Baldur's Gate Reloaded Goes For The Eyes

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

OH MY GOD. I'm so glad I recently bought Neverwinter Nights 2 off GOG.

 

[xdiesp]

Is this on baldur 1's ruleset, or nwn2's?

 

[ExtraDebit]

I just like to point out that the quality of bioware's games especially in the story department isn't what it used to be when black isles left.

As far as I can tell, it's still using the original 2ed ADnD ruleset. It might be sacrilege, but I would kill for a proper 3.5ed adaptation.

I haven't checked combat logs or anything, but it uses 3.5 for character creation(I made a warlock), and I find it highly unlikely that the mod team managed to change the entire NWN2 combat engine to implement THAC0 and Save vs Breath Weapons. On what basis are you claiming that the Reloaded mod is using AD&D rules?

 

[Little Gray]

Well if that is not a reason to reinstall NWN2, I don't know what is. I may need to re buy Storm of Zehir though, oh well.

I just finished the original NVN, any suggestions on what to buy for 2?

Buy the diamond edition that comes with everything.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Wow, that is quite an impressive mod.

Too bad I recently finished BG1 again so although I would like to play it in 3D, it is way to early to do so. Nonetheless, I recommend those who haven't played it yet to try it.

 

[Tiamat666]

No way.

I came here all smug, wanting to rant about how this mod will never be finished because it's far too ambitious and BG is just too big and this and that.
And then I read that it's actually already done?

Consider me flabbergastedly humbled.

 

[Imre Csete]

Damn, I don't have Storm of Zehir, time to rectify that!

 

[Nikolaz72]

Never underestimate the power of the Modding, Luke. Been on and off following this for the last 2 years, and I believe they began before that. Unlike others they don't really flaunt it past the Bioware forums, I first heard about it secondhanded on a roleplaying server and shot it off as impossible.. But nope, now it's here.. I'm gonna play it. Whoooo!

Note: Someone is well underway in making a full Icewind Dale remake for NWN2. Just saying.

To be fair it was an ambitious project The guy behind it started in November of 2006[footnote]http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/167/index/3120312/30 toward the bottom of the page[/footnote]

Wow. The guy must have a very deep love for BG running through his heart to keep that up. That is just amazing.

Incidentally, I just ran through the whole modding procedure for the original BG/BG2 a couple of days ago intent on taking the plunge. Now I guess that was a futile gesture as I'm going to have to play this.

Or maybe I should wait another 7 years until this person mods BG2 into NWN and makes it seamless to BG1...

 

[IanDavis]

On what basis are you claiming that the Reloaded mod is using AD&D rules?

Well, I didn't see any mention of it ANYWHERE on the project page, so I assumed when they said "porting the entirety of BG1", I figured that meant the rules. Somehow, I thought that a 3.5ed conversion would be a huge, newsworthy thing, but you're right, converting NWN2 backwards is more of an accomplishment.

So, it's actually more awesome than I originally thought.

 

[barbzilla]

Good luck, the DRM server is no longer available, so unless you can get it DRM free you won't be able to activate it. I have a legit copy on dvd, and I can't get it to activate, even with cracks. (this applies to SoZ only though)


Also, there is a complete remake of Icewindale on there as well. Fully made, non-beta.

Not sure about NWN2, but someone was working on remaking Shadows of Amn for Dragon Age. Here's a cutscene they did for the exit of Irenicus' dungeon:

 

[xdiesp]

These guys are amazing, no one can keep a mod project alive for 7 years. I have seen countless very good mods, with very good people, die for the simple reason that they were taking too long.

What else? Another nail in the coffin for BG Enhanced.

 

[thiosk]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG !!!

And to clarify my position

OMG

Freakin' awesome. Still got my 6 disk copy of BG1&TSOC at home, sitting next to Icewind Dale ... Shadows of Amn ... NWN1 ... NWN2 ... Champions of Krynn .... Gateway to the Savage Frontier ..... Eye of the Beholder ....... Pools of Radiance ......

(am I showing my age yet?)

I love champions of krynn and gateway. I replayed it a couple years back. Still the best of the old gold games. Never got into pools. Something about the updated design killed it. I found them no where as accessible as krynn.

I might replay champions...
