Whoa, that´s quite a relief. The BG games are among my all-time favorites and I am really eager to see if this special "in-between-game", can live up to the old titles. I´ll pre-purchase as soon as the listing goes up on steam! ^_^

I'll wait for it on GOG.
Overhaul / Beamdog have been a bit hit and miss in my opinion. I like some of what they've done, and don't like other stuff.
I'll still pick this up, because, well, Baldur's Gate, but I'm not holding my breath that it's going to be remotely as good as the original content.
