Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
I think so, but not enough to justify paying $15 more. Pros: 1.UI was easier to navigate, and had more detailed information 2.It is possible to have an all-evil party in BG2 without using mods or more than one player-generated character, and there is a thief that progresses as a thief other than Yoshimo or Jan Jansen 3.It looks better than BG2 with a widescreen mod 4.Grand Mastery is more balanced than Vanilla BG2 GM or True Grand Mastery GM. Cons: 1.(BGEE)Mods that alter equipment stats(such as the "rebalanced weapon proficiency" component of BG2 Tweaks) don't work. When installed, the descriptions are dialogue from the game rather than an accurate description of the item 2.(Subjective and likely controversial)I would have preferred using the 3.5 ruleset rather than 2E 3.Kits and items seem to be pretty unbalanced 4.The new content that I've played(haven't gotten around to the BG2EE stuff yet) is around the quality of some of the better quest mods, but can feel pretty jarring, particularly Neira 5.Portraits included in BGEE aren't in BG2EE Constructive feedback: 1.The weapon styles should be improved(except maybe for TWF). Two-Handed and Single-Weapon style are too front-loaded and Sword&Shield style is too weak after BGEE. I think the second * should increase benefits by roughly 75% and that S&S should provide a universal AC bonus and/or damage resistance. 2.There should be at least two +5(+6 for 2-handers) weapons of each type in the game. Holy Swords(Carsomyr and Purifier) should deal that extra damage against all Evil foes, not just the Chaotic Evil ones. 3.There should be more quests that don't involve new companions.

Has any work started on the expansion yet?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to MoldyCheese's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It depends. The expansion for BG1 apparently includes a lot of cut content, so perhaps the PoE expansion will contain some of that. It's safe to assume they have a general idea of the expansion's contents.

Update #74: Wizard & Druid Reflections
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Mr. Magniloquent's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)They can, and they start singing "Wild Thing" constantly as a result.

Paladins and stats
Paladins FTW! Actually, Rogue as a high-damage class is how it was in 3e, where sneak attack would boost the hell out of damage output. Fighters will probably have higher base damage, and Paladins, Barbarians, and Ciphers won't be too far away. PoE Paladins also have great defenses. So why they may not be able to hit as hard as a fighter, they can laugh at spells that would demolish fighters.

Crazy difficult
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to a post in a topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)How about using that nifty "Ignore" option? Getting into tangent wars probably isn't the best use of your time.

Bruce, are you on something?

Paladins and stats
PoE Paladins are similar in concept to DnD Paladins, in that they are warriors with special defenses and have auras. Stats are point-buy, as they should be.

The Walking Dead
No on both counts.

I read the comic for a while then ditched the show. Zombies just don't do it for me.

Infinity engine question
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to khalil's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)In BG2, you can easily micromanage by turning off the AI and selecting evey autopause option. If you're trying to micromanage using only the spacebar, you're going to have a devil of a time.

Obama Impeachment
I voted for Obama so we could get 1000 years of darkness. I'm disappointed.

Update #74: The Mob Rulers: Wizards and Druids and our Partnership with Paradox
This doesn't make me want to play a Wizard or Druid, but I may have to Adventurer's Hall one if there isn't a NPC of either class. Paladins are still better though.

Hey, development guys?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Monte Carlo's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Conversely, are there any classes you don't like the flavor of?

Infinity engine question
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to khalil's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I liked the IE combat in spite of the mechanics. They just don't work well outside of PnP. PoE will hopefully provide tactical RTwP combat with a ruleset that doesn't require one specfic strategy in a given situation.
