@immagikman just because there isnt many people who are demanding pvp, does not mean it would'nt bring an interesting element to the game, considering the hardest enemy to fight is another human player because of unpredictability and better reactions and preperation, I would welcome the addition, I remember reading it that the team were looking into it at some point.

that and also the simple fact (that I mentioned) that the forum's demography does not represent the targeted game audience well. Here I almost only see die hard hardcore Baldur's gate fans that are a bit over-zealous and conservative.
However this game is targeted at a wide audience : 500 000 gamers. PVP being extremely popular for the mass, most of these 500 000 gamers would love to see PVP.
the 500 Average users of this forum isn't really a good sample for the 500 000 average gamers targeted.

I find it hard to believe that you think that the "Best RPG in history" only had a few diehard fans... Im pretty sure that the game once it is released should be able to appeal without PvP to more than just a "Few nut case nostalgia freaks" as on person put it. MOST RPGs do just fine without PvP. Be that as it may, you are free to campaign for your desire. Im just posting opinion.
I'd love PvP mode, but simply didn't know where the poll is or that it existed and found this topic by luck because it had a post in the best of section. (Found it: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/64523)
What is planned for the pre and post release marketing of the game? A cool cinematic on you tube to tempt all my friends on the fence to buy it =]! How can your fan base best help to market the game? We really want you guys to be uber successful, so please let us know!
Trent, could you please do a short post answering the above marketing related questions for us? I bet that I am not the only one that wants to be lockstep with your team in marketing the game before and upon release. We feel really invested in its success as well!

thanks, finally a concrete answer. I do hope one day you will find the time to do so.
I'm glad you looked into it, it means you were interested in the feature.
I will buy the game regardless, for all the other features and the possible updates.
the debate is now closed, as far as I'm concerned.
I had my own topic, with ideas about it here (PvP, dungeon races you name it):

I've even a simple far less coding required idea in there.
Thank you! Just two weeks!!! =]
