Lost localization

For a remake of one of my favorite games, I'm not satisfied. The game itself, well OK, it's still as good. But I was expecting three things for this version: - keep the game wonderful (this one is OK... mostly) - better graphics -native linux support - well, maybe a fourth, some bug fixes and enhancements The graphics don't actually seem to be better that the original ones, like for BGEE (probably easier to seem better for this older game). No really visible enhancement on my 1920x1080 screen (I didn't even test it on my bigger resolution screen). BUT there is a real catch! The game lost the french localization! (and many others it seems). So it doesn't actually do "at least as good", that's a major regression.

Best CRPG Ever? Kinda...

Is this the best CRPG ever made or is that pure hyperbole? Well, a little of both. It's hard to say it is the best when so many other amazing CRPGs exist. This Enhanced Edition version of the game is a solid update from the original and worth consideration. All of the EE versions of the old Black Isle infinity engine are well done I could waste 1k words telling you about it, but I don't need to. It's great and if you like CRPGs this is among the best

Forcing the "enhanced" thing?

The original BG2 game has been removed from the store, meaning that now, if you want the original game, you are forced to buy this Enhanced Edition by Beamdog. Why do they do this? Because otherwise nobody would buy this "enhanced" thing! Beamdog's version was a failure and now they try to make profit from the success of the original version (which is *not* their product!). That's just very low.

This is it...

...the game I own more copies of than any other, with the possible exception of Morrowind, but who's counting? Incidentally, it is also the last game I ever bought on release and the only one I've ever bought the Collector's Edition of, but that's beside the point. In any case, I can't believe that I'm only doing my third complete playthrough right now, and I'm amazed by how much I MISSED the first two times! That's because the companions have so much content that you don't get to see when you don't have them in your party, and the first time I mostly stuck to the first few I encountered (of which some DON'T have their own quests) and didn't change the party basically until the end, and the second time I solo'd a Kensai->Mage, which was fun in its own right but again, I missed all the companion stuff. So, do yourself a favor and not only play with companions, but don't be afraid to switch them around a bit, to spice things up. Yes, this may result in sub-optimal XP distribution, but then again you will gain a lot of XP for the additional quests and A LOT more playtime and fun! There was also a time when I used to be a bit disappointed by the lack of open wilderness locations compared to the first one, but I must admit they tended to be somewhat empty in BG1 and the (still many and much more diverse) environments that are there are so immensely dense with content it is absolutely staggering. It is also a much more complex and sophisticated game, in a good way! In open world games like Elder Scrolls I tend to enjoy the early game more than the late game because of the greater sense of accomplishment and danger, but not here! Yes, your characters get more and more powerful, but so do your enemies - in a good way, not the level scaling crap of, say, Oblivion. And with great power come hundreds of awesome spells! Mastering them is certainly a challenge, but one that's very rewarding. The AD&D rules may be a bit janky, but it's not a perfect game, just very, very close

Great enhancement to the original

Bought purely as a nostalgia item I got sent back to my teenage years when I first booted this up. I recently purchased BG II: EE as the month this review has been posted (December) and have already logged quite a few hours into the game. If there were any bugs as others have mentioned I have yet to come across them but then again, I am also playing on a iMac so I may not run into the same issues. BG II EE takes what the original did and expands upon it by adding more NPCs and widescreen which the original needed a mod for. Gone are the wonky windows 98 graphics controls, everything is set to look great from the beginning and any other changes can be made from the in game menu. For those that haven't played BG2, this is basically the cornerstone of today's open world and ended RPGs. You start in a dungeon and end up in a large world with over 350 some quests to complete (more since ToB and other items have been added in the EE). You can solo but it takes time and effort to go that route but the party dialogue and playing is fantastic. I haven't tried the multiplayer aspect yet as I mainly bought to play single player but if it is anything like the original BG2 then I am sure it will be a blast to play. The overhauls in this game, in my opinion, aren't worth what they are asking for but do add functionality and usability to the game. This isn't to say to not buy the game, but if you have the original I would be skeptical on purchasing this one unless you have the extra cash to throw at something like I did. Bottom line, BG 2: EE is what I wanted from the original. Despite owning the original on GoG I still purchased this one and do not feel as though I wasted my money. The game still plays great, offers challenge unlike most newer RPGs that literally tell you where to go, and has the option to play with others and have a great adventure.
