I could see myself spending 2 hours on a train tapping 'reroll' until my str, dex and int lined up perfectly.

I got pretty lucky on my most recent go a week or so ago. Only needed like 5 rerolls before I had enough points for 18/xx Str, and 18 dex/con/int for my kensai/mage. Wisdom and char are both 9 but who needs to be wise or friendly when you can stop time and murder people with katanas

hmm... maybe. It wouldn't be overly comfortable though. I guess some would put up with it, but at that point who wouldn't rather just play a GOG version for PC?

People who don't like sitting in a chair after work. Or those who don't have time to play at home.

As a long-time TBS/PC fan, it's heresy to say it, but I am really hoping for an Ipad release. Tablets are the perfect platform to resurrect these types of games. T

There is so much 'bite-sized' games available that these longer, meatier games would clean up. From a marketing perspective it makes a lot of sense.

It's not heresy at all. As you say, genre's like this can definitely be resurrected thanks to tablets. The iPad has only helped adventure games, for example as tablets provide an opportunity for old school PC genre's to dodge the issue of limited control inputs. A successful tablet BG launch would do wonders for PC fans of the genre.

Fair enough, I guess there are people who would rather play BG on a phone than a PC. I'm not overly convinced it would be a significant number though, as I feel the detrimental aspects to the experience would outweigh the benefits, but hey, the more people playing BG the better.

Ok so an iOS release seems likely, but why WOULDN'T they also release an updated version on PC? It seems silly, the code's already there. Though I guess the GoG release kinda already takes care of that.

I like iPad gaming and can't wait to get my iPad 3 but I really really hope this isn't just an iPad port announcement. My dreams will be crushed.

Making it server side doesn't work great either if you insist on letting your server stay 2 minutes behind real-time like Valve does.

Or if the server doesnt hold up.
