Probably a stupid question but how do you pre-download?

I've pre-ordered the game but can't find where you pre-download from. Am I missing something?

    You don't even need to use the client.

    Simply go here and click "download now" in the upper right corner.

    No. But there isn't for us Beamdog Mac customers either, so you are at least in company with our joint peasantry.

    Just curious but how are you steam bound? Mac I get, but I am not sure I follow when a PC user couldn't order directly from Beamdog (and put more money in the hands of the people who actually developed the enhanced edition).

    For some its a credit card issue, which is understandable, since Steam doesn't require one.

    Other than that I don't see many valid excuses =P

    basically i only order my games from two sources, Gog.com or steam. if its not available on those platforms i dont want it.

    That seems very categorical? But to each his own I guess.

    What is the difference from downloading BG2EE from Beamdog or downloading it from Gog.com? I understand a philosophy that you want to encourage companies that do things you like (as in Gog keeping old games alive, etc.) but isn't that exactly what Beamdog is doing here?

    I wouldn't order this on any platform other than straight from Beamdog because I want to encourage them and other developers to undertake projects like this and if everyone bought this through Steam then the project would be a failure because the revenues wouldn't support the work for Beamdog.
