    Does anyone else here absolutely love Baldur's gate and play it to death back in the day (I've frequently re-installed it once every-while to give it a re-run).
    Then you'll be glad to know something is going on over at the Baldur's Gate website:
    http://www.baldursgate.com/This has me so damn excited, whether its either a new game in the series (please do not destroy it), or an HD remake of the original, just the name baldur's gate has me salivating (hence the current avatar)...

    It's still speculation, but they posted somewhere on their twitter that they got a new macbook and that it's for developing something, this was posted very shortly after the Baldur's Gate, so all speculation leads to something Apple related.

    Yeah I seriously hope its not a damn ipad port... surely they wouldnt advertise an iPad port this much! The scared part of me wants an HD remake, the courageous part wants BG 3. I did some further snooping and they were also looking for a 2D illustrator just before they posted that - so some speculation is that the imac has something to do with this? but yeah no idea... I just want to know!

    I hope they don't try to make a console crossover like they did with "dragonage 2" .
    First part was amazing ... dragonage 2 just sucked salty balls!

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was an iPad port, what with the (relatively) recent success of Spiderweb's old-school RPG Avadon: The Black Fortress when it was released for iPad, which pretty much gives assurance that there's demand for these kind of games on iPad.

    Also:
    Wtf? o.O

    Well, not the gameplay just the artwork. It's all dark and smoothly shaded like a gauche canvas.

    I absolutely LOVED the Baldur's Gate series. I beat the first one in about two hours, though. Baldur's Gate 2 was a bit lengthier, but still very short. I wish they would make a new one and it be pretty long.

    That's exactly what I'm talking about. There's another BG? Wow, I'll have to Google that. I feel like such a n00b! There was a PC version?

    Personally I like Minsc.... And Kivan for some reason...

    Maybe I should change my avatar to Kivan... due my current douchebag archery ways...

    Hahaha minsc is definitely the funniest, and kivan is pretty damn cool.

    Yeah haha the PC version is really different to the console version! you should give it a shot, its not really action oriented though, essentially its turn based (sorta)
