    This is amazing I don’t play PC anymore because of carpal tunnel. Playing these with controller will be amazing. If Pillars of Eternity can do it, so can all of these classic RPGs.

    This is pretty damn cool, I loved Baldur’s Gates 1 & 2, as well as Icewind Dale, and would love to be able to play these again. Finally I will get a chance to do so. Pillars of Eternity works very well with the XB1 controller, so I imagine with a similar control scheme, these will too. I hope Icewind Dale II also gets an enhanced edition and that the first Pillars of Eternity makes its way to the Switch as well.
