This of course backfired in their face as most of the hard core dungeon and dragon fans looked at this as a insult. This version of the game works better than the gog normal version (at least for me).Now having said that I have never been a great fan of Beamdog - namely because they went on lbgtq adenda for several of their remakes (BG1,BG2,Siege of Dragonspear). So much that it may not be running the right graphics card it makes me think even? I should look into that. Just surprised that my computer that can run Skyrim etc close to power as modern consoles the game looks choppy. So there is a little disappointment but if I focus on the nostalgia and have fun playing the game ie trying out strategies and options and exploring it is very fun. I'm enjoying the game don't get me wrong, but I am a little surprised that even though I have a fast computer (I think) the game is still running choppy. I honestly don't care if the game looks super pretty, so long as everything is functional and we get the under-the-hood enhancements that were impossible with the original version short of really hacky solutions. I'm much more concerned about under-the-hood changes tbqh, like the inevitable unhardcoding of classes and spells, so that modders can add all the classes of the PRC without requiring the truckloads of workarounds that the original game did or how about the netcoding changes that may actually make small groups of friends able to play LAN-style NWN modules with Steamworks-based invites and etc without mucking with port forwarding or Evolve/Hamachi/Tunngle/etc?That to me is the key feature. People seem to think this is just the Diamond edition which it isn'tHowever Beamdog pricing the game at this much and selling the premium dlc separately is a bit dubious.If for instance they added the premium dlc and ontop of that added one of their own creation (they could've made a polished 1-2 hr adventure module in a week considering they're ex Bioware alumni) that probably would've made it much more justifiable.I have no doubt that the price is reasonable given how much Beamdog spent on developing this version, but that value doesn't always translate to the consumer. If you just wanted to revisit a prettier Hordes and have some new classes to play you're SoL and probably pretty mad at what looks like, to you, a completely un-enhanced edition.They're not wrong to feel annoyed there's nothing for them here. It's about what you want out of the game. Technically that's all true, they didn't claim this would be a graphic overhaul or have any new classes or anything.But if you're a customer you might not care about what they promised. Was there this much hate with the other EE content BD has put out? Depends on your perspective. I can’t write it as a negative that the textures and models aren’t being completely reworked because they never advertised it as that.Ī lot of the hate seems misdirected, uneducated or people just screaming 'herp derp $10 more than GoG just go play that' for whatever reason. There’s added postprocessing, shaders, 4k support and higher AA options with UI scaling and a couple other QoL features. I seemed to have some issues with the GoG version, but some people have issues with EE, but that's the nature of PC's.Beamdog never advertised this as a graphical remaster (please correct me if they did). I’ve never had the game run this good and it’s easy to play multiplayer with friends (no networking hoops to jump through). Fast load times, no graphical issues tabbing out, backwards compatibility with saves/modules, reworked multiplayer (it works out of the box) and an updated toolset.
The main complaints that I see about this game in the forums/discussion etc seems to be people don't know what's enhanced, the graphics look the same and the DLC is paid for content that comes with the GoG version (it doesn’t).The game has been enhanced to work with modern systems.
