    I just finished replaying Icewind Dale main game on Steam and thought I'd look quickly at the PS4 version which I had shelved because of the bug in PS:T. To my surprise the patch started loading and I had to come over here and see what it contains. Thank you for doing this! The bug stopped me from playing PS:T on PS4 since I could not read the menus back when I originally bought the game.

    Hi,

    Is there a patch in the works to correct the Icewind Dale EE PS4 version bug where insane mode only gives double bonus XP for killing enemies but not quest rewards (correct rewards should be 100% bonus XP for both quest rewards AND defeating enemies)?

    From what I understand this has been an issue for Nintendo Switch as well as the PS4 version with a previous post on the matter in 2020.

    Please can anyone advise of any fixes/solutions for this?

    Many thanks

    Huzzah! Just platinumed BG1 and trying to decided if to do Siege of Dragonspear now or Baldurs Gate 2 (I think Siege of Dragonspear works really well as a sort of revist after Throne of Bhaal like a farewell to all your favourite characters) but maybe I'll do Icewind Dale instead on the of chance BG patches come out too.

    Wow. Does this mean we might get patch updates for BG on consoles sometime, too?

    Hi is there any fix for not being able to adjust quantities for items you are selling on the switch version? I can't raise or lower quantities and that means I am losing out on heaps of profit.

    Also, I'm curious about the community's thoughts on the UI improvements. I've found them to be a mixed bag; while some changes make navigation and inventory management much easier, others seem to have made certain aspects more cumbersome. What's your take on this?

    Lastly, I'm eager to dive deeper into these games with the patch applied. If there are any specific changes or improvements that you've loved or found particularly beneficial, please share! Conversely, if there are areas where you feel the patch has missed the mark, I'd be interested in hearing about those experiences as well.

    Looking forward to your insights and happy gaming!

    Neverwinter NIghts - i didnt like the "improvements" that made the game heavier than it was. The classic edition was lighter and the graphics enhancements arent much of a big deal, the UI got full of graphical options that i surely didnt/dont miss from classic's age. The only good thing about the UI is that we dont see copies of teh same resolution like we do on classic build.

    Planescape: Torment - The enhancements such as being able to zoom in/out the screen is REALLY welcome. But the fact it kept the original UI aside keeping the small GUI to display the descriptions of item/weapons/etc forcing us to scroll EVERY DAMN TIME we want to see a description without need is a pain in the butt (This happens with all IE games). The entire GUI of Planescape should have been changed to something different and better.
