Just to be clear, this is in addition to the PC version. To finish up, here are some tweets from Trent Oster over the last few days:

Of course #bgee will be on PC. We're adding #iPad as a platform, we're 100% supporting the PC.

For #bgee we have all the creatures from bg2 and ToB. Some will be making appearances.

We've got five former Bio people working with us now. We'll likely be adding another two soon. Five worked on BG/BG2

We're interesting in the concept of including some of the great mods out there into BG "canon".

We have some ideas on mod management and how to improve the experience.
