I want to see how successful this will become. It'll be interested to see if the ipad can sell PC games.

I agree with this. I can't imagine that the typical BG fan is an avid tablet gamer at all and more casual customers won't care much for the complexity and story, nor will they like the endless clicking, pausing and selecting required to perform actions in-game and not actually die all the time.

Playing BG I and II with anything but a mouse and keyboard makes me shudder, this is really not a title to be played with touch controls. Selecting through sub-menu's, leving up, equiping characters and combat in general will be a nightmare unless they make massive changes.

Yeah, with all the controls on a keyboard and a mouse, I don't see how any tablet would be able to replicate that with strokes and on-screen buttons (which can't be as easy to use as actual buttons)
