Confused about content

I've been kicking around in here for a couple of weeks, just where does BG:EE end and BG2 begin? I keep seeing references to BG2 mods but it appears to be in reference to BG1 in BG:EE.... sooooo am I right in the following assumption, BG:EE is BG1 using BG2 code and fixes and mods that can be applied to the BG1 story? and all the BG2 story will be in BG2:EE ??? :D or is this like Baldur's gate Trilogy BG! and BG2 Shadows of Ahm?

    BG:EE is Baldur's Gate 1 + Tales Of the sword coast + 3 new NPCS + The Black pits. using TOB engine with all the BG2/Tob classes and Kits.

    BG2:EE will include BG2:SOA + TOB, will be released in 2013

    Ahhh see it was the talk about all the BG2 mods/fixes that was confusing me, thanks for the clarification :)

    They made it impossible to finish BG:EE, before BG II:EE is out....

    What is your source for this release date?

    I'm pretty sure that TrentOster has already mentioned that on his twitter.

    Since I posted I did see other references to 2013 for BG2 it was just all the things I was seeing included with BG:EE were confusing me but MCH202 straightened me out.

    @Tanthalas
    Looked into it. The only thing I can find is this on Trent Oster's Twitter from July 27th:
    "#bg2ee is going to be much easier thanks to all the preceding work on #bgee. We're not going to talk timelines for a while."
    I suspect we could see BG2:EE before 2013 since all the hard work (the engine) is already done.

    Tanthalas is right, Trent Oster said it in one of his tweets, a reliable source I would say ;-)

    12 July Trent Oster ‏@TrentOster
    #bgee will launch in 2012, before summer ends! #BG2EE will ship in 2013. We're committed!

    Dangit. Should have kept reading. I hate twitter....

    I'll cross my fingers for January 1st. Hope the world doesn't end before then...

    There's also the very likely possibility of post-release DLC for BG:EE, so that could potentially extend the game length further while we're waiting for BG2:EE.

    Additionally, I imagine modding forums are going to go absolutely berserk in the months following the game's release - who knows what they'll conjure up? :)

    Well I wont be playing BG2:EE untill Aug 2013 so I dont care much about when in 2013... I just hope that some of the DLC that they are planning will be released in the following month of the initial release, though unlikley.
