They probably just have special icon for dragonspear because who wants bother with intro and clicking throught all menu everytime when they need to check something in reall game, right?
I am under NDA. You can tell me everything! (rolls charisma check)
Everything? Really? Okay... You're a horrible, horrible person for trying to spoil the surprise we're holding for you and have been working so hard to keep secret :P

Question. Will there be support for making a custom-made party like in IWD:EE without needing to use the Multiplayer-thing? I'd like to make a party with a certain Archer, Saber, Lancer, Berserker, Caster, and Assassin. . . .
(Sorry if this was asked before. I don't remember it being asked >_>)
If it hasn't been stated already by one of the higher ups I'm pretty much not going to talk about it.

Did you know that Daran Highhammer is primarily a worshiper of the dwarven god Marthammor Duin, though on the heels of battle he's been known to say a prayer or two to Clangeddin Silverbeard.*

I seriously doubt that those would go along.. Also, I just noticed it, but ...is Amelyssan Bhaals Grail? oO Also, I admit tzhat she is cute, but why did he trust her in the first place? oO
I'm hoping for some decent belts, ioun stones, amulets and rings. Trinkets like these are underrepresented in the game. Especially belts. One is hard pressed to find an interesting belt in either BG or BG2.

I think the girdle of masculinity/femininity counts as "interesting".

Don't worry I will die before revealing that secret! I take my NDA very seriously

Chris Avellone was interviewed on Shane Plays, a radio show/podcast. In the 45 minute interview, Chris talks about the games that he's made, from his early work with Star Trek back at Interplay, all the way up to Torment: Tides of Numenera and in particular, Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, which he has a lot of good things to say about.
Chris praises Beamdog's effort in making the transition from the original game to the expansion believable, with a prologue chapter focused around the political situation in Baldur's Gate following the protagonist's defeat of Sarevok. He's impressed by how their writers have given the original game's companion NPCs character development that explains how they arrived at where they are in the sequel, yet without the loss of stylistic consistency. He's also impressed by the expansion's antagonist, the Shining Lady, who he says is not really a villain, and even comes across as more heroic than the protagonist at times.
Also, Chris Avellone agreed to reshoot the first half of his Matt Chat interview, another interview that was given not long ago.
This part of the interview is entirely about BG: SoD. Chris has good things to say about SoD's hardcore optional encounters, about M’Khiin Grubdoubler, and about its technical and user interface improvements.
Chris also reveals the name of the Shining Lady, SoD's antagonist, Caelar Argent.
The Shining Lady is by far the most interesting thing until now in Siege of Dragonspear for me. I already was expecting her to be a Paladin, a beacon of hope and goodness, to exposure the putrid essence of the bhaalspawn.
It will all depends on her voice actress, but I'm seeing to be born a villain as good as Sarevok and Irenicus were.
Also, is it just me that is eager for beamdog to add her as a NPC in Baldur's Gate 2?
@Vitor she is not a born villain, she is the heroic antagonist accordin to mr. Avallone. ;-)
But I'm starting to think that SoD is actually nothing more than a ploy of Beamdog to get more writers & coders, so that they can create BG3 (it seems to work on Avallone...)
But seriously, thanks for the two links @bengoshi they made me even more hyped *_*
@elminster, you can answer about questions that I have done a few posts above?
Moreover, by examining in depth the video of the presentation is possible to see clearly as SoD is launched like a game in its own right, with its own icon on the desktop. It will not be associated to BGEE as ToB for BG2EE ??
It's an expansion. The version we had during the presentation was modified to jump directly into Siege, but the actual release of the game will be an expansion for BG:EE.
Also, is it just me that is eager for beamdog to add her as a NPC in Baldur's Gate 2?
It's not just you. Though if they were seriously thinking about doing that, I'd hope they'd start with M'Khiin, Corwin, Glint and Voghiln...
Indeed, BG2 could really benefit from an expanded selection of companions. Obviously, I haven't met these new NPCs yet, but if they're anything like the previous companions from Beamdog I'd be willing to pay for a smallish DLC that added them to BG2:EE. Ideally, with some related quests as well.
My biggest hope is that with SoD, we'll get some uniformity between all of the Baldur's Gate EE games. Voicesets, portraits, more smooth transition between games... that's what is needed most in my opinion. Could be a mod that does that but I don't think it's made for EE.

Everyone, spend 1 and a half hour on listening to those interviews. They are worth it.
