Hey Overhaul, I will buy all DLCs for the Baldur's Gate Series. So make more of them, even if it costs a premium.

I'm not quite sure what they could continue adding~ =S
Come on now, what's with all the negativity? I've come across two threads today where you express anger.
I've written on threads with you before, and you seemed like a reasonable guy, which I'm sure you are.
You know as well as I do, that the Devs aren't "greedy", even if they do ask for money for DLC's.
They don't work for free, do you?
Case in point, they've promised additional DLC's if demand is there from us, some would be free, some would cost money.
The ones they'll likely charge for, is additional adventures to the game, expansions if you prefer.
I would pay for that, for sure.
I'm simply disappointed, that's all. I just wish that they had spent more time and effort into the game so it could deserve to be called "Enhanced Edition". Now I just feel like they've let me down by making promises they couldn't keep.
Admittedly, I'm not dismissing them out of hand- hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes here and make sure BG2:EE is the best port that ever existed. But if they fail again, there's a good chance that they'll drag the franchise down with them. I don't want that to happen, and I'm sure you don't want it either.
Don't know exactly what you expected, but maybe the next installment or DLC can win you over.

It's not so much a problem with companies selling DLCs as much as companies just overloading us with cheap DLC that would normally be seen as in game features 10 years ago. Case in point look at games like Saints Row the Third, which offer DLC that give you outfits NPCs use. That sort of thing would have been unlockable in a game last generation, and now they expect us to pay for it
The Devs have several times stated that they feel the same way as you about the way some companies use DLC's.
We will most likely get some new portraits and voice sets for free, but the more major stuff like bigger adventures will probably cost money, and rightly so, IMO.
Maybe new chars with quests will cost money too, and I'm fine with that also, it's not as if the game is lacking anything, I don't have to get them if I don't need them.
All in all, from every interview I've read and every podcast I've heard with Trent and co., they really seems like decent guys, that care about the game and the surrounding community. They wouldn't nickel and dime us, they aren't EA or similar giants, they're a small company and they put their own money at stake on this adventure that we are now enjoying the fruits of.
You've got the full game +original expansion, numerous fixes, enhanced graphics and multiple resolutions, not to mention new NPC's, the black pits, I could go on and on...
If they release a new adventure and want's 5-10 bucks for their hard, costly and, frankly, financial risky work, why shouldn't they charge us?
We already have the promised additions to the game. Everything after that is just gravy.
I don't get it, I really don't. Would you rather they didn't make any DLC's, and just called it a day and continued on to their next project?
Lots of people have their game up and running after getting the solutions to their problem there.
Other than that, you're gonna have to wait until the community or the Devs comes up with a solution for you.
The best way to achieve this, is posting your problem and a detailed description of your hardware and software, but post it in a RELEVANT thread!
Look near the top on the windows forums, there's threads that deals with stuff like that.
You're much more likely to get help if you post it where people read it.
At the same time, make sure you write support@beamdog.com, again include as much as you can of system/hardware/problem, and wait your turn. They'll get to you, they just have a lot of work, so be patient.
The game is finished, if you have criticism, why don't you be specific, 'cause how the hell do you expect people to discuss the game with you if you just write blank statements like that?
