Dear fellow Baldur's Gate players,
I was 14 years old, when Baldur's Gate 2 was released. I can remember that I preordered the Collector's Edition of the game (saved my allowance for that). It should have come in a wooden box including a dagger and more. Eventually, the game became available, but the Collector's Edition was pushed back (similar to the SoD CE these days
) Few months later, I was informed by the retailer that the wooden box edition was canceled and that there will be a "normal" cardboard box CE. Ok.
Years later I found the following picture on the internet when I was googling for information about this story, but I do not know anymore where I found it:
Is it fake, did this person made the box by himself?
I just remembered all this when the Beamdog newsletter about the SoD CE arrived today. So I googled again and still I just can't find any information about an actually produced wooden box BG2 CE.
The only information I can find are from gameswelt.de and bg2.de. There were news that the BG2 CE would include the following items:
- exclusive handmade wooden box with a burnt in BG2 logo
- BG2 tin dagger
- the game on 4 discs
- reference card
- manual
- Icewind Dale demo disc
- limited BG2 postal cards
- Black Isle book
- BG2 trading cards
- CD with addon characters and further pictures and music of the game
So: does anyone know more about this? Does anybody own the wooden box edition that is shown on the picture? If yes, please make some more photos and post it here

All it's missing is the BG2:SoA T-shirt which was sold in Europe 15 years ago!
Bone daggers are in Bhaal dreams and in some ToB boss battles.
