Any chance of any of the new NPCs from Siege of Dragonspear being added to BG2 at some point (officially)?

But I'm sure there will be mods, just as there are mods to bring some of the BG1 NPCs to BG2.
Mods will, though. For sure.
(Even if they don't end up officially in BG2EE, I look forward to seeing what modders do with them.)
For real though, I would love to see all of them. But especially M'Khiin and Corwin. And especially M'Khiin!
Caelar Argent would be great too. Since she would be a former antagonist she'd be similar to Sarevok but they're different enough that I think it would still work.
I would love for some new BG2 content at some point. I know that an expansion like SoD would be difficult to do because of plot issues but DLC in the form of "Tales of the Sword Coast" would be perfect. New quests that don't interfere with the main plot, new characters, new dialogue from classic characters...it would work, right?
Second character that could make the game better IMO is Voghiln. His banters are priceless! Especially the one with Neera, I was literally rolling on the floor then!
NPCs make the game so much better, their interaction with the protagonist and each other adds some magic to the game. I'd be extremely happy to see those 2 being brought to BG2EE with their own dialogues and voices!
@AndrewFoley, tell all your coworkers that, on the topic of SoD companions coming to BG2EE, I say:
Perhaps she could chunk Sarevok to earn her place in the team?
Kudos on M'Kiin, btw. Didnt fit my party balance, but I ran with the shaman anyway for a while to check out the content. Good character.
If this is something that can actually happen, and isn't just a boilerplate response, then drumming up actual support needs a little more detail and a lot more organization. No point in creating false expectations otherwise.
Shawne is right - how can we effectively show that we would like to see Glint, Corwin, Voghlin and M'Khiin in BG2?
I mean, I praise Glint everytime I have the chance, but I think that a form, a survey or a petition would be better?
Maybe set up a pledge page, a la GoFundMe or some other crowdsourcing sites to gauge interest?
1) Tweet about them, what you like about them, and how much you'd like to see more of them. Hashtag #Dragonspear, probably more effective to direct tweets to Wizards of the Coast than Beamdog, but both would be best.
2) Seek out Beamdog and WotC folk at conventions/shows and tell them face to face that you'd like to see them return.
3) Cosplay the characters, let people know who they are and where they come from, and especially make sure people from WotC and/or Beamdog get to see them, ideally in person but at least in pics. That's a big ask, I know, but I also know a few different people showing up to a con as Glint or M'Khiin would probably make a bigger impact than anything else.
I wouldn't set up a pledge page--the intent would be appreciated, but I have a hard time seeing crowdfunding being used to support an official D&D product.
Seriously, we must start OUR SIEGE to get the Fantastic Four in BG2EE!
1) Twitter is an absolute waste of time. I don't see why I would ever want to participate.
2) I have no interest in conventions/shows. Too many other things to do.
3) Ditto for cosplay.
Obviously, I have nothing against other people indulging in any of the above, but to me, all of them seem like a complete waste of time. So, there is a bit of a conundrum here. But if there's ever a chance to vote for extra BG2 content with my wallet, I'm in.
