Hey guys and gals,
Thought I'd start a thank you thread. You took one of the greatest games of all time and made it playable for another good while. Thanks for that, and looking forward to your next project.

    Most of the people who have positive things to say are too busy playing the game to respond to the whining.

    Absolutely! Don't let all the negative rubbish cloud your mind on this release Overhaul, it's excellent! A few bugs need to be squashed here and there like any piece of software, but the game is great! Thank you and I'm extremely excited for BG2:EE!

    Well there's probably more than "a few" bugs that need squashing... but yes! Thank you for making BG:EE :)

    Overall I think they did an excellent job. In some ways the age of the original code and lack of important items like the original art assets probably made this a harder job then starting from scratch. In the end, while I'm very happy with the game and new content I've seen (so far) I also consider supporting this and buying BG2EE an investment in (hopefully) seeing a BG3 someday.

    I started off playing Planescape: Torment. I really enjoy games with rich dialogue, detailed journals, and a general writing attitude of getting a feel for the world around you. This is sadly lacking in many modern games - games I also enjoy - but I understand that not all games can nor should be the same.

    Eh... I get off track easily >_>

    Anyways, it's definitely refreshing playing a story-rich game again!

    I want to say a few words as well. I had problem at first, so of course I was angry. But when I managed to get the game working, all was forgiven. I like how the way things looks and BG2 features (I never played with TuTu) it makes everything more easier for me, because I had a hard time figuring out what was what (I thought High Hedge was a circus the first time)

    I like you put Tales of the Sword Coast in this, because I couldn't play it back in the original due to bugs and I tried everything. When I managed to play a fraction, but was only stopped by the "Put Disc" screen.

    What really makes the game for me was Neera, Rassad and Dorn. I like their personalities and how they really enhanced the story for me and it makes it sorta deeper. I enjoy each of their side story, making me explore more of the Sword Coast.

    I like the new cinematic so far, (except the new intro) it really makes it more up to date.

    The most important thing is, that I am having so much fun playing the game, more than I did with the original BG. With the exception of starting the game part, I haven't faced any bugs, which is really lucky for me. I am sorry for those who are having troubles with the bugs.

    Again Overhaul, I thank you for this game and I can't wait to BG2:EE.

    I don't even know what to say to you, smb1987.
    But other than that, Thank you, Overhaul.

    Yeah. I beat the game for the first time a couple months ago, vanilla obviously, and I'm loving this enhanced edition way more. Mainly because Rasaad... I love Rasaad! And Neera, I just kicked out Dorn for coran, maybe kivan later, and gonna pick him back up when I unlock BG city and can continue his quest. Then he's gone again! A lot more fun so far, more in depth, I feel like I'm getting sucked in again like I haven't in a while.
