EET Renaming Consideration


Recommended Posts

I only understand EET as "EET". I have to think hard to even remember what it is an acronym for.

Don't mind too much, not many remember what IBM stands for.

And I'm not sure that many are aware that UNESCO is an acronym (and I just discovered that gestapo was one too...)

I've got IWD, IWD2, NWN, Black Puts, and Black Pits 2 in my game so... Enhanded Edition Nonalogy?

Wait, you've got BP2 integrated? Will you release the code like you did with BP1? Because the Nine Hells Bhaalspawn Saga has been my dream since I saw AGKanevchev's NWN over at the Russian site...

No, sorry, I meant those are all separate campaigns. BP2 is not integrated into the main BG campaign. 

(Probably would not be difficult from a technical standpoint… but my understanding is, it would have major plot conflicts.)

How about EEM (Enhanced Edition Multiverse)? This would resolve any conflicts with the add-ons for it in the future, as it covers all locations that exist in the D&D multiverse. The name could even open up opportunities to add fanfiction sections (you know, like the Marvel's Multiverse).

Not the point of EET. EET is a continuous combination of all BG EE games, nothing more. I get Roxanne vibes from the term "EEMultiverse"...

Please explain to me, why so.

Roxanne's Mod Setup Tool was also confused with EET because of all the alts pretending like Sandrah Saga + the rest is "EET". There were times hwere I posted several posts a week explaining to newbees (or Roxanne alts) that EET does not include all the mod content they were referring to.

Fortunately, I have no such experience with the modding scene here, so many words and terms do not have negative experiences for me.

I hope things get better for you so that words don't carry such negative connotations for you in the future.

I've been comfortable with it being a trilogy in the sense of BGEE-SOD-BG2EE. Sure you can still play TOB as a separate campaign but you can't buy/install it separately - for those who never knew the originals, TOB is not DLC, it's maingame content.

I support the idea of changing the name to Tetralogy (or Quadrilogy, but with the former we can retain the T of the acronym EET). There are four different campaigns, each detailing a separated and circumstantial phase of the Bhaalspawn Saga story: Baldur's Gate original, Siege of Dragonspear, Shadows of Amn, Throne of Bhaal. 

Interestingly, when I proposed this in the subreddit, I got downvoted to hell: apparently some people are very disgruntled with SoD and would brigade against it. :D
