I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

I played Baldur's Gate 1 and started playing 2 a few days ago. It took me some time to get used to how things work in the games (I have no experience with d&d so some things where quite hard to understand in the beginning), but I really love the games. The themes and story are great and I am really amazed at the amount of interactions that are possible and what kind things you are allowed to say. Like, you can criticize Baldurans colonialism in 1 in a random dialogue that is not really important for making progress in the game, for example. Or you can rescue the drow Viconia who is basically only prosecuted for her skin color in both games. Also class difference is a major theme in 2 and I like how it is even present in your own party. I'm also really looking forward to kill some slavers when I'm powerful enough.

Do you plan to play Baldur's Gate 3 afterward?

[-] G_Bookner@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

I don't know yet. Many people seem to like the game but I also heard that it somehow misunderstands the core themes of its predecessors. Mainly because of its depiction of religion and use of certain characters, so I was told. Have you played it and would you recommend it?

I would heartily recommend it.
