Baldur's Gate Enhance Edition for iPad

[pka4916]

I see that the price is $9.99... Even if it was $29.99
it's going to be an instant buy.. even though there are some IAP's for it.

•New Adventure: The Black Pits
•New Character: Dorn Il-Khan as an in-app purchase
•New Character: Neera the Wild Mage as an in-app purchase
•New Character: Rasaad yn Bashir

Yeah, I cannot see myself fully supporting this. I love this game, I love Bg2. I want them to make more. Especially Planescape Torment!

Probably because of the extremely low average low prices on games on the AppStore, they've made the decision to release the core original complete game for $9.99 and new content at an additional $9.99.
I think it's a wise decision.

The complete original game with the original expansion pack alone will provide between 80-100 hours of gameplay, and that's conservative.

With new content DLC's it'll jump with around 20-30 hours of gameplay.
A great offer IMO..

I'm gonna buy the whole package on release day for my iPad, and have already pre-ordered the game for my pc.

Only 15 days to go...

So all the new content is IAP? I guess it's no different than buying an expansion pack, as long as the prices are reasonable. Don't see myself buying new voices or portraits for more than a buck or two.

Just getting a quality port alone is certainly worth $10.

Edit: Paying attention, I now see that one character and the adventure are included in the price of admission. I might be willing to pay for the rest as a "tip" for a job well done.

Please note, we're paying a total of 29.95 (base + IAP) for what pc/Mac users are getting for 29.95. They have said this in the forums. They had specific reason they had to do it this way, but I don't recall why.

Didn't you mean we're paying a total of 19.95?

Yeah, LCDDreams is right. It'll be $19.95 for the original game (with expansion pack), and new content (voice packs, new characters, portraits etc.).

Yes, thank you, 19.95, not 29.95... *sigh* Don't post right before bed....

Probably just trying to get pricing more in-line with similar products in the App Store while trying not to alienate desktop gamers. A tough line to walk, for sure.

Anyway, I'm not complaining. This means I get to pick and choose which expanded features I really want (can't wait to try the wild mage).

Lots of insight into the development of Baldur's Gate: EE.
Unfortunately no new screenshots, but a promise of new promotional material coming soon. Yay.
