Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition Will Feature 350,000 Words More than the Original
Did you Like Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition? I did. If you agree you probably already know that Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition is currently being worked on at Overhaul Games.
What you possibly didn’t yet know is the sheer size of the additional content that the remake will bring. Producer and Writer Phillip Daigle revealed on his personal Twitter account that the team wrote 350,000 words for of new content, and they’re going to try to get some of those many lines voiced.

That giant wall of text (and hopefully voice) adds to the 1.2 million words of the original, ensuring that even those that already played the game a metric ton of times like I did, will definitely have quite a lot to discover with the remake.
Here are the relevant quotes directly from Twitter:
#BGEE #BG2EE For all of the expanded content in BG2EE it looks like we’ve written 350,000 words. And now we’re trying to voice some of it.

#BG2EE #BGEE for reference Gaider (one of the original writers) said BG2 is around 1.2 million words. So we’ll be at nearly 1.5 million.
