>inb4 obligatory EE shitposting despite EE being objectively better for a very long time now and all the important mods moving to EE long ago

Guess /v/ doesn't wanna have a BG thread right now, oh well.
What the fuck happened to /v/
Eh...I admit, the new areas in EE looked gorgeous. Some of the new content was excellent.
Writing and characters however were not.
It was tyring. Most of the characters were just over the top and tried to hard. Worst scene was when a demon appeared and the player could follow a dialogue tree to deceive him.
It was meant to be smart, but came out as a big mess of words.

Well, it's not bg, but fanfic.

This one has Avellone overseeing the script though.

>inb4 memeposts
I really have too many mods for the original to use EE, what a shame

I still need to beat the first two games.
>>329804856
>first two
Technically you'd be better off playing BG2 after this since it's set chronologically between BG1 and BG2.
Which D&D mechanics does the EE use? Those from BG1 or BG2, or later?

ToB Mechanics + additional improvements on top
>>329805064
Then you're doing it wrong, never fall for /v/ shitposting.
>>329802401
Who's Shining lady? Tymora?

>low level Infinity Engine gameplay
>made by literally whos and modders

>literally whos
It has some of the core people who made original BG games, see >>329804647 >>329804818
Also since when is Level 15 "low level"?
Hollywood recycles old movie franchises
Video games make expansion packs for 15+ year old games

>tales of the sword coast 1998
You are only off by almost 18 years.
This is not an expansion.
>>329805686
But it is.
Age of Empires 2 got an expansion too after long ass time.

>original ex-BioWare devs
Yes, the ones that did not matter at all in the development.
>>329805684
I'll take actual new content that keeps old games alive over shitty reboots and remakes anyday.

Stop anon.
