  • They will never make a game as good as Baldur's Gate.

  • Awsome game to play, much better then the first one. I cant wait to play Multiplayer!!

  • This still remains the best western RPG I've ever played. This is mostly due to the fans though, and the fact that they mod the shit out of it.

  • the sorry thing is that now people think that TES games are good RPG...

  • diablo 1&2 vs Baldur's Gate 1&2. which one is better ?

  • I remember playing this when I was 8 years old... good times, even though I didn't know what I was doing half the time.

  • Best game ever! I loved it! One of the best times of my life!

  • neverwinter nights diamond neverwinter nights 2 platnuim are epic

  • does this play like gauntlet i ave baldurs gate on ps2

  • @nibelung34343 What you have is Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, a hack and slash game made for console gamers, not the deep rich RPG that is Baldur's Gate! The fact you are asking here and not just using Google shows Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, for PC, wouldn't be for you.

  • @nibelung34343 Baldurs gate 2 for the pc is the best game in the world, it takes a lot of strategy, and more story, and fun. A lot longer too, it's worth the buy.

  • If no one have play this game for me, havent realize what the rpg means ....

    BEST GAME EVER

  • omg how i can play in this

    grapics looks so horroble

  • @romannk Clearly the comment of a mouth breathing "new gamer" whose gaming choices hinge on instant gratification, spoon-fed game play, and "OMG PRETTY THINGS!"

    The gaming world extends beyond your new-age "movie games" that tell you what button to hit, and when. Having to think when you play a game is actually pretty fun, you know.

  • @dhump7945 Thb I think BGII graphics look good. I mean it's in 2d so it's pretty timeless. Not like FFVII or something(which I still played through despite it's horrible graphics).

  • @dhump7945

    So true. Most new games spoon-feed you to the point of being nauseating. I *mostly* stick to older games for just that reason.

  • Honestly, the only game that beats BG 1&2 in story is Planescape: Torment. But the combat and pretty much everything else is much better.

  • This game was SO good. I spent like months playing it and discussing the game with mates. Such an unbelievably amazing experience. It is up there with my experience with the Zelda games on the 64.

  • The trailer before the legend

  • The trailer didnt do the game justice. Then again, I dont think it would be possible for a trailer to do this AWESOME game justice.

  • I wish i could experience this game as if for the first time, every time. It remains as one of the best RPG's ever made, and my personal favourite.

  • dawwww they look so cute~

  • i played this Game 10 times every year one time !!!! i love this game so much !!!!

  • ^coollllllllllllll

    

  • Viconia, I miss you...epic game!

  • So in this game you control only 1 character or have entire chess board to play with ? :D

  • @Ged1s You had your main character, but you controlled a max party of 6 with the use of a pause option. You selected your party and moved your members kind of like a RTS game.

  • Comment removed

  • Baldur's Gate 2 is the best game EVER!!!

  • @MsSiva97 Thats probably true.

  • Comment removed

  • what do you prefer...baldur's gate or icewind dale?

  • @fgfeege

    Hard to say....

    Icewind Dale 1 or 2?

    I prefer the character developement and non combat skills (diplomacy etc.) from IWD2 over the system in BG2, but over all I think BG2 is better.

    BG2 > IWD 2 > BG1 > IWD1

  • these games are real games the new games are just so boring most of them

  • Why are all the fans of this game stubborn? Yeah it's a good game, and probably was the best, in it's time, but time moves on, people die because they get old useless and crap, just like this game, i still play it and all, but i prefer Dragon Age and Oblivion, and new games and yes i was alive when this was released :P

  • @UvexGames

    Alive perhaps - yet, cool grahpics and overwhelming sounds aren't really what makes a good game. Dragon Age and the likes are cool (hell, i LOVE Mass Effect myself and hopefully soon will get ME 2 too) - but don't try to put down the past. Because this "old useless crap" is what paved the way for what is out today, just like Dragon Age will be old one day. It's the flair and the depth of a RPG game that will make people remember it /ALL HAIL DRAKENSANG ! DSA 4 EVER :D)

  • @UvexGames barely...  your a fetus

  • @UvexGames its your opinion many ppl as i think that Bg2 is best rpg game ever even now.... i like more new games that this old ones but there are game genres in wchich for me new games are worse that classic one ..they complicate game and add new elements but somentimes this changes not make game more playable . For many ppl most important think in Rpg are story and climate and bg2 have epic 300hours of fantastic story . its bigger and logner then dragon age and for me much more playable

  • @UvexGames and im not old wistful faggot which think that in old times everythink was much better ... the game that i love the most was red alert1 but i know that it is so simple and primtive that i cant compare it to new strategys but wiht bG2 is quite different ... i dont find in dragon age elements wchich make it better then bg2

  • @UvexGames Because this game is STILL the best RPG ever, and still has a huge modding community. I love Dragon Age, but it gets old a lot quicker than BG2 does. And Oblivion... sure it's got the whole freedom thing, but in terms of story and character interaction it's just plain dull.

