Immersion
I am quite new to this forum and I don’t usually post however I think Baldur’s Gate one of the greatest games out and have played it with my friends over Game ranger I also enjoy the Legend of Drizzt books.
Whether this starts a discussion I don’t know, but I love immersion, The Elder Scrolls seems to be able to achieve this effortlessly with me, I like seeing stuff that sends your mind on interpretations and lets you use your imagination to enhance your own personal story. What I was wondering is whether little fixes, tweaks and general stuffs are being added to the Enhanced Edition which would increase immersion.
Such as infravision, it bothers me it has no use other to make things glow slightly red? I think it would be great to make infravision useful and a bonus worth having or actually making dark areas visible or line of sight increase at night, whilst humans and beings which lack infravision to have decreased line of sight when in dark areas
I don’t think this feature would make it to the final addition because I’ve read some things that say the sprites are being untouched, but it also bothers me that the main sprites for each class are lacking in customizations, like girth, beards or no beards, long hair, braids hoods and general bits and bobs like different belts and pouches.
I think more little description boxes and stuff should appear to describe the scene with detail and again enhance the story and environment or is that me getting too “Planescape Torment”?
Is there any news of the new kits? And will I be able to be a werewolf/shape shifter druid for Baldur’s gate enhanced edition? And will it be fixed so its playable and not weak in later game?
Sorry for all the questions but I hope someone takes interest.

Thank you for the information! It is a shame the sprites wont be altered however It is not much of a loss, being able to play the game comfortabley with fixes and better resolutions is just a dream come true and hopefully we will find ourselves going on adventures with other people on different platforms like the Imac and Ipad.
I am glad you agreed with the Planescape Torment comment :P the small text boxes that appear that tell you the stench of the corpses and the noises within durlags tower really make it for me, its like step between books and games.
Thanks again for your comment.
