in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)
Is there any release forecast, I would buy it on the spot! If not what would be the problem?

    Is there still a normal version of IWD2, seems to have had some improvements and even mods, will Bioware try to incorporate the same version of IWD2?

    IWD2 is available at GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/icewind_dale_2

    IWD2's version of the Infinity Engine is partially converted to 3rd Edition rules, so it is not compatible with the Enhanced Edition game engine. Without the source code, it is not financially prudent for Beamdog to attempt creating IWD2:EE.

    What classes do you have in BG2 that you do not have in IWD2? Is there a shaman in IWD2?

    It has to buy the IWD without having to install the GOG, already enough the steam loaded me memory, they could by everything in the laucher of the BeamDog ....

    The IWD2 classes are very different to BG2, even when they share the same name.

    There is no Shaman in IWD2.

    If you install the Player Resource Consortium (in short, PRC) mod, then yes. Otherwise no.

    Oficial IWD2:EE ?
  • fluke13fluke13 Member Posts: 399
    No..I just copied Targos into iwdee. But at least we know it works... at some point in the future iwd2ee will either be official or a mod. If it's a mod, we'd need a way to make sure people actually own the game (iwd2), otherwise there'd be obvious copyright breaches for distributing anything.

    A good mod, at that. IWD2 in 2E might just be playable.
  • fluke13fluke13 Member Posts: 399
    I'm digging way too deep into the iwd2 code heh, but there's some funny things in there, some deliberate and some I might be thinking too much about.

    One example... the barkeep in the Salty Dog tavern.. first he frowns on the occupants as drunks, then he asks if they want another drink... bad writing? Or... in his cre file, you see he has intelligence 6 :D
