Edit: Just to make things clear. I don't necessarily mean an expansion based on the main plot. Perhaps an enrichment consisting of new quests, locations, characters, items, recipes, enemies etc. All joined together by a new subplot. Just like Tales of the Sword Coast for BG. It would be nice to experience even more of this timeless classic.Jalily said:It's possible if SoD does well enough.

Throne of Bhaal is THE final chapter. It ends Charname's story.
Unless it was set before Throne of Bhaal, which I could see perhaps, I'd rather we got a PST EE or IWD2 EE.
I always found TOB very linear and tbh kinda boring. At that point of the game you were near max level if not at max level and without the story elements it got stale fast. Would be nice to have some fleshed out side areas and story quests added. Would also be nice to see how they can make an expansion that has balanced difficulty with the high level characters and abilities.
PS:T was a story about the Nameless Ones that was as complete (moreso IMO) that TOB, IWD&2 was a romp through the realms, both self contained.
The BG saga was the only game that had me create a character that I felt actually existed in the FR.
It nailed it.
It really nailed it.
Revamped versions of PS:T and IWD2 would be great, but if I could monitor the total amount of hours spent on IE games, the BG saga would be greater than all combined.
Because unless my character is game canon dead (which would be a greater mistake than what they did with R.A Salvatore's characters), you just can't get enough of BG.
Also Im not going to lie, it took me a while to come round to the idea of the "Enhanced Editions". I didnt see much point to be honest, until I started seeing for myself the level of effort involved and just how much improvement is being made and how much new life has been breathed into a game that already had a ridiculously active and dedicated modding community for well over a decade. For me it just seems natural to give BG2 an injection of new content before, as Phil said in the last stream, "leaving the infinity engine in great shape".
Also I was quite staggered by how they pursued the original BG1 voice actors for SoD and have added more to the characters and to the overall story, so to be quite honest leaving it just at SoD doesnt seem right to me.
So basically yes, yes, YES, more, more, MOAR!
A spin-off would be better. Something involving Thay might work.
They have more than proven their ability and love for the series so far , totally disproving the naysayers when BGEE was first mooted.
Beamdog have proven their competence when it comes to IE-style games, and I'd much rather see them put that skill to use on something new than simply riding the tails of an established great series. I think that would be better for them, for us, and for BG.
Ideally I'd just want them to explore a new area in the Forgotten realms. Surely there are several more intriguing areas.
Waterdeep maybe.. I just barely got to see that city in HotU.
Mask of the betrayer was a thrill.. I got to experience Thay and Rashemen!
I'm guessing there are many complications that prevent a new IP from becoming an easy thing though.
Of course, if a BG2 expansion was made, I'd probably buy it.
