I think everyone already forgot about this game.

 

[Dorateen]

I just finished it last week.

 

[Lacrymas]

My deepest condolences.

 

[Delterius]

Infinitron is generous with his pity coverage.

 

[Jezal_k23]

So... have there been sales numbers or estimations?

So... have there been sales numbers or estimations?

At least 2% of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition owners also own Siege of Dragonspear: http://steamcommunity.com/stats/228280/achievements ("The End of Korlasz" achievement)

Do the math: http://steamspy.com/app/228280

That's the only estimate we have.

 

[Mustawd]

That's not very good...if I'm mathing correctly.

Releasing as DLC was a bad idea, but that order came from WotC.

That's a shame. It's quite fun, try it if you liked IE combat at all. Insane with no HP/exp boost was almost as good as SCS imo.

pippin is correct. Citation? Possibly here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...e-of-dragonspear.107891/page-146#post-4498997

It was a suicidally bad idea, they should have played hardball and refused to release the game as a DLC.

 

[pippin]

I've said this a number of times before, but WotC doesn't like DND products that aren't current edition.

 

[Mustawd]

Running WotC into the ground like they have takes some real fucking talent.

 

[Nazrim Eldrak]

Ok, here are some news about the collectors edition. Finally it seems Beamdog is sending it to the customers.

[Morkar Left]

That's a surprisingly awesome CE!

CE owners get Beamdog's next game (to be announced "soon") for free.

 

[Comte]

If they get it for free I am assuming its going to be another remaster.

Probably Icewind dale EE 2.

 

[Infinitron]

More likely to be PS:T IMO if it's a remaster. inXile's Torment is coming, it's time to cash in on the awareness.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Meanwhile, their previous releases still have serious bugs that originals did not have. I like how 1-2 years seems to be a perfectly accepted minimum time to do anything at that company.

Like what? And which game?

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Btw I just revisited the official IWD EE forums, since I had to drop my playthrough some time ago due to a serious bug in the Seer dialogue.

The last patch was almost two years ago.

 

[ArchAngel]

Heh, I finished IWDEE once right after it released before any of patches came and I didn't run into any bugs that I noticed. I guess you were unlucky.

 

[Metal Hurlant]

Just because you didn't notice any game breaking bugs doesn't mean bugs are not there. Players like myself who have played the original IE games many times will notice bugs and things not working as intended compared to the originals when playing the EE versions.

Admittedly, I've only played BG1EE (and SoD) and that was enough to put me off buying the rest of the EE games.
