We’re waiting for approval on the 2.6 patch for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition.

What does it mean?

The portrait highlighting feature (i.e. when you pick a better item for a character, his or her icon is highlighted in yellow) from Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear will be ported to Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition as part of the 2.6 patch.

Will it also includes this feature?

Man, turning 20 already? That's quite the milestone for a 20 year old to still be supported! This calls for celebration! And what bettre way to celebrate than with a questline in BG2 which closes the Soultaker plot hole?

I haven't touched NWN in years but when most of the content has updated models, as they say they are doing, going back to it will feel like a breath of fresh air. And there's several modules I've heard about that I simply must play due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews, like Aileund Saga. Many modules are better than the vanilla content. I'll be buying this soon and sitting on it for awhile until it's all done.

Also, will there be an option to turn them off? That's been a long-standing request for BG:EE and BGII:EE.

Yes and Yes. At least in the current internal build... anything can change of course.

In the meantime if you have access to the BG games, copy STATVAL.2DA into the IWD override folder and that should fix the item comparision.

I also would like to know what "waiting for approval" is all about.

I'll take a speculative stab at that:

Since the 2.6 patch is in conjunction with Dice, Camera, Action V/O and portrait pack, they may have to get the whole thing approved by WotC before it can be released.

Made a mistake about IWD Item comparison. Unfortunatly it will not be part of 2.6. That will hopfully come later.

But turning it off and on for Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 will be part of 2.6.

Heya! Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think my question for this livestream didn't make it on the broadcast. I am genuinely interested in learning more about the "new fun" that Mr. Oster would like to make regarding NWN:EE. Also, is it possible that the new main menu art that's part of the Android OS Beta could be ported to Desktop? And yes, I will save my Black Friday humor for next year. Thank you for reading, and happy gaming to all.
