Beamdog Added 350,000 Words To Baldur's Gate 2

It's been a while since we heard anything from Beamdog's 'Enhanced' version of Baldur's Gate 2, but their bossman Trent Oster just told ShackNews: "We're hard at work on BG2:EE and it is going well... Phil (our design lead) mentioned to me there is over 350,000 words of new content." These apparently constitute extra bits across the quests and story of Shadows of Amn and the expansion, Throne of Bhaal, which will ship with the new edition.

Whether all this work will match the experience of a modded version of the original game remains to be seen, of course. I understand that the reception for the enhancement of Baldur's Gate was... mixed.
