Baldur's Gate (http://baldursgate.com/)

This popped up about 18 hours ago, counting down 24 hours to.... something (which ends about noon our time).

I don't know about you guys (and I know this seriously dates me) but Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 are the reason I'm a gamer. They're the first PC games that really sucked me in and I love them so much I've replayed them multiple times as well as their sequels (Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torments and less so Neverwinter Nights) thanks to Gog.com.

Any other BG fans? Speculations?

Thus far all the industry knows is: The Escapist : News : Website Teases New Baldur's Gate ... Something - UPDATED (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/116066-Website-Teases-New-Baldurs-Gate-Something-UPDATED)

I played BG 2 but wasn't into it that much. I thought Bioware said Dragon Age was the spiritual successor to BG

According to IGN, it's going to be a remake of BG1 and 2.

It would be nice to have it re skinned to play better on modern monitors. It's hella hard to look at on a high def comp screen.

Still I wanted a new game.

Yes Dragon Age is Bioware's take on it but honestly DA lost a lot of what I love about BG, mainly that whole top down party management and D&D style character progression. I love the pause and assign tactics to in the BG games.

Damn it, I just remembered that I lent my Baldur's Gate II to my friend in grade 9 (12 years ago) and never got it back...

BG would be an awesome game with some voice acting.
