While that was a good game, there was far too much reading and not enough fighting in that game. I remember going through so much dialog that I thought it would never end.

Yes, but as I mention in my other comments, the current 'widescreen' support leaves a bit to be desired unless you enjoy playing the miniaturized version of BG on your modern flatscreen HD monitor.

A 75 pixel tall character in an 800x600 display is 12.5% the height of the screen. The same 75 pixel tall character in a 1920x1080 window is 7% of the height. So while you can see LOTS of background, it's not quite the same presentation when all the characters are half sized (including ALL the now headache inducing teeny tiny text).

That NEEDS to be fixed and I don't think it's something that should be left to the community to pick up since it's likely an issue with inner workings of the Infinity Engine rather than something that can be tweaked from the finished product - otherwise I'm confident the community would have implemented more robust HD / Widescreen support.

Yes, I was more than happy with a functional 'fix' for a 15 year old game that mostly gets it right. But I will not be happy if a 15 year old game get re-released (and not just a repack) without support for modern presentation.

I don't need full 3d or to be able to circle the camera around my party. No cutscenes or animations for criticals or fancy spells. No trophies. No Facebook integration. No update to 4th edition rules (how they'll get around to using a very old version of the DnD rules worries me).

Just take the old game, dust it off, reintegrate the stuff that was originally cut and the pro level community content, and make it look right and play smooth on modern computers. Then do it again for Planescape Torment and Icewind Dale in that order.

Can't get to the website. What is "enhanced" about it?

Its "Beamdog", not "Moondog"

And not to be confused with Catdog, Cavedog, Underdog, "What's up dog?" or anything else canine-related.

They couldn't do anything as sophisticated as WEIDU even if they tried....

I think what we want to hear is a truly modernized but completely faithful update of the game. Not just widescreen support and a handful of bug fixes.
