http://www.baldursgate.com/images/media/screenshots_nov22/Screen15.png Seems they added Bandits to the Gorion encounter. Pretty cool! Battle will probably be yet more epic. I also like that connection made early on. It kind of links the Iron Throne with the Bandits and yada yada ... just a nice little hint drop. Cool.
Looks like they decided to stick with just the simple gold showing swords over characters portraits if in melee combat as well as whatever spell they are casting being shown in that same manner (melf acid arrow and armor shown on screen05.
Edit: That of course or these have also all been edited over. Making what I'm saying mostly worthless from a final product point of view.
I see both gold sword icons and real weapon icons.
Maybe when they attack it's their icon, and when they are being attacked it's the other icon?
One thing I'm wondering, see the character stats page and inventory screen, there doesn't seem to be room to show the effects from two weapons, if dual-wielding, or am I missing something

Looks like it already is epic. Unless i'm mistaken, I do not recall Gorion originally using Mirror Image in that fight.
Beamdog needs to change Quartz's name? He may object.
The good thing about @mch202's portrait is that it's not the portrait of somebody with a name. The bad thing is whenever I make a character with that portrait I go "OMFG, WHY IS MCH IN MY PARTY?".
I also have issues with using... whatever that guy's name is who looks like @Tanthalas in my party. See I don't even remember his name.
I suggest renaming Dorn to Quartz in order to reclaim the clarity of who is who. It turns out Dorn doesn't stick as well.
Haha, you guys will pick up "Dorn" just fine once you start playing the game, I'm sure. Notice @Jalily had no issues identifying Dorn as Dorn and she's a beta tester. Coincidence? I think not.

Disarming a trap gives you 25 Experience!
Arrow stacks seem to be 40 a la BGII, as we can see Imoen with 25 arrows. Not firm proof, but it's likely.

Fighting Thayvian wizards. Probably part of Neera's area, then. I wonder what happens with Edwin in the party?

Looks like they beefed up the spell effect. Looks sexy!
Also a ton of level ups going on. Pretty easy to assume that you will level up quickly in The Black Pits ... makes sense for that game mode.

Dunno.
Stacks are actually higher than 40.
@Mornmagor
Gold swords is just an older build.
EDIT: I also haven't been able to load the manuals yet, so I don't know if they were updated. Someone get some ice cubes on those servers!
Lower than that.
nice pic
Yeah, that field only shows the damage of your main-hand weapon.

I didn't remember. I just call him Tanthalas.
