Only screenshot I have seen (Not really following the project closely) was on the tablet, is that the UI you mean? Beamdog screenshots http://www.beamdog.com/products/baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition

I seriously hope they are gonna work a little more on the UI though. It was fugly in the last screens I saw.

Uh... no. We had full control once we recruited them. We had to follow the game mechanics and rules, but I could dualclass Imoen into a mage for example if I wanted.

Would he attack from afar throwing ceramic pottery?

Yes, I too really like the wallpaper and hope that the portraits will have the same style.

I didn't even know that a Dark Alliance 2 was released. LoL.

That's a beautiful screenshot!

"Uh, looky here, a nice backup-tape. I just needed one for my stash of pr0n."

Spoilers ahead. What makes me wonder is who the hell will be in this fantomatic BG3. And what about companions? I don't want a sequel without some of them! I can live with that.

All of the above are true -- however: There is a 100% offline mode, and the Beamdog client doesn't have to be running when you run the game (and there is no advantage of having it running, either -- no "Stream overlay", for example), and you don't have to use cloud saves. There hasn't been an explicit promise that there will not be day-0 DLC, but I'd be shocked if this was the case -- the devs have their hands full simply trying to get the product out the door. Tablets will have day-0 DLC, but that content is included in the PC version, and this was done to reduce the base price on tablets. Mmmh. The beamdog client is the bigger issue for me. I hope that it will come to gog sooner or later.

I could think of buying it, if it will be released on gog. Though I've heard about having a system that connects to their servers for update, cloud saves and possible release of DLCs. Don't know if it's true, but that would be a big "no no" for me.

-Player's home upgradable to a manor/keep. With a lot of management options and related questes/questline. I'd like to get my place with some questing rather than buying a deed from some NPC around town.

Since you'll need to reload, I'd say cooldown.

Don't forget that with PayPal we are already over 2.4!

MMMMMM SUUUUPER! Third thread!

Much love and appreciation guys!

I prefer BG1 for the exploration. BG2 maps outside the city were truly beautiful, nothing to say, but I felt a bit sad about being able to go there directly, without exploring about a bit.

+ More Companions + No immortal NPC (unless it's a story driven attribute. I'm not referring to children, about them I don't care either way) + Items artwork and description/background story in the inventory + Ability to initiate dialogue with party members without waiting for they to decide and become chatty from time to time + Ability to add custom portraits (no, not to change the current ones by putting new ones in the 'override' folder) + Ability to add a 'blason' like symbol on my armor/robe/cloth/bare chest, and on my (closest?) companions too (like the banner in Diablo III) + Easter egg random encounters + Easter egg spell that drops a cow on the target any combination of these would make me increase my pledge

I'm with you Neversleep. And, I'd like to point out DA2 as a strongly negative example for this matter.

Amazing job as always Ink.

They could have set a goal on x followers on twitter too.

Only 18k? Source?

The only time I used multiplayer in BG was to create my own party. And I used the characters of The Order of the Stick as portraits. Lots of fun.

Well, you posted when they had ~5000-6000k, so technically we only needed another 15k
