If it was more like the original Baldur’s Gate and less like Mass Effect 2 I probably wouldn’t be playing it lol
But the original Baldur's Gate is soooo good!
I dinked around with BG 1 and it was clearly really good but damn the age shows and it can be tediously confusing. I didn't really know what to do and I didn't like how you start off with like 4 hp against enemies that do like 1-5 damage or whatever it is. I get that I'm supposed to wait before doing anything really valiant or whatever but it just never clicked. It was impressively deep though
The voice files were insufferable in BG1.
"SO I KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD UNTIL HE WAS DEAD! NYEHEHEHEHEHEH"
"SO I KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD UNTIL HE WAS DEAD! NYEHEHEHEHEHEH"
"SO I KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD UNTIL HE WAS DEAD! NYEHEHEHEHEHEH"
"SO I KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD UNTIL HE WAS DEAD! NYEHEHEHEHEHEH"
"SO I KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD UNTIL HE WAS DEAD! NYEHEHEHEHEHEH"
"SO I KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD UNTIL HE WAS DEAD! NYEHEHEHEHEHEH"
"SO I KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD UNTIL HE WAS DEAD! NYEHEHEHEHEHEH"
BG2 though was classic.
"Oh, Very well, hai ya!"
Facts. I don’t play video games anymore and I haven’t for at least a decade, but I bought Baldur’s Gate 3 purely for nostalgia purposes. Baldur’s Gate was the shit back in the day.
In general though I do think that the 5e system is much better suited to making an engaging video game. I really like that they’ve made it actually turn based vs having to pause every 2 seconds in combat to micromanage. Although I do constantly find myself instinctively pressing space to try to pause the game…
Glad I'm not the only one. I feel like I need to remap space because it's the skip turn button.
