#bringBackCaelar. This comment is written for Beamdog team. I know the community manager is looking through all these stuff. Hope he'll make it clear for the developers team. It is sad to admit that a paticular part of the Community expressed radical reaction concerning Siege of Dragonspear. I suppose such a response concerning Beamdog's hard work was not adequate and fair. I know about the experience you had with the SoD, but you do have the unfinished business there.The new content you had shown us at SoD is really good. People really want the continuation of the story, especially when it comes to new SoD characters as a part of BG2. Being a long-term fan of BG myself, I beg you not to stop your work on this direction. Thank you for attention.
Caelar was one aspect where I can see Beamdog not continuing. Being stuck in Hell is VERY LIKELY to kill anyone. I think mods are more appropriate for that, as Caelar's story arc in SoD is pretty definitively finished.
The huge ammount of work you did at SoD is amazing. You shouldn't stop, there are still many good projects to be done, and new content from Siege of Dragonspear in BG II is one of such things.

Now stuff like the Soultaker on the other hand...
Caelar may return as a game character. During Beamdog's stream Phill mentioned he wanted the continuation of her story as well. That means they may have plans on it. BG as well as other games in FR setting has lots of examples of characters coming back, though their fate was undecided. Let's take Drizzt in BG1 as an example. We may kill him or not, anyway we will meet him further. Or Aribeth. We may choose her destiny in the orginal campaign, to kill her or to let her live. And while playing the HotU expansion we meet her spirit. I see no reasons, preventing her to appear as a character at BG2. Realm of BG makes everything possible.
#bringBackCaelar I love content from Siege of Dragonspear and special new characters, Corwin and Caelar, I think we must see all characters from SoD in BG II and finished their story.Thanks Beamdog for this amazing expansion!!!
@Ratibor92 I'm not saying it isn't possible. But her story as we knew it in SoD, concluded. Her current end has closure to it. I'd rather Beamdog fix actually glaring plot issues that they created, like the Soultaker plot, first. That had no closure, and it was already mentioned on stream that they originally intended to close it in BG2. They went so far as to have a general plot framework for it.

Which depending on how much effort they put into it, won't really be that much work either. Not saying I want a half-assed job of it all, but yeah I definitely want this closed up as well.
Caelar is a better idea and more compelling character for me IMO, but her story can be considered closed I guess.
I'm more curious as to why Irenicus had the soultaker dagger how he attained it.. Skie is more of a means to an end, her fate isn't all that important. She's alright character...
Watching her down ogres and orcs so easily...Was kinda like watching Garrick or Quayle do it. That scene looked rather ridiculous>_>
I would say "yes" if they change the way they wrote their bg2ee npcs from "do my quests, I'll interact very little with the rest of the game" to "I'll banter with every everybody , comment during stronghold quests and be interested in charname's conflicts."

Well, I could not agree more.
