How would that happen? SS2 (1999) uses the Thief "Dark" engine.

Kexx can replace that? I had no idea it was that flexible.

That said, with the improved Dark engine that I have on my drive (with
bloom and widescreen support) and all the texture packs, I think I'll
pass. I know from the trailer that the nurses in the remaster look worse
than a modded original install with the high res fan patch (shtup).

Especially if they go with Kexx.
