my body is beyond ready

What ones in particular are most excited to play by the way? I am curious to know what people are salivating over.

Still can't wait for them to get Dark Sun. If they ever release the two in the series, I would definitely buy them as the second game is really hard to get working on modern computers properly. There are tons of sound issues, graphical issues and bugs galore in trying to get them to run on modern PCs. Plus, getting the characters to import is a challenge.

Let's hope they figure those out and get those released! I will pay for a second copy just to help with the hassle.

Mostly excited about the ones I've never played - EotB II & III, almost everything included in Collection Two, and Menzoberanzan.

I have the first Dark Sun on CD-ROM but still haven't played the second.

The second is not nearly as good as the first, only because of the huge amount of gamebreaking bugs. You can really mess up the game in big ways, almost requiring you to look up a guide just to avoid making the game unbeatable. I still love it and it is still a lot of fun, but the bugs almost kill it for me.

As for the stuff in Collection 2, a lot of the games let you carry over your characters. Hillsfar is the most surprising of the collection as it is filled with mini-games and activities. It is an odd duck in the series, but for me stands out as a lot of fun.

How is Menzoberanzan? I've heard very mixed things from looking online (I'm not interested in Dungeon Hack).

It is very akin to the Eye of the Beholder games and uses the same game engine as Ravenloft. It is primarily a dungeon crawler with some fun story elements. I have not beaten the game, but it is definitely an enjoyable game set in a now iconic world.

So what's the official order again for the second collection? Asking this since there's character crossover (did not know this).

Pool of Radiance is #1 IIRC...

Pool, Azure Bonds, Silver Blades, Pool of Darkness.

[BogusMeatFactory]

also you can import your character from pool of radiance or azure bonds into Hillsfar.

But that's a one way import as I recall. Hillsfar doesn't export to anything.

That is true!
