Geromino: Well, dont hold your breath in excitement. Its clearly a third rate company, so they added a lot of poor quality content, and even their bugfixing rather sucks.

On the plus side some of the new stuff is conventient. Like you can get a couple bags for scrolls in BG1 and a bag of holding early in BG2. You also get one Club +1 and one Club +2 for Jaheira in BG1.

And there is a mildly good second game included in each of the EEs, Black Pits 1 and 2, which is completely combat focused only.

And you can install the game on a modern computer and instantly play, without changing anything further.

ArthurWalden: I've thoroughly played the originals several times (both BG1 and BG2) but so far I've never really played EE much. My understanding is that, while Beamdog added a relatively small amount of new content to each that is generally considered somewhat mediocre compared to Bioware's, Beamdog didn't actually change or remove any content that Bioware already had in the games.

I was wondering if I was correct about this or if there's something I'm missing. (Note that I'm not referring to Siege of Dragonspear here, just the two EEs as Beamdog originally released them.)

ArthurWalden: If you mean they are still hopelessly out of date on the issue of bugs in the game, then again, that would be good to hear.
