    Will you translate to Spanish those games on Console release?

    I am very excited about this. I am more of a console player than computer; in fact, the Baldur's gate/Icewind dale games are the only ones I play on the computer. I look forward to these coming out. I don't suppose that BG1 for consoles might include the NPC Project material? Its dialogue enhancements really add a lot to the game and don't really change it, other than moving some late game npcs to places where you can get them earlier, which is also nice. If not, at least I hope you all might make it possible for mods like that to be added to the console games by the gamers.

    Actually, my PS4 died on me a few months ago, :(

    I now only have a Chromebook, which does play the BGE and IWDE series (which keep me busy) but does not support NWNE.

    So, I think I might buy myself a new Xbox One. I used to have a 360 before switching to PS4, and regretted it ever since.

    Really? All the good exclusive games are out on PS4. I regret sticking with Xbox. They have no good exclusive titles. The best feature is backwards comp, which really, if you have an xbox is meaningless.

    The last console I bought was the Sega Genesis, any hope there? If not maybe for my Commodore Amiga, or heck I have a ColecoVision and even my Magnavox Odyssey2? I'm just kidding... but not really, the Genesis was the last console I bought... I'm a PC guy

    I have to agree with you on the exclusives. However switching to PS4 was for me a drag. It was non-stop running updates, when I wanted to play, and often still very buggy, very annoying. For me, the benefits of a stable system outweigh a few great exclusives.

    The backward compatibility is a must to me. I have a lot of old games I still like to play.

    I don't know if this has been asked yet but will there be cross play?

    I'm going to guess there will be crossplay between all of them but PS4.

    More photos. Just look at that Controller Map in the BG art style. ;)

    I'm very interested in the upcoming console releases. Is there any confirmation of local multiplayer? Also wondering about custom portraits... would love to be able to play Icewind Dale locally with the family. Can't wait for more details. Now if Beamdog could get ahold of the Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance games for console...

    :unamused: that portrait isn’t very balduresque or IWDish.
  • ThelsThels Member Posts: 1,422
    Why are we getting sneak peaks of stuff that was promised to be released over 3 months ago?

    Considering the current speed of things, and there being absolutely zero updated, nobody is going to enjoy that stuff any time soon...

    “Apparently the team at Beamdog had to go and squash a huge amount of pathfinding issues in the game to get this working”

    I'm holding my breath for pc 2.5 ... just don't let me suffocate ...