  • @Gathgazar Dragon Age is extremely tedious, I absolutely loathe the combat system and for me that really broke the game. I just can't bring myself to continue to playing. Baldur's Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights 1 (and even older, Eye of the Beholder 2) stand high and mighty.

  • Baldurs gate+LOTR atmosphere+new graphics=Dragon Age

  • @Mrtvababa Baldur's Gate+console+multiformat-explo­ration+linear quests = Dragon Age

  • @HardWarUK geek

  • @Mrtvababa Yes but an experienced PC geek that knows real cRPG's when he sees one. One thing all cRPG's have, from Daggerfall to Fallout 3 from The Ultima's to the Wizardry's from The Master of Magic's to to the early Interplay cRPG's like Icewind Dale's and Neverwinter Nights' and Nox - and yes the Baldur's Gate's - was exploration. Dragon Age is the first and only so-called RPG that has no exploration and enforced fast travel across the game map.

  • @HardWarUK While that is true, Dragon Age was still a fantastic game. The lack of exploration did bother me, but I got over it eventually.

  • @hobbit2245 It was a good game, but it was not a great game like the one's I mentioned, because without exploration how can you put 100's of hours into it and come back to it time and time again? I have about 60 hours and i've done it. played it. Know it. Just like 40 hours into a corridor shooter. It's a great linear story, with great characters. Would be nice if we could get a cRPG with the story and characters of a DA:O with the exploration of an Elder Scrolls title! Currently we get half!

  • @HardWarUK I'd argue that Morrowind's characters and story were pretty good, but you're right, we still need some kind of mix between the two. I've put 60 hours into Dragon Age as well, but I never actually finished it. My hard-drive crashed and I lost everything. I guess the good thing is I have no trouble replaying it. If I had beaten it though, you're right, I'd never touch it again.

  • @HardWarUK you forgot Ultima.Ye it dosnt have it but the game tps when u have 2 go back somewhere in the cutscene.

  • - great story

    - great gameplay

    - varied, interesting and likeable characters

    - hours and hours of wonderful quests and environments to explore

    - amazing music

    ...probably one of the finest games I've played in my lifetime, and will continue to be.

  • I'm too yound to have experienced Baldur's Gate but I hear so many good things about it. Sucks to have missed out I suppose, but can anyone tell me if it would still be worth playing for the first time now?

    And personally I loved Dragon Age it's one of the best games I've ever played though I haven't played enough RPG's to offer any real comparison. I understand that they simply don't make RPG's in the sense that they used to?

  • @pleasuremuffin

    Dragon age is one of the best RPG, laong with the Baldur's gate.

  • Best game EVER made.

  • Closest thing to iii is dragon age origins..

  • @Pronchi dragon age sucks balls

  • I wish they made a baulders gate 3

  • the nostalgia makes me tear up

  • je to nějlepši RPG co kdy bylo vytvořeno nic žádna hra toto RPG nepřekoná nikdy !!!

  • best rpg by bioware. i miss this time

  • @enialis77210 Bioware should make Baldur's Gate3 using same graphic engine!!! (dont try 3D plz)

  • @enialis77210 Dude please don't label these old games "bioware" bioware own them, they did not CREATE them

  • @lostsanityreturned

    actually, Bioware created those games (including the famous infinity game engine) but does not own them~~

  • @jarodpaulsun No not really, Blackisle created them... Blackisle had a very tiny group of people go to bioware but the majority are Obsidian staff.

    Bioware didn't EXIST back then, oh and get your facts straight bioware as a company own all intellectual rights to the old black isle games.

  • @lostsanityreturned

    I mean only balur's gate series, I know other old games (like fallout series/icewind dale/Planescape: Torment) are created by Blackisle. but balur's gate is bioware's original work, you can go to google balurs gate and bg2 's credits, they are all bioware's fellow staff

  • i agree, better than playing with these g.i. joes

  • For GOD'S SAKE! Ignore him -he's 13!

