Hello, will the Polish language be used in games?
I’d love to get the Ultimate Enhanced Edition Collector’s Pack, but I’m assuming it’ll only be released when Neverwinter Nights is in December? That kind of sucks…
Why are all the pins and medallions gated to different collector’s editions? The “Ultimate” edition doesn’t come with them all. I really enjoy the look of them all but I’ll be damned if I’ve got $500 to buy the four variants for these (BG, IWD&Torment, NWN, & Ultimate).
Unless you release these separately, include them all in the ultimate edition, or make another bundle that has them all I went from “Giving this company $200+shipping” to “Not giving this company a dime for this shady practice”
I agree, not including the pins from the other CEs (and the medaillons) in the ultimate edition is a dumb move.
I want the medallions too. It sucks that the ‘ultimate edition’ doesnt have a single one.
You get a few extras, such as the lithographs. Its $100 less than all 3 individual collectors edition purchases, so you are not paying the same amount. It wouldn’t make sense for them to include all of the bonuses.
Are the graphics in the switch version scaled down compared to PS4? My initial reflex was to pre-order for switch but I’m worried about the graphics downsampled compared to my PS4. I’m also worried that the text and icons will be too small to play on the switch. Anyone have a link to a video with someone actually playing any of these on the switch?
Why doesn’t the “ultimate” edition include the items from each of the other editions? Weak sauce.
I think ultimate is a poor label. It seems more like a Special Edition with “Game of Choice” plus the other 2 games as it costs the same as the other editions plus the cost of 2 more games. An actual Ultimate Edition containing all unique items for $100 more might have been a better plan.
I found some information about being able to play with pc players, but what about console crossplatform ? With Sony not being a great fan of this, I find difficult to decide if I can take the switch version for me, and still being able to play with my friends on PS4… Can you confirm or not? In order for me to choose between PS4 and switch…. I wouldn’t like to have all these game and not being able to play with my friends by buying the “wrong” version…
Is there a bundle that contains -everything- everything? Don’t really care about the price, o just want all the pins, dice, etc, in an easy to order bundle!
Nah I think ur best bet is to get all three of the smaller sets
That’s what it looks like to me, only then I don’t get the beholder tray from the UR! Oy
Please include the hero cards in the ultimate set at least. I feel like I’m getting less for wanting the beholder bowl. The ultimate set should’ve included everything everything.
Why only consoles . Seems like a kick in the teeth to loyal players of nearly 20 years on PC that you only offer this to Console sprogs.
The games have been on PC for 25 years dumb ass. Go play them.

Will you be Able to use mouse and keyboard on Xbox one?
The stand alone sets come out in Oct but I saw online that it is Sept. So…….I ordered the Baldur’s Gate Collector Edition here. When will those be shipped? After stores get the standard? I hope not. We should get code then ahead of time.
I preordered, then they released al of the other sets, I emailed them to see if I could upgrade my order, I never received a reply, that was a month and a half ago. ?
Yeah, this developer/publisher seems like an absolute DISASTER. I’m finding about 4 different release dates for the same games on the internet. Thought I might be able to come straight to their website and get some actual good information. Looks like that was a mistake. Don’t they know people actually schedule work holidays and vacations around game releases???

October15,2019 came and haven’t received my Baldur gate enhance edition as advertised…get email shipped Friday..oct.11,2019..definitely won’t get to me on oct.15,2019..thanks a lot..still waiting..rather wait till I know the game is out…
One of my favorite features of the original was coop play. This seems to be not a thing? I can’t change from single player mode. Is this right or am I doing something wrong?
Do an ultimate collection for PC, I will be the first to buy it.
When will the ultimate bundle ship. I ordered s copy in August and was wondering when it would ship?
I’d like to know the same thing please. At this point, “December 2019” is a bit too vague
I preordered on Game, and they are now saying it will be out Jan 2020… Why the delay? Why isn’t there any update from the companies involved as to why they have now pushed it back for a SECOND time? I would at least like SOME news as to what’s going on
So, the site says shipping 12/17, but I haven’t received a confirmation yet that it shipped, AND I paid $26 for the 2 day shipping. Any updates??
We’re shipping now. Hang tight, tracking numbers coming.
Have tracking numbers gone out yet?
I have gotten no notification about my orders.
Thanks
I’d like a followup to tracking numbers as well. Said they were shipping the 17th. I paid the 2 day priority shipping. I should have had it before Christmas, but nothing. I get maybe it was a lot, but it’s been a week.
By Shipping now you mean…. When
Is the Ultimate available for general purchase, or was/is it limited to pre-order only? I’m looking all over, and I can’t find an answer.
it was prepaid only
When are these actually going to ship? I’ve seen some people post their ultimate collections online, but it’s so few I wonder if it is staged.
I haven’t received mine or tracking
Funny I commented yesterday and a box showed up this morning. Weird that I never got a tracking number. Also, I got 1 box with all the swag but no games…. Are they in a second box?
Why have u not got my set I ordered and who do I get a hold of to get this resolved ?
FWIW, I received two rather enormous packages from Skybound today (Saturday, Dec. 28th), and they contained the two Ultimate Collector’s Editions I ordered (one for Switch, one for PS4). The games appear to just be the regular retail packaging versions (3x game cases for Switch, 3x game cases for PS4), containing, respectively, BG1 and BG2 in the first, IWD1 and Planescape in the second, and NWN in the third). The game cases contain Switch cartridges and PS4 BDs, as expected. The cases are attached to separate cardboard sheets with indentations/cutouts and are NOT enclosed in the Ultimate Collector’s Editions “chests” which contains all of the extra goodies. In hindsight, I probably should have just ordered one UCE and one regular CE or something. Oh well. Everything arrived well-packaged and perfectly intact. My order status page still says UNFULFILLED and at no point did I ever received a shipping notification. The lack of communication is disappointing (especially since I couldn’t even find a definitive release date when I last checked the product page). But ultimately, I can’t complain, because everything arrived in great shape. I hope this answers some of the questions people have posted here.
