Wow, they really made a DLC for a game 18 years after release just to gay it up?

A different company bought the rights to Baldur's Gate just to do that, yes.

Technically, were granted the rights, but still.

Even worse, a company made up of modders, who then proceeded to break the game in new and inventive ways, while adding practically nothing worthwhile with their edition.

Oh, and let's not forget the subhumans slapped the name of their company as both developer and publisher of BG1 and 2.

Which version of the first two games should I play? I reckon once I get to these games, I'll just disable this DLC.

It's not a DLC, it's a separate game. Just play the originals with gemrb, it works well for modern systems. Or just load it up with a bunch of Weidu mods - almost all the mods for the original BG1 & 2 are still available.

Problem is that many of the newer mods are made with the EE in mind. Also, you will need to hunt down the mod that disables the donutsteal NPCs that Beamdog injected into BG1 and 2.

This *might* make this SODding module worthwhile to play at last, but I'm not giving Beamdog a dime more. I'll see if I can get hold of it elsewhere. Thanks. :)

Yeah, that was funny too.. They essentially took what already existed (there were numerous mods around that already bug fixed, increased resolution, added new content, etc...) and did it "officially" in an incompetent manner. Not only that, but when people pointed out to others that they could download the mods to do the same for free with the old games, they talked GoG into packaging the old games with the "new modded" one for 20 bucks (the originals were much much cheaper) and barred people from buying the originals individually.

They can **** off, the worthless no talent scam artists every single one.

The encounters are good, the art is good, the dungeons are good. The only bad part that really hurts it is the writing, otherwise it would actually be a decent third addition to the original two games.

That's pretty sad. It could have been a massive feather in Beamdog's cap but instead Siege of Dragonspear will live in infamy.

Hmm what did you change @rusty_shackleford ?
Stringref 68091 reads "Make way evil! I'm armed to the teeth and packing a hamster!" for me.

I have many mods installed already though, and already have an override for that file, so wanna check and merge the change manually (if that line is still even in mine).

I'll send you my list of mods for BG1 and 2.

Also Enhanced Edition isn't bad if you remove/completely ignore all the added companions.

Don't play Siege of Dragonspear
