You know as good as this is I'm kind of peeved, I just rebought Baldurs gate from GOG like 2 weeks ago on the recent sale. (which i already owned) I've effectively chucked that money away as I haven't even downloaded it and I'll obviously want to get this enhanced edition instead…
I find it somewhat supsicious that GOG and Gmers gate had a sale JUST before this announcement, I suspect they had inside information and decided to make a last chuck of cash out of fans while they could.
I feel somewhat ripped off now…

Both company's suddenly sell the games for the best prices they ever have, just before the product becomes far less valuable. I find this as at least a little suspicious.
It's kind of a sad thing that they have run out of ideas and have to remake the old RPGs, but I'm still thrilled about the remake(s?). But I guess we still have to wait for Baldur's Gate 3…
I enjoyed a lot Monkey Island remakes, so I have high hopes for this. Hopefully the new content is minimal (<5%) and only for polishing the experience, which I believe is the case.
It seems they are making two games: "Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition™ and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition™ will feature a re-forged version of the Infinity Engine with a variety of modern improvements.", but they really should have combined them into a one huge experience since the game has continuation through the series (BG1, TOSC, BG2 and TOB).
I'm sure they're going to make remakes of Icewind Dales as well, if the sales goes high enough and hopefully Planescape Torment too!
I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of positivity and I just can't see any justification, that won't include the words 'sell' and 'out', in attempting to improve a game when its solid design and its dedicated modding community have ensured that it has no noteworthy flaws or shortcomings.
Well they are less likely to sell the old version now, so will make less money from it in future, selling it when they did was the perfect timing. I certainly would not have bought it had I known a new enhanced version was coming.

This is a case of agenticity and paternicity
Even with the widescreen mod, the UI isn't great at high resolutions as the buttons, text, etc. are really small. Plus the sprites become tiny. And if you play it full screen at a lower resolution, it doesn't look that great. That's an age flaw that this most likely fixes.
Woah I have no idea what either of those words mean, I guess it's time to google and learn something new!
