    Does this new shiny story have new sprites(for us) as well in it?

    I just had to ask ;p

    Well from Phillip Daigle's tweet I'm assuming there will be barrels involved. Maybe daring escape from goblin

    I don't get it. Is this going to be standalone ? Should I delay my bg2 playthrough so I can play it ?

    Because I'm not starting a new playthrough any time soon, bg2 is way too huge for that :-)

    It should not be a standalone, it supposed to be integrated with the main game and bhallspawn plot line, Our main guess is that it is an interlude chapter between BG1 and BG2, but than again its just a speculation...

    Well, I mean if it's a standalone campaign or not. Cause if it's an interlude, it's not incorporated inside a bgee or bg2ee campaign, right ? Then the only real connection is going to be character importing.

    Bottom line is, I sure hope it doesn't require a new bgee or bg2ee campaign to be started.

    If it's between BG1 and BG2, well, I've already made it to BG2. Not sure when I'll be starting another game that will give me the opportunity to play and adventure during that timeframe. Maybe a year or more, so that would delay my need to purchase for quite a while....

    I was kinda hoping for something in between SoA and TOB, but between I and II is good too!

    I kinda want Melissan to make a guest/secret appearance. I think she would be a cooler character if she was working the Bhaalspawn at an earlier time.

    Maybe as a "guide" for Sarevok under a different alias, so that he would not remember her when ToB starts?

    HMMMM.... familiar voice actors sounds exciting. Maybe some old NPCs we love will show up?
    I'd really like to see a Xan or a Branwen show up. Perhaps Skie and Eldoth?

    To reinforce what we already think, in Neera's quest CHARNAME is referred to as the victor (not sure if that's the exact right word) of Dragonspear Castle. Now unless I am incredibly unobservant and thus have completely missed something we have not encountered Dragonspear Castle… yet.

    Yeah, some of the most popular NPC's (Aerie, Jan, Korgan) are only available after SoA, so it would be much better for the bulk of any new Bhaalspawn adventures to be set between then and ToB. But maybe that will come as well.

    I kinda want Melissan to make a guest/secret appearance. I think she would be a cooler character if she was working the Bhaalspawn at an earlier time.

    Maybe we can find out where Imoen came from. She and the MC are supposed to be about the same age, but she came to Candlekeep ten years later. So where was she before then? I always imagined she somehow became a pickpocket who was caught by Gorion or one of his friends who recognized what she was.

    hmmmm..... in a Mazzy and Valygar banter, Mazzy mentioned taking her "squire" to @Dragonspear Castle after their adventure was through.

    What I'd like for Adventure Y is enemy diversity. Monstrous and undead creatures with on-hit effect combinations not seen in the original.

    Especially for humanoids I'd like to see a greater variety of melee opponents. Not just human+fighter. Elven swashbucklers, blades who use their spins... there are so many interesting classes that are underused for enemies.

    As soon as I've seen that @Jalily posted in this thread (after a long break) I've thought: "Ohh, are we there already?"...

    Heya! A new portion of popcorn is coming:







    Although I'm not 100% sure it is about the Adventure Y, I think it actually IS. In the past we already had both Trent's and Phillip's words regarding voice actors and one can say they were connected with the Adventure Y:





    Of course, the Adventure Y has the "Y" letter in it. And probably Jennifer Hale (the voice over actor of Dynaheir, Mazzy and Commander Shepard (female) will participate;)

    I'm really hoping this Dragonspear Castle idea is a real thing, and that it takes place between BG1 and SoA. I just saw Mazzy and Valygar's dialogue about it again.

    I also really hope the "familiar voice actors" can be old BG1 NPCs, either minor or joinable, who return to the story. Anyone from Kagain to Thalantyr would be exciting! Maybe we can even finally get an explanation about Quayle's transformation between the first and the second games! I'd love it if it began after BG1 and then ended with our hero going on a little stroll with Imoen, Minsc, Dyna, Khalid and Jaheira, and some ominous music.


    Eh.... it could be anything! Speculation is fun but I'm eager to try the real thing. Whatever is coming all I can say is that I can't wait for whatever it is!
