What are you talking about they have said plenty. It's a remake of the first game with a enhanced edition of BG2 later, going to keep the same 2nd edition D&D rules, only going to be on Beamdog, a full remake of the infinity engine, will fully embrace modding, have new content, are going to keep the same 2d isometric feel as the originals and they are trying to have multiple languages. That sounds like a bit more than you said. Look at my post above yours as well.Andy Chalk said:

Baldur's gate looks very good even by today's standards.
If, hovewer, they are adding turn-based combat, the I'll be all over it
It's actually secretly turn based. Everything in the combat engine works around the concept of a "round", you have a set number of attacks per round*, and you can cast one spell or use one item per round. A round is six seconds long (which is, in certainly older D&D books, the amount of time a combat round is supposed to represent).
* Because 2e was counterintuitive at every possible opportunity, you could have half numbers of attacks per round.
It actually is not Bioware that is making this, if I remember correctly. It is a bunch of former Bioware devs. And if they need monehs to make Baldur's Gate III, I am willing to rob a bank for them.[footnote]Note: Not actually willing to rob a bank. Blind fanboyism can only go so far.[/footnote]GloatingSwine said:
Can do, good sir, can do! Still have not got around to playing the first game in the series, so this will give me a great opportunity to do so.80Maxwell08 said:
It's going to keep the 2nd edition D&D rules. They have been constantly saying new info on their twitter but the news here is very slow to update.Nikolaz72 said:
No, they don't. WotC didn't like the way Atari was treating their property and successfully sued to retract those rights. If Atari is doing this, it is likely with WotC's blessing.80Maxwell08 said:
Yeah, who would want another Neverwinter, one of the most awesome examples of mod-friendly game design ever made that is still played by thousands of people?Nikolaz72 said:
Not that Neverwinter, The other neverwinter. The dungeoncrawler game that came up not too long ago.PrinceOfShapeir said:
Changing the ruleset would almost certainly mean redoing every area to ensure an appropriate challenge curve because not everything is the same across rule versions. As it is they only need some slight tweaks to the most annoying areas.80Maxwell08 said:
