Baldur's Gate
Let's talk about the two games which actually put BW on the map!
Baldur's Gate I was pretty well received, but it was BG II - and perhaps most especially David Warner's impeccable performance as Jon Irenicus - that catapulted them into the forefront of PC gaming. It still makes the top ranks of "Best CRPG Ever" and even "Best Game Ever" lists.
Discuss these two games here. And heck, Icewind Dale as well!
SO GOOD. Like, THE actual CRPG classic.
I need to replay it really really badly.
Edit: Pillars of Eternity is a great spiritual successor.
Baldur's Gate
With all these new-fangled Dragon's Angels and Mad Essexes, people forget what games actually put Bioware on the map.
Let's talk about the duology that started it all. The two games that pretty much defined heroic fantasy RPGs. An adventure to remember for ages!
What are some of your fondest memories of these games? Your favorite characters? Romances? Did you play the Enhanced Editions? Or are you mad and simple haven't decided to play these epics yet?
Yeah PoE is great in so many ways!
My boy Kana Rua
Merged the threads!Double the BG love.
Actually playing PoE right now. Love it, but it's much darker than BG. Just left Gilded Vale. Playing an Aumaua barbarian and things are pretty easy so far
Depending on difficulty and what order you go do things in trout can get real, but it can vary radically.
Eder is such a huge smurfing dork it's the best, make sure you take him and Sagani out together when you pick her up.
You know what I'm reinstalling this.
...if GOG Galaxy actually wants to work, that is.
lmbo I was installing BG1 and 2 and the BWS mega-mod collection overnight literally last night
I do intend to replay BG I soon! I hope I can get the EE for II by then as well, so I can play them back to back
Anyone did the Golden Pantaloons quest?
No because I needed the dosh but I've heard amazing things xD
So are these games on PC? Because I am interested in them (and Fynn keeps telling me to play BG).
