WoW. Updated and it looks like a whole new game. And I leveled up my sorcerer and I noticed an Unlearn button. So can Sorc now swap out spells on level up??!!
No, it's a toggle-button that switches between "Learn" and "Unlearn" for the new spells you choose during level up. It's an alternative to choosing spells in the left list with the bullets.
Oh boy...These UI changes are going to take some time getting used toT_T
I would be lying if I said my immediate reaction was positive, but I'm sure it will grow on me. I just need some time
Barbarian as a fighter kit now?...Well I suppose it was always like that, but now with both Berserker and Barbarian as kits. Well it does look a little strange^^
The new patch is amazing. As a late comer to the Baldur's Gate series (I knew of it, never had a chance to play it until Steam), I appreciate the updated mechanics and graphics. The into is really slick now too. Love that Beamdog keeps supporting this and other, older, products so that new players can still enjoy the games!
Yeah im having some trouble with the UI. Hope they fix it. What I have noticed so far it my custom portraits dont appear on the right side of the screen. Only shows up in character sheet page. and my difficulty slider on my saved game wont work. keeping me stuck on the easiest setting for some reason.
I have bought BG EE in store about year ago. It is a DRM free, physical copy. 1.3 with all DLC. No luncher version. Will be there any way to update it? Single patch.exe file like in good old days? Or am i forced to buying steam version ?
@znancekivell Describe your problem with the portraits; perhaps we can help you
Sure! It's pretty simple - since the updated patch they don't work. Every time I click in-game while building a new character and select Custom Portrait I get the standard message about placing photos in the Portrait directory in order to use said customs. They worked fine before the patch, so I'm guessing this is a small bug from the patch, or perhaps new conditions have been installed in order to use custom portraits?
If you scroll through the standard portraits, you'll find your custom portraits at the end of the list. Click the left arrow to jump directly to the custom portraits (the end of the list).
Most of my custom portraits don't appear. Some do, but with most of them I just get a black window as I toggle through them. I can't figure out why since they're all .bmp files that fit the size restrictions and are named with 8 or fewer characters.
I just loaded up bg2ee after the new patch and I feel like the sprites are now uglier than before? Is there some way to turn off that weird black outlining around them?
I seem to have misplaced the lighthouse/sirens/Safana portion of the map. It's just not there, this is making me a sad, I wanted to recruit Safana and kill some flesh golems!

It moved. I blame the Spellplague. Or the Sundering. Or some other silly thing. Just keep trying, you'll find it.
"WOW" accurately describes my early reviews as well. I didn't think they could improve the graphics anymore after that last patch but these changes demand even more glowing appreciation! Anytime my favorite game of all-time gets a face lift, it's a big deal to me (yes my quest for a real life is still futile, shut up). Let me break down my early praise:
Graphics. I play the game on a 58" plasma and the zoomed in detail is exquisite. The title of "Enhanced" should now be considered legitimate by even the harshest of critics.
Two-weapon style. One click, a sword in each hand...one click, bow...one click, a sword in each hand...one click, bow...clear my calendar, this is like using a light switch after 20 years of lantern lighting. Now, where was I? Oh yeah...one click, a sword in each hand...one click, bow...
Journal. As a hardcore competition-ist my sanity has been challenged on more than one occasion. While I can not attest to the Prism quest being completed and staying that way despite new information, I am hopeful. Why do i still an unfinished quest to find what I flooded weeks ago?! New appearance same drunken journal entries. I need an ERASE option. Looks good though!
That's it so far...well done gentlemen! I look forward to buying SoD after a fresh BG:EE playthrough. (Patience corrects the bugs)
Overall, I am a huge fan of this patch, but like others, I am having troubles with my custom portraits, some of which show only a black rectangle instead of the picture. I also miss the old scrolling interface for them, as I now have to click through each of hundreds of portraits to get to the one I want Any chance this can be rectified?

Unfortunately, right now there are no plans to update the DVD version of both games, but I hope they will get the new patches eventually.
