    Hello,

    Let me start by saying a huge 'thank you' to every single person offering their share to make this happen. Thank you!

    Also, I'd like to say how bad I feel for myself for not finding this earlier... A random comment on Steam's topic about IWDEE brought me here (during work- and needless to say that most of today's jobs were left on hold :smiley: )

    I've spent most of my evening reading comments and details or to be precise, everything that I could find since I haven't had the time to scroll all 25 pages. But everything I've read so far about characters, spells, pieces of equipment, and additional opts are marvelous. I'd really love to be part of this, being a huge IWD 1&2 fan + addict since I first got my hands on those CDs I've spent countless hours for any playthrough (and there were many :trollface: )

    If I could join, I'd be thrilled!

    PS. English isn't my native language, so I'd like to be excused for any grammar or spelling mistakes I've made.

    PS2. Finding this honestly made my day!

    I had to register to this forum when I heard about this mod. I have been playing the infinity engine classics since 90's and I would love to test this mod.

    Is it still possible to join the beta?

    @deratiseur

    The opening post on this thread is very out of date; don't take it as the present state of IWD2EE. The most recent update was only a couple of weeks ago. We are almost done with the NPC dialogue at this point. The main things we still need to do before IWD2EE is released are:

    1. Give portraits to the NPCs
    2. Write biographies for the NPCs
    3. Give soundsets to the NPCs
    4. Enhance the rest of the GUI

    I think people are getting impatient. All these "I want to be a beta tester, here is my github link" are so many disguised means to try to have IWD2EE before the time.
    note : not me, i'm not fan of IWD2EE, it's not a rpg, it's a hack'n'slash.

    It is an extensive mod, not a commercial release. Plenty of mods never get officially released or even noticed. If you feel such entitlement, then you have plenty of commercial rpgs to buy. This mentality is typically first to whine when something doesn't work right on a "release" and that leaves you with the choices of self-modding or abandoning. Which is exactly where this mod sits now.

    I extensively play-tested this EE version a while back and completely enjoyed the play and was happy to aid the process while enjoying the play-through. Some issues were disruptive but I suspect many or most of those are addressed.

    If a "I want to be a beta tester" goes through and simply reports overall impressions...that is a beta test. It is even better if they are able to identify and report some issues that need fixing.

    Did you consider using neural networks for portraits and soundsets?

    I'd say it's not a hack and slash but a dungeon crawler

    Good evening! This looks absolutely incredible. I've been peeking at it for a while. I would love to be apart of the Beta testing if your still in need of playtesters. My qualifications are as follows:

    -Fan of the infinity engine since BG1
    -IWD2 is my favorite Infinity engine game. Still remember blathering about how excited I was for this game in the car until my dad yelled at me to shut up.

    Regardless am so excited to see the finished product! Good luck.

    JtheExile#0710 is my discord.

    Hi!
    I have one question about debug mode , will this enhanced version use the same way and the same codes in the console? Sometimes i like to simulate a "roll" like in bg games and i would like to "fix" some parameters for my characters...
    Thank you, i really appreciate you work

    All the console commands that were available in the original IWD2 should work in IWD2EE.

    Seems like after 3 years it might be time to just post this mod somewhere for public download, no?

    If not though, could I please get access to the beta? https://github.com/retroGRAD3
