    Just ipad no android?
    I mean I don't have a tablet but if I ever get one it will be something with Android, or who knows windows 8.
    Agreed looks like those who want portability gonna have to purchase iPad only to play BGEE.
    Perhaps @TrentOster should discuss with Apple some discount options for us bhaalspawns: BGEE + iPad for $299

    Same here. Problem is they seem to fear piracy on Android. And they don't want adds in the game. I think not making a Android version is a big shame and a missed chance.

    The Win 8 tablets may or may not work. Depends completely on the Open GL support.

    Just be sure to get a X86 tablet, and not Windows 8 RT on ARM hardware, else for sure you won't be able to run BGEE.

    Well, I don't think there is a guarantee there wont be a bgee on android, just not yet. It's up for debate, best I can figure.

    When RT tablets become available to us we'll look at distribution on Win 8 RT

    Hello! I have Ipad2 and not Ipad3 (or New Ipad). Do you think BG will work?

    Do we know when during the summer the game will be released? I'm hope early in the summer as when school starts there won't be much time to play.

    I'm sure I read that it's intended to work well n all three generations of iPad so you should be good.

    @Asharwood The only official word is "by the end of the summer," so sometime around the end of September would be the best guess.

    And what about the "ipad mini" we have all heard about ? :p
  • RisingsunRisingsun Member Posts: 99
    @lordcarstein
    we should probably wait for the iPad mini to become an actual product before worrying about it being supported.
  • lordcarsteinlordcarstein Member Posts: 8
    @risingsun Of course we will ;) and I will not buy it

    I was just subtle irony, I prefer Android, since it is not device-exclusive. But many other users already gave the cons of a port on this OS

    I bought the new iPad specifically because I saw that this was coming. I can't wait! I played all of the series and all the spin offs. Wish I knew when to expect the game. I check ign and gamespot everyday to see if any new info has hit

    Does anyone have a date for this?

    I bought 64GB instead of 32GB because of BG.. I thought.... "5 CDs + Expansion, damn, I will run out of space soon..." but I didn't think about the improvements of compression technics :-P, so I've a lot of free space right now ready to be filled by BGEE and BG2EE!!!! :)
  • Space_hamsterSpace_hamster Member Posts: 950
    BG shouldn't take up more than 3 gigs....but who knows!
  • lordcarsteinlordcarstein Member Posts: 8
    I vote for 4Gb+ with tons of new content :)

    Oh. :)
    Since Windows 8 RT have no support for OpenGL, I did not expect BGEE on it.

    I really hope this comes out on Android, I'd totally buy it.

    Nice, I can finally get some use out of that thing
  • wesdansiewesdansie Member Posts: 2
    i can finally justify buying an iPad now! one does wonder will character/save games be transferable from iPad to PC or vice versa? hmmm...
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    @wesdansie

    Characters/Save games are supposed to be transferable between PC/Mac/iOS

    I honestly don't know how mods function to know if they'll work on all platforms. That seems like something that's more up to the person creating the mod.

    How is multiplayer supposed to work? Is it cross platform? Or is it going to be available at all for iPad?

    Also, will there be access to creating custom quests and environments (nwn style) or only small mods?
