Talk:Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

message: So it appears that there are reliable sources claiming different release dates.
We are claiming September 24, which is also what appears at CNET, however both Amazon (the site that we cite the release date from) and IGN claim that it was released on September 22nd. What to do? Sven Manguard Wha? 23:43, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Gamespot and Metacritic both say Sept. 24. Gamespy says Sept. 22. I'd tend to trust Gamespot's date, as they were one of the few video game site around back then. Also, there is another listing for BG2 at Amazon here that says Sept 26, which makes me doubt their reliability. —<B>Tourchiest</B> talkedits 04:25, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

text: This matter is far more complicated, and I will work on it again. I believe that GameSpot could in fact be wrong, and that IGN is nearer to the mark. I have a source somewhere on my computer that says they (the developers, publishers) were happy to release before the weekend, or wanted to release then, or something along those lines. Now, September 24 was actually Sunday if I am not mistaken. I have always thought that September 24 is just the "conventional wisdom" release date (probably first propagated by GameSpot) but isn't strictly correct. GeoffreyA (talk) 09:33, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, thank you! I only saw the interview today, and it's really going to be a great aid to the development section. Much appreciated. GeoffreyA (talk) 12:12, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source 

message: He was the voice of Jon Irenicus.  It's very strange to me, the article praised the voice acting in this game, but his name is never mentioned?  139.138.6.121 (talk) 07:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have a citation for that? 98.32.192.121 (talk) 13:40, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of you people can be absolutely insufferable.  The David_Warner_(actor) ref. is right here in David Warner's article, on Wikipedia.  If you need more hand-holding, you can crack open the game's manual, or check IMDB. 139.138.6.121 (talk) 00:11, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Why do you think other people should do the work of providing sources for you? 2601:249:8B80:4050:1C1F:AFFA:964D:46A3 (talk) 00:38, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Providing sources *for ME*?  I'm not the one that asked for source -- but I provided several anyway. 139.138.6.121 (talk) 01:05, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

text: Good point. I haven't edited the article in a long time, but if I get a chance, I'll try to mention him in the Reception section perhaps. RPGamer will be the source because I remember his praise of Warner, that he was the best of the voice actors. Which, indeed, he was. GeoffreyA (talk) 20:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

message: The info box reckoned the platforms include Linux, but the game's website only mentions Windows and (classic) MacOS. Being runnable under WINE doesn't count, does it?
The Enhanced Edition has a Linux (and Android and iOS and..) version. Lovingboth (talk) 15:27, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like it was added in 2015 by an infrequent editor with no source or further info. I didn't find anything at a glance that didn't mention Wine. -- ferret (talk) 16:38, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