  • such a great game, chills down my spine watching this ^^

  • i think dragon age origins is gonna be better than baldurs gate 1 or 2!

  • NOT...

  • dragon age is worse than BG's

  • @enderfild

    interesting

    can you explain why?

    i was considering to get dragon age

  • Because it takes just as much time to play through Dragon Age as it would take to get to the end of Chapter 3 in Baldur's Gate 2. Don't get me wrong. Dragon Age is ok but it just cannot compete with Baldur's Gate 2. And the main differance would be that Baldur's Gate 2 is much larger in scope. If it suits your tastes you can download user mods from an aincent modding community that stills is active! If you order now you might get Thone of Bhaal absolutely free!!!½111!!

  • @TerrestialSatelite Nothing can compete with Baldrus Gate 1 and/or 2.

    My top RPGs till date would be be 1. Baldurs Gate 1&2; 2. The Witcher; 3. Dragon Age: Origins(it was good, but it didnt feel as epic as BGs), but main reason why we keep worshipping BGs is actually the nostaglic feeling we get when we play em and new games cant give us nostagy...caus their new so yeah, its an unfair fight lol.

  • @DeatgMagnet i just bought all the baldurs gate games off amazon and i must ask you some questions

    1 are there any romances?

    2 i hear it takes place in the forgotten realms so mite i see and hear refrences from the legend of drizzt?

    3 how long are the games? (long i hope)

    and 4 should i expect more or less strategy than origins?

    i know lol i must sound stupid (and please no spoilers)

  • @Handavin320 If i remember right then no romances in BG 1, but in BG 2 there are several romanceable party members(both female and male), you encounter drizzt in BG 1 i havent seen him in BG 2 but im quite sure i just havent found him(he isnt part of the main story in BGs, but u can stumble upon his party) and BG is a lot harder than Dragon: Age Origins. It is classic D&D like RPG. The starting of Baldurs Gate might be easy(if ur used to D&D like games), but it gets alot harder.Hope you enjoy em

  • @Handavin320 Oh, and also, Baldurs Gate 1 was not very long, but long enough to keep you entertained and at some points it is very hard so it certainly will take a lot of time. There also is way more party members avaible than in DA: O and races and classes which all should keep u busy and raise teh replay value. Also the map is huge so do explore around in random places. The DA: O world is a lot smaller than Baldurs Gate world. I hope i was any help. Enjoy the classics ;)

  • @DeatgMagnet ya thanks man you were alot of help i cant wait to play them i enjoy pen and paper dnd but i dont get to play it as much as id like thanks for the helpful info :)

  • @IsilionNELE

    Cuz storyline is really better

    more dialogues , and i am dan of the 2d rpgs :)

    like interactive book. DA = 90% fight and the NPC in DA are hmmm ... plastic , yea some of them have their own past but this is not deep like in BG ;) ... but this is my own opinion :) i like DA too :)

  • @enderfild You know what. You're right. In DA you got WAAAAY more voice-overs than in DA, BG is mostly raw text. However, for me , each and every quest in BG2 made sense. I REALLY wanted to EXPERIENCE the outcome. Quest in DA are so mmorpgish... Fight is mmorpgish too... After getting certain spells fight is easy-peasy and always look the same.

  • @enderfild of course it is they focused to much on the wrong things

  • @enderfild all I remember is killing masses of dark spawn over and over again the graphics where really pretty though and I like how you had the option to kill the humans that were intruding in your wood at the beginning of the game if you picked elf

  • @enderfild but yeah baldurs gate is way better, to bad baldurs gate isn't actually a good novel in the forgotten realms series not sure about this icewind dale novels I think making a bg3 would be kind of pointless seeing as how your tale ended and it had split alternatives whether to be a god or just to end it and be mortal and finish a romance with one of your characters.

  • @igotthatsnowmayn

    i know that making bg3 is pointless but now the king is 3d graphics which breaks a True RPG climate isn't the isometic better ? damn why all things are focused on graphics not story ... always when i have computer magazine i can see "NEW INNOVATED GRAPHIC ENGINE". damn i want to play a game with story, great story like BG. i don't know maybe i am getting older but it is very annoying. i used my mind to play baldurs gate, i had imaged all of battles. :) :) :) ;)

  • @enderfild there is a indie company that makes rpgs called echalon book series its similar to bg you should buy there cheap games to support them they are actually quite good story's filled with what your talking about and secrets with bonus stuff at the end like killing all the knights and posting your finish on their website forums

  • @igotthatsnowmayn

    ooow i will try :D thanks for it :D

  • @enderfild No problemo. Just throwing it out. I think they have a demo you can try first.

