Maybe it's just a companion app, so you can Tamagotchi the feelings of your main character.

I remember reading a while back that Beamdog were looking for new narrative designers for a cRPG in the D&D universe, but who knows really. 
Maybe Kaltern you may have the glorious privilege to preview Mizhena's gamerGate for iPhone and Personal Console

Nah, it really is a EE game, like their previous ones. But they're not adding content, I think it's similar to what they did with Icewind Dale.

I don't know if they specified in which universe the game would take place, but it's true they hired around 5 narrative designers to work for David Gaider.
Since even Dragonspear didn't have that many writers on it (total of 3, all left the company), it's safe to say they were all hired for Beamdog's own game. But we still don't know details on that one.
No writer worked on this beta project. They even asked Chris Avellone if he wanted to add something to it, and he didn't seem interested in adding more to what he wrote... previously.

Yeah, it seems the biggest focus is making the game stable (since even modded, PsT remained a bit buggy) and the new interface.
They made almost no change to the UI with BGEE, but they've been making more and more with each game. They added a floating combat text window, and a mod (already working on PSTEE) allows to resize it and move it around. You can have it at the bottom (as usual), you can stretch it to the side of your window, or stretch it to take over the whole top of the screen.
Same guy also made a mod which adds bags in PSTEE (similar to bags in BG) to let people organize their inventory a bit more. And seems there's a tiny quest linked to the largest bag.
They've made some good progress on the engine, and it's nice to see they constantly bring those changes back to the previous EE they've made. The only thing that worries me about PSTEE is the price. So far, all of their games have the same price: 20$. BGEE, BG2EE, IWDEE and Dragonspear are all 20 bucks. PSTEE is easily the new best way to play the game, and has improved mod support, but I wouldn't really pay 20$ to replay the game.
Bright side: they give deep discounts during steam sales. BGEE is 75% off righ tnow, BG2EE and IWD are 60% off. Can get them for 5 to 8$. If PSTEE releases for 20$, I'd wait for a sale and then insta-buy on sale.

Thanks, didn't know about those details. Avellone did the right thing in my opinion, PST really doesn't need any additions as it's already achieved perfection writing-wise.
Besides, just imagine what could possibly happen if that certain audience was the target of the aforementioned new additions: http://archive.is/lGJ0v  
After all that happened, I almost regret buying the two Bee GEEs on sale to be completely honest, and I'll have to resist the temptation to grab the new one, but it isn't easy dammit. My resistance will be futile when confronted to rae$h  |

No true BG fan should support their agenda-pushing.
