Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition for Linux seems like it will never happen, but it is still on the table and hopefully after the next patch.
The game is a remake of the original Baldur's Gate that was released in 1998. It isn't just a plain remake as it does add in new features, characters and locations and should satisfy the RPG hunger of many Linux gamers.
The Enhanced Edition was released near the end of 2012 with an announcement that it would come to Linux soon after, so we have been waiting ~1.5years so far, but the wait could be over this year. The wait should be worth it too as it is well reviewed and by the time it comes to Linux it should be well polished up.

Not exactly a solid time-frame, but it is better than the silence we have had on it recently.

@JasenC good question. We pushed it behind the major bug fixes of the 1.3 patch. We're trying much harder to ensure quality releases.

I doubt it's coming out anytime soon, they been mentioning Linux support for 2 years now I think? And despite putting this game on an updated infinity engine, they're more buggy than the original games.
Anyway, I rather GoG work on wine ports for the BG games. At least my favorite mods will be compatible with those ports.

Quoting: hummer010The windows version is entirely DRM free. If you purchase it from BeamDog, you need to use the DeamDog client to download the game. The game itself is DRM free to run after that, but you still need the client for updates.
Is it still? Someone told me that stopped offering a direct purchase. Also, using some extra client's isn't the best idea as well.
