    there is a lot of free-form optional exploration throughout the game

    So I take it we have a confirmation it will be a standalone game.

    Before, we only knew that they were still talking whether or not it was a separate game.

    I assumed it was a separate game since we got that picture of the new UI.

    I assumed the same but in their AMA they were quite evasive in answering the straing question. Anyway, the media also called it "a new Baldur's Gate game".

    another easy question:

    will you be able to obtain a new cool item that you will be able to retrieve from the captive djinni at the start of bg2?

    I have it on good authority that @Cuv looks great as a pixie!
    I thought @Cuv looked great in a gazebo?

    HEY LISTEN! Nobody said pixies are banned from gazebos.

    Can we expect that Adventure Y has HD version ?
    Base on current information , It's standalone version with new UI , it means they don't have to follow BG-EE lower pixel setting , is it ?
  • KilivitzKilivitz Member Posts: 1,459
    I don't think they're making new assets as much as using the ones they already have.

    I think they will stick with the BGEE/BG2EE look since it would be a bit jarring to have the "middle game" of a series be a different style than the rest.

    BG:EE can already run at (full) HD if you disable UI scaling.

    Underdark/Ground Map Confirmed.
    @bengoshi 's rethought version of my older meme: bottom.

    Or is the Underdark Map reeeaally all that confirmed?
  • VallmyrVallmyr Member, Mobile Tester Posts: 2,459
    I FREAKING LOVE DROW. I'm sure Val'myr would LOVE to go visit his kin in the underdark! After all, he's been raised in Candlekeep and knows nothing about his heritage.

    /imagines him hiding behind Alora constantly when he's scared of all the cruel things Drow do.

    I don't think we still have the Underdark confirmed though, but the @WithinAmnesia 's idea about two world maps: one for the general world and one which would consist of underground areas - has a very high percentage to be true.
