    Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition raises the level cap, possibly seeing a boxed release

    Thanks to a list compiled by Shacknews, a lot of new pieces of information have been revealed by Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition's Trent Oster through Twitter.

    - The level cap for BGEE will be increased.
    - A bad experience with Nintendo leaves no hope of a Wii U version.
    - After fan feedback, a boxed edition of the game is being explored, beyond just digital distribution.
    - The game will be localized in German, French and Spanish, with more languages in the works.
    - There is no plan for more than six characters in a player's party.

    And that was just within the last 24 hours. Other tidbits from last week:
    - The enemy AI will continue to be a pain in the butt, even with the new content.
    - Emphasis is being placed on great voice talent for the new content. Several actors have been auditioned. If new voice-over work is done for Minsc, Jim Cummings will reprise the role.
    - Mod support will be improved.
    - Updates for BGEE will be slower going than planned.
    - No plans for Xbox version because of controller issues.
    - Beamdog will not be doing an enhanced Ultima.
    - A Baldur's Gate 3 would take some heavy reworking.
    - Icewind Dale is a candidate for enhancement if BGEE is a success. The game would use the BGEE code base.


    Again, these are all pieces of information coming from Trent Oster, the president of Beamdog. Undoubtedly he will continue to Tweet pieces of new information here and there, so if you're a fan of the series at all then you should probably follow him immediately.
