This makes me very happy. I loved those games, and was upset when my BG1 CD3 became too scratched to use, along with my BG2 CD1 shattering into a million pieces inside my CD drive.
I look forward to, one day, playing this revamped version of the classic story.
I hear Bioware has changed a lot of the game to make it more appealing to people who bought Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3. Boo is now a romance option. And the entire second half of the game's just gay porn clips played in succession.
Oi. This shit's all good in my book; it was Dragon Age 2 that was the fucking train-wreck of a game.
And for those of you who can't wait until summer to get your hands on some Baldur's Gate goodness, you can hit up GoG.com for lovely DRM-free, cheap-as-chips copies of the original two games.
