It's not that bad, no, and the game has been patched several times since its initial release to remove most of the initial problems. There's actually a massive overhaul patch coming in a couple of weeks that will refine the interface and performance, and address a number of minor lingering issues. Cybermancer Active Member Aug 10, 2013 26 0 0 #10 Cybermancer, Oct 5, 2013 I'm on the fence, as well. Considering TA's review and all the feedback this game received so far, I'm thinking about holding off for now though and waiting for an even better deal around X-Mas maybe...

That disput was resolved back in August and the awaited patch, which should address outstanding issues, re-entered development. It was announced early September that Baldur's Gate 2 for iPad is targeted for a release date of Novemebr 15th later this year.

Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #15 Appletini, Oct 8, 2013 Yes, which is why I said it. The folks at Beamdog have been very active, providing a running update of the patch status including what testing needs to be done before the patch is released, what they've fixed and changed so far, and what they still have left to do. Check out the dedicated Road to 1.2 forum over at the Baldur's Gate site for more info. Gilgilad Well-Known Member May 15, 2013 159 0 16 #16 Gilgilad, Oct 8, 2013 Thanks for the link, I found it interesting since I have been looking forward to the patch for a long time. Glad to see they are taking it serious. Pipipitchu Well-Known Member May 4, 2013 1,644 0 0 Civil Servant Rio de Janeiro, Brazil #17 Pipipitchu, Oct 8, 2013 I bought the game on this sale and I'm still learning and getting into the game. I guess I'll leave it on my back log and wait for the update. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
