anyone play the Enhanced Edition of BG1, BG2 and Icewind Dale? Theres a lot of old RPGs I missed out on in my childhood and I've been looking forward to playing these, but I heard the Enhanced Edition adds a lot of stupid characters and story changes that I'd really rather avoid, if true.

General GOG summer sale too maybe? Any other old games you're looking into getting? Was thinking of Gothic 2, Grim Fandango, Planescape Torment and Arcanum also. Is Gothic 1 as good as Gothic 2? Why the fuck isn't Morrowind on sale?!

BG 1 EE adds BG 2 style gameplay and classes. Also adds a few new NPCs who are easily ignored.

BG 2 EE has the new NPCs, who are slightly more in your face.

IWD EE adds BG 2 style combat and classes.

Siege of Dragonspear has your typical modern RPG features, such as sodomites and trannies shoveled down your throat. In terms of actual gameplay its ok. It is infinity engine, after all. Much better than, say, Pillars of Eternity. I'd play it again, which is more than I can say for any other RPG made in the last 15 years.

I think it's probably a better idea to just hunt down the original versions and use mods. The EE's change/add way too many things in BG1 for the purist in me to not get annoyed, and I don't think the minor interface alterations are that great.

Also not retro but UnderRail is 50% off in that gog sale and that's a damn fine RPG.

You get the original games if you buy the enhanced editions on GOG.

The biggest issues with the EEs were all the bugs and lack of modding support, but the bugs have been patched out and there's plenty of mod support. The originals still support more mods, but all the big ones now work with EE.

The additional content they added to the EEs are just optional characters, which all suck but can easily be ignored. I think there's a mod that outright removes the new NPCs for purists.

Honestly it doesn't matter which you play if you ask me these days. GoG gives you both versions anyway.

Also Dragonspear is garbage that isn't even worth pirating.
