One of the best role-playing games ever made is coming back on November 15. Like the enhanced edition of Baldur’s Gate before it, BG2 is getting a total overhaul: four new party members, a widescreen version and so forth.
It’s out for PC and Mac in November for $US25. Android and iPad versions to come.
