More information.

I'm very excited. I stopped playing DOS halfway through and wanted to start it fresh.

Now I have a very good reason to do it !

The little I know of this enhanced edition sounds very promising. It looks like it could be an interesting E3 this year.

I did the same.

Yeah this is shaping up to be one of the few E3s of the last couple years that I'm actually looking forward to.

 

[Darkhawk]

I did the same.

Me too actually. Same as with Beyond Divinity (almost happened with the first Divine Divinity too), interest just fizzled out a bit over the middle/close to the end due to lack of meaningful content for me.

It's a great game tho', so the Enhanced Edition sounds perfect.

Is this going to be a free upgrade or a small charge to upgrade????

I am glad I saw this as I was going to do a replay starting this week for a change of pace after 100 plus hours of TW3.

As much as I like D:OS, I was hoping to get some more info about the new projects. The Enhanced Edition is cool and all, but I played the game to death.

At some point probably next year or so I'll replay this one, I look forward to seeing all the new stuff and changes.

Never mind I read the kickstarter page.

LOL you beat me to it by a minute.

 

[CelticFrost]

Though it is great news, it is also bad news. I wanted to start a complete replay of it this week. Thought it would be a happy choice after TW3, with its silly humor.

A heavily rewritten story with a brand new ending

This blows my mind. Was the original that bad?

 

[Couchpotato]

Seems I will wait for the enhanced edition to finish the game. At least I finished Wasteland 2, but I'm also waiting for the enhanced edition to start a re-play.

This blows my mind. Was the original that bad?

Compared to their last release Dragon Knight I would say yes.

Edit: I'm talking about the writing & story not the game.

 

[CelticFrost]

This blows my mind. Was the original that bad?

I thought it was really well done and had no bugs or problems with it. I am just hoping they haven't changed it so much as to make the puzzles easier.

One of the refreshing parts of the game as nothing was handed to you. It really made you think and look for things.

 

[Kaspian]

I could see myself getting this. I really liked Original Sin when it came out, and have been meaning to replay it at some point. I wonder if my mage's creeping oil fires of death will still be effective. =p

 

[DArtagnan]

I'm really looking forward to playing this again - and the improvements sound fantastic.

Two things that would make it near-perfect would be hand-placed "significant" loot and 4-player cooperative mode.

Is there a release date?
