GN writes, "A podcast dedicated to Dragon Age: Origins has featured an interview with the Baldur's Gate 2: Redux mod team, focused on recreating the original Baldur's Gate 2 experience using the Dragon Age engine. The modding group has had great success so far in recreating parts of the Irenicus Dungeon, screenshots of which can be found on the team's site. The Dragon Age Podcast group's interview reveals all the secrets behind the modding effort, including how others can get involved and some very ambitious release dates.
An excerpt from the podcast and screenshots from the mod can be found below..."
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
To make up for the Baldur's Gate 3 release window delay on Xbox, fans of the RPG franchise can expect Baldur's Gate 1 and Baldur's Gate 2 to drop on Game Pass.
Looks like more quality RPGs are coming our way via Gamepass! Amazing News!
A few tips for BG1&2..
#1: Press the little red diamond thing. That's quick loot and will show you whatever is on the ground, including the contents of corpses. Saves a million clicks and is the difference between an unbearable looting experience and a somewhat tolerable one.
#2: Go into the menus and enable some autopause settings. Particularly for when you spot an enemy or a trap. Probably also on character death.
#3: Crowd control is more OP in these games than in any other RPG I've ever played in my life. Fear it. Abuse it.
#4: Be patient. These are not experiences to be rushed and would be better skipped than skimmed.
At this point lore/recap videos are probably better if you are interested in BG3 but haven't played the originals.
DualShockers Writes "The legendary RPG is free on Prime Gaming, and still has the old magic."
OMG this will be awesome. Cant wait to play this on my PC. Sad such mods never make it to consoles.
I can't see it getting finished myself, that would be a massive task for even a full development team.
Hopefully it can be completed in a timely manner, as modding communities never seems to get huge projects like this out while the game-engine is still relevant.
A remake of BG1 is still under construction using the NWN2 builder & engine. I think the team is getting close on a release, but we won't know for sure until it finally comes out.

looks like theyre going to release in modules, which sounds sensible - so we should have something playable soon! theyre saying by september they should have released irenicus dungeon, which from memory was proabably a good couple of hours of gameplay.
OMG
BG2 is still in my all time top 3 ! This could be awesome
