I might be tempted to try out the Android versions VolsungĬan you honestly get the game to look like the enhanced edition with just mods? It looks like Beamdog re-mastered all of the artwork, because the original never looked nowhere near this nice. So thanks but no thanks, at least for now. Oh, another plus for the original versions: they run flawlessly on Linux with Wine. I might try them out some time when both are available for super cheap, but I played BG2 and ToB a little over a year ago and it ran fluidly on my modern computer. And more importantly, I don't think either is available DRM-free (yet).

I do like nostalgia and whatnot, but this seems more like a ripoff. GOG.com versions are also completely moddable and have been available for pocket change frequently.Įssentially Beamdog put together some popular mods and asks you to pay twice as much for a game that has been out for over a decade and that I, and others like me, have played countless times over the years. You can get both games to run almost flawlessly on modern hardware with only a handful of mods (my personal choices: widescreen by G3, Ghostdog's larger BG fonts, Infinity cracker if you, like me, have disc versions). Honestly I don't think either BGEE or BG2EE are worth the price Beamdog is asking for them.
