[Request] Don't make new movies for BG2EE

Messi · January 2013

I've just finished BG2 + ToB with my BGEE character and the movies still look great. Sure they are only slightly bigger than default YouTube video, but YouTube seems to doing just fine as well.

The reason I make this request is that BG2 are really well animated and I'm sorry to say that with the shoestring budget you guys have I don't see you guys matching that quality, and because as I just said the movies are just fine still!

Alternatively if you absolutely must replace the videos at least give a interface option to choose between the old and new. This would be nice for BGEE as well.

I second this, the movies, well more like comic stills from BGEE i do not like. I seriously considered if that is just me loving the original game too much, and went back and tried to be objective. The conclusion is no, the original movies are better. I have a feeling that you tried to do these new movies Witcher 2 style, but somehow it just doesn't work. Imo witcher 2 scenes work because those are narrated flashbacks from the past, in BGEE it doesn't work.

Again, maybe it's just me

I thought the new movies were much easier on the eyes. The old movies kinda remind me of Reboot.

I like the old movies, however my like is heavily influenced by nostalgia.

I prefer the new movies and these are more fitting when you consider that Beamdog are trying to draw in new customers who've never played Baldurs Gate. I can image the old movies would put off a lot of the new generation.
