If you feel the same way here is a relevant wishlist entry.

Here's what I don't understand about the anti-enhanced edition argument:
If you're old enough to have played and loved the original versions, you clearly already own them. So why do you care? Anyone too young to remember the originals are far more likely to buy a modernized and fully supported version than they are a creaky, dated original. If the enhanced editions get more new gamers into these classic games, particularly if more people start modding again, then it's a win-win.
So they will presumbably remove the original NWN from GOG which sells for $9 and now charge $20 for the enhanced edition 'effort'. Fuck these fuckers.
But you can still play the old version. And, quite frankly, so can anyone who buys the enhanced editions, as the old versions are bundled. You already own the originals, so it won't cost you a dime. And I still say the existence of the enhanced editions will make new gamers more likely to experience these games.
Also, in the case of NWN, they say that original mods will work with the EE.
So you're one of those glass half empty people.
Lets see how this will turn out before drawing out pitchforks.
Sure thats true for this enhanced edition. I have nothing against a new version existing but I wish more care was put into them. Why wouldn't you want the choice to purchase the original game separately?
Also they do not have the same artistic vision behind them of the original creators
The original campaign was crap, so I sure hope they include at least all the expansion packs. An EE is pretty cool for all the great mods out there.
Because the original version came out fifteen years ago and no longer works on my system without considerable effort. And even then, because technological standards have progressed so much since 2002, the game looks old and dated. A modernized version will allow me to enjoy it again like I did when it was new.
This is the same reason I no longer play the original Morrowind, but have transitioned completely to OpenMW, even though it's not technically finished. Every original mod may not work, but the advantages far, far outweigh that disadvantage.
And also, I'm 42. I own the originals.
To be fair, some of those original creators are the same people who made this EE version. Beamdog head Trent Oster was the director and producer of NWN the first time around.
Well great. But what do you have against other people having the choice to purchase the original separately?
Look, I don't have anything against that choice on its own merits. I'm just trying to apply a little reason here. My point is, anyone invested enough in these games to care about it probably already owns it. And anyone who doesn't own it by now will probably be more likely to buy it if it has better support for modern systems.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying you probably shouldn't care quite so much. No offense intended.
And I'll just leave it at that.
Thanks, Beamdog.
If this "EE" don't include 2 expansion and breaks compatibility for existing player made modules, seriously don't see any reason to be delighted about this news.
