I will never understand the haters of this excellent remake. I also bought both IWD1+2 when they came out. First in german, than a few years later as english DVDs, then at GoG again when they came on sale and I still bought the EE all over again. And you know what? They've done everything right! 1) The small tweaks go over extremly well, like 80 arrows per quiver slot. 2) The engine works flawlessly and the little UI enhancements alone were worth the money to me. 3) The EE is easy to mod. Most Gibberling's & Co mods work, but you need far less of them. This goes especially towards the NPC MOD. I can't play Icewind Dale without it, so I waited until it worked, then bought the EE. To sum it up, Beamdog delivered a pure Icewind Dale experience in a very polished package.
