    I’m really glad a developer that actually cares about BG made this game. I’m not sure how much more I can take of ruined classics.

      I’ve actually been kinda sacred to look at it because bg1 was probably the happiest memory of my childhood, really glad to see people loving it and I’ll probably give it a go

      (And yes I’m exaggerating a bit but I used to play with my grandma on her computer, she’d sit and watch and we’d chat about things and she’d take notes and stuff or suggest strategy - it was such a great game in every regard, the story and the combat were fantastic with such beautiful areas to explore… Then when 2 came out and you could load your old save and import the party you finished with as the characters you start with! It was the best thing ever

      Of course now I have grown as a man, times have changed and I have changed - I feared that there would be an empty shell under such a cherished memories name but tentatively I have started to allow myself to become excited to play it, sadly my grandmother has passed but what she taught me is you can’t live in the past, she loved new things and new ideas so I’m not wanting it to be exactly the same I’m just hoping it has that same feeling of fascination and depth of its forbearers as I hope I’ve gained from mine… Certainly im very excited to try out the new mechanics and gameplay elements that have gone into it, like having sex with a man that’s transformed into a bear.

    But most of them are not, because most of them are run by fat fucks in suits who compensate for their lack of human value by trying to amass as much sparkling, useless shit as they possibly can before they die of a fat-induced heart attack at age 60 on a golf course somewhere.

    It depends on wether or not the games free. I’m guessing it’s been paid for.

      That’s not really “DLC” in the conventional sense, that’s a deluxe edition. You’re not getting new content, just some bonus items for the base game, but a good chunk of what you get is actually outside of the game entirely (soundtrack, artbook, D&D character sheet).

      Most Sony exclusives are exactly this way as well.

      It’s typically when multiplayer gets involved that the investors start rubbing their hands together.
