Yes, I'm playing it, and its amazing! Its like Baldur's Gate 3

I'm still not far from the start point but it's looking really, really good and worth the money I put into it.

 

-Y-

Wait until you see later all the awesome gameplay elements, like the massive number of spells you can use . The quests are great as well (played over 30 hours, and I still didn't reach the second big city)

Thank you very much the new version!

Check this out: http://www.pcgamer.c...mminent-reveal/ . A surprise is in the works by Beamdog .

A Baldur's Gate set between 1 and 2, curious to see what's that about .

Awesome words of encouragement, I think I'll try again today, just one more questions: are you using the GOG version of the game, and if so have you ever run across this problem? This is the exact issue I ran into last time but It's from an old thread and I didn't think newer versions of BWS would have this problem considering how popular the GOG versions are. 

I am also curious if the install works fine with the Gog version of the game, since I've never tried one. I'm planning a reinstall, and with the Gog versions of BG1 and 2 it would be easier..

What's wrong about getting a little excited about the possibly of a new Baldur's Gate game? If it really is true, great, if not, it would be another similar game, so also great. Win Win.

I am a hopeful dreamer, can't help myself, its all in the name . And a game that's similar to Baldur's Gate by Beamdog simply sounds good, and I don't see any reason to be pessimistic about it already, since there is nothing posted except a timer.

You choose to be negative about it, okay, your choice, but you shouldn't try to stop me from being positive about it. Maybe I'm wrong and the game will not be good or BG, but maybe I'm right. No one knows.

Well I read through the thread from page 13 while travelling and there's a metric fuckton of stuff from what I gather. But meanwhile some points:
- WHY THE HELL DID ANYONE NOT START UPDATING THE BWPFIXPACK? Im sure someone knew how to branch out of git and stuff... I kept the thing in git for a reason
- we need MicMod
- its cute to know ive been missed

Im only done syncing up my mods to the latest stuff - just need another test install done to confirm - and then we'll try working towards getting every fix and patch in this thread into the fixpack

I'm happy to see you are back . I will wait patiently until you update the Fixpack. Also, I've read that there are problems with the fixpack and the Gog version of the game? Maybe you could look at that as well, not sure if it was covered here.

In my next install I would like to do a proper mod selection, and not end up like last time, with the game too buggy to finish. So, in your experience, which mods are simply too buggy from the BWP Standard and should be left out? Or mods that offer too little, for the risk of breaking too much, like the one day npc's?

Okay, thank you for the reply, Roxanne . Its good to know that the Standard mods are safe to use. I got worried mostly because I saw that Nej was in Standard, and it wasn't in the past, so I started thinking about this buggy mods stuff.

Hello

Crossmod Banter Pack I think is this: http://gibberlings3....ds&showfile=704

Ajantis I think here: https://kerzenburg.b...loads.php?id=62

Jastey's I think here: https://baldurs-gate...ead.php?t=43420

Couldn't find the other two. Maybe you can send a PM to Almateria since she's active on the forums, for Almateria's Quest 2.

Please post a link to your Let's Play series once you get started

Having played many hours of NEJ I can clearly say it is much better than IWD!

I always wanted to play it, but since it was included only in the Expert BWP installs in the past, I didn't risk it. So, is it truly safe to use now in Standard?

I think so dreamer!

Great news! Thanks, Bill Bisco

The Imp was helpful for me to get things better (newest version of BWS & finding a few mods).  I will post a link. 

Yes, please do. I want to start my standard install at the end of the week, and those mods were always present in my installs. I wouldn't like skipping them this time.

Yes, please do.

Chevalier is referring to the eventual youtube content, but the BWS he talks about is just the most updated version that is available, which is not the bws_20150302.exe, but this one(yeah warning, that's a direct download link to the master branches zip file, which I talked about here, there and else where).

Thank you, Imp

Quick question. For the install, should I use the Install.bat? Or go with the BWS installer? I always used the install bat, and used the BWS only for the mod downloads, but since its so well mantained, I was curious if its safe using for the install as well.

Yes, use BWS to download and install mods! Quite safe! Easier! BWS Doesn't require you to unpack mods yourself and you can establish your own location for your BG2 mods.

Okay, thank you again, Bill Bisco!

A series from beginning of BG1 untill the end. Ambitious . I like that you chose my favorite class as well, fighter mage, although I usually go with gnome . Good job on the first video!

The Lolfixer should handle this in the next BWP and let you keep the ToBEx option active

When you say "next BWP", you mean this BWP?

Thank you very much again, Leonardo Watson!

Congrats on solving that . Have fun in ToB, its one of the best expansions for a game ever.

Thank you for the vids as well. I am sure they will be helpful to people installing for the first time .

Okay, so it seems that the "new game" is actually an expansion to BGEE, called Siege of the Dragonspear. Still, good news

Here you can see Beamdog's stream describing the expansion.

http://www.twitch.tv/beamdog/v/7198879

"25 hours" of janeplay
new everything, but with some returning npcs
standalone
new class, shaman
soundtrack by sam hulick
2 new difficulty levels

story: theres a chick in the north that leads a murdercrusade, shes a bhaalspawn, murder her guts

Perfect summary

No standalone: it is an expansion for bg1ee

Yea, that's what I understood as well initially.
