zordren3742: No idea why so many people that hate beamdog gather here. I did not see this level of hate anywhere else not on any site. I'm supporting a game that I used to play.because it was and still is a one of a kind game, other than nwn 2 which we already went over. One that alot of people still like. Beamdog is there yes.but it's about more than that to the people supporting it. But it's fine that people disagree. No one could expect eveyone to get excited about a 15 year old game, that was never going to happen.
how many websites do you go on talking about how great beamdog is?
In capslock. BEAMDOG in capslock.

zordren3742: I'm done guys, I really am cheers. Good luck with shutting beamdog down and the purist master race thing, really.
You were already "done here" because you had zero intention of any debate anyway, ie, you created a new account here 2 days ago, made one single "hit and run" troll topic that involved copy-paste identical posts from multiple other sites (that strongly resembles "viral marketing"), have done nothing but throw attempts at cheap "hater" insults rather than address any valid points made, and now openly admit you intend to abandon it as a 'single topic account'? Enough said...

GR00T: As far as NWN goes though, I think most people here that are still playing or are still interested in the game probably have GBs of mods/haks etc, and don't really see the point of the EE of NWN.
I was interested in it because of the possibility that they might add full party control as an option, because the "henchmen" system has always been something that drags the game down and prevents it from being as good as it could be. Unfortunately, it seems that Trent Oster considers FPC to be badwrongfun of the highest order that violates his artistic vision of NWN as a purely multiplayer game, so it doesn't seem likely that it'll be implemented or that they'll open up the code enough for the community to implement it. I have no interest in NWN: EE unless I hear about a change on that issue, because it doesn't appear to be offering anything I'd consider worth paying for. Instead, I'm now concerned about how badly the EE might divide the community.

actually, i am one of those who liked BG:EE and don't have much trouble with how they bundle the games. However, there are valid concerns about these issues which has nothing to do with "the purist master race thing".

name calling and ignoring those issues (due to ignorance?) did your cause a lot more harm than the good, this could have been handled a lot better...

It's an irony talking about "hate" and "haters" being you the one that says such things that provoke others and talking as if you were the only one reasonable person in this thread.

And "shutting beamdog down"? You were not reading a single argument in this thread, rigth? you are just making your particular crusade to save beamdog, who knows why (a simple fan? an employee? an executive?)

Yes, you are done here, good job :P

I guess this is where you went wrong. you came into what you supposed was a "normal" gaming forum without looking into what this site is about. gOg used to be called "Good Old Games" and as opposed to thinking that people are not exited about a 15 years old games, this is the opposite - this is the place where people are highly exited about a 15 years old game... This is the site where you can still buy the original Neverwinter Nights games ( https://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_diamond_edition and https://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_2_complete)

The users here do not need a revival campaign, as the games in question never 'died' here, but are still surving and doing very well. What they need is reassurance that the new EE versions will not 'spoil' or 'ruin' the games they already play and enjoy. Thier problem with Beamdog is that in many ways they handled the BG:EE release wrong in many ways, and they do not trust the company to get it right this time either.

Your message was target towards a wrong demographic, and then you did not adapt to / realise what was happening. This is the problem of copy-pasting content from one context to another. This is fine, but be aware that the message changes depending on the context it is in.

There used to be a hak/mod that allowed you to create your own party with more than one henchman. It was called the OHS Henchman System or something similar, by OldMansBeard. I can't seem to find a link to it anymore, but if your google-fu is better than mine, perhaps you can track it down. If memory serves, you could combine this with TonyK's Henchman and Battle AI so you could give them much more robust commands.
I am not sure on this but are the beamdog's earlier EE releases bug free and patched good ? i have one baldurs gate EE and they are still patching it up.

Can't we have both? :P

I own the original and remasters of BG and IceWind and I play them all. They each have things I like and don't like.

Honestly, the big reason I like the remasters of the aforementioned two is because of wIdescreen. If they could give us the originals with good sharp widescreens that don't screw with perspectives/models and controls (Diablo fans know what I'm talking about) , then I guess I could do without the remasters.

Well, one of the complaints is that if you're trying to buy the games, you can only have both. You can't actually opt to buy just the original anymore.

yeah, I know, and that's bullshit.
Of course, by selling them separately, one could then argue GOG is going for a cash grab. Right now you get both for the price of one. That's not a bad deal.

I own three copies of Terminator 2 on DVD and four copies of Blade Runner. I paid for all of them separately, basically forking over an additional $20 every time I wanted a couple of deleted scenes and some improved effects. I think I got ripped off. :P

No you don't. You get both for the price of... two. The price of the EE is double the price of the original alone. Sure, you could argue you get the original 'free' with purchase, but if all you want is the original, you're paying double the price it used to sell for and getting something you don't want as well.

At first I didn't think this was a big deal, but as time went on and I thought about it more, there's really no reason to do it this way other than to force people to buy the EE version. And the more I thought about it the more I disagreed with it.
