Bridging the gap between two classics. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/2015/01/09/baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-devs-making-m/1
Two party members from Baldur's Gate 1 that feature in 2, are Minsc and Jaheira. If this new adventure means we get to learn more about Minsc (and his miniature space hamster), it can only be a good thing. It just depends if Beamdog's writing skills are up to it - so far they've been updating the old games with a little bit of new content - are they up to building a full RPG from scratch(?).
