They're good games, but not worth torturing yourself over. They haven't aged very well at all. I would love an HD re-release. Give them a better overhaul than Baldur's Gate Enhanced and I would be 100% behind it. As it stands, I'm glad I own them, but I haven't beaten either of them, so I technically wasted my money. I don't regret it, but I wouldn't jump to encourage anyone to follow suite
They're not supposed to be rookie friendly. Usually you either learn fast or you get smurfed in the desert by raiders and super mutants. The hardcoreness of that is what makes the Fallout series by Interplay so damn awesome.