  • @enderfild It's impossible to top perfection.

  • The greatest, most epic game I've ever experienced.  Long life half-elf chaotic neutral conjurers!

  • Long live lawful good human paladins!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Baulder's Gate 2, long live the KING of RPG's

  • planescape torment and this are the best games ever.

  • In the last few seconds, the music sounds like Daggerfall! Maybe a tribute?

  • *sigh*

    Fucking lolling at the new faggots new to gaming with their halo and cod4 deeming relatively old school games as crap because of graphics.

    Either continue playing your new gen games and accept old gen games, or shut the fuck up you little faggots.

  • @voltron6434

    For starters, rid those awful stereotypes out of your pre-pubescent mind.

    1. I have a job, I pay my rent and I live in an apartment.

    2. I am not 36.

    3. I have not even touched Warcraft or World of Warcraft for about 2 years now.

    Statistically speaking, it is your type is in almost all cases, the most annoying to fucking deal with any multiplayer or co-op game.

    Keep playing your new gen generic games, also, make a guild or group so we can we can segregate ourselves from you.

  • @voltron6434

    1. All you proved is that your skills in deduction are that of a toddler.

    2. I am not trying to impress anyone, just trying to get morons like you to shut the fuck up.

    3. Remarkably, during my education, I was only put into about 3 or so serious fights, all which began by me, and all which resulted in nor winning or losing.

    4. During school, I rarely played games.

    5. My fault here, I didn't know 13 year old boys like starting arguments about games he doesn't play on YouTube.

  • ahahaha this fuking retard of a kid says he doesnt play games yet when u go on his channel his favourited a game and has also commented on other games about his conection problems. What a stupid person

  • You moron, how daft can you get?

  • Thank you.

  • @zafer200 they dont have a fucking clue do they LOL

  • @zafer200

    Dude. Shut up. This game probably was your favourite in the day, I guess. Maybe you enjoyed it. Comparing it to the games of today, it blows. It's crappy and stupid. And if someone critizizes the game, you shouldn't badmouth the good games, that only makes you look like an arse.

    Call of Duty is the most played game in the world - For a reason, it's obviously the best. But why do you compare a fucking FPS to and RPG? Could atleast have compared it to Fallout 3. Moron.

  • @13Alex37 what a fucking retard. just because lots of people play a certain game doesn't mean its the best. a lot of people can view a video, but if 99 percent of them give it a bad rating, does that make it the best video on youtube? just because a lot of people play the game doesn't mean they would all give it more than 7/10. stay in school and keep your mouth shut dumb ass. quit embarrassing yourself.

  • @Xytos I never said CoD was the best. It's "obviously" the best, because everyone plays it. But in the FPS - CoD IS the best game at the moment.

    I myself prefer Fable over WoW. Even though WoW is an RPG game with ten million players, and Fable with probably a quarter million. It's about tastes, yes. But when someone badmouthes people for not liking an 30 year old game with poor graphics and gameplay - It's just pathetic, and stupid.

  • @13Alex37

    You are obviously a jerk who has never played a real RPG (Fallout 3 - don't make me laugh) and jumps at any hype train at any chance.

    And by the way: CoD is the most played FPS because it's pretty easy to get into it and the marketing for was huuuuge (i mean which game gets tv adds in europe these days?).

    It's a little bit like the WoW of FPS.

    Nothing more to say here...

  • @13x1x20 you're a fucking noob. i have many of bioware's titles including jade empire, swkotor, baldur's gate 2, and dragon age. i've beaten these games several times. in most of these games, you dont really levle that much and you dont have much item variety. their randomization SUCKS COCK. even diablo 1 has more complexity than most of these games, dont get me started on diablo 2. and you wonna talk about WoW?? its the most popular mmorpg for a reason you fucking idiot.

  • @Xytos

    So... item variety/leveling/randomization make a complex RPG?

    And many players make a good game?

    Haha... just wow....You don't know much about RPGs and their origin do you?

    I'm sorry Sir, but you're either an idiot, a troll or a Blizzard fanboy.

    No Blizzard game can or will ever come up to the complexity of a D&D-adaption.

    And if you can't see that, sorry but then you're just plain stupid.

    No need to go into this any further...

  • @13x1x20 "So... item variety/leveling/randomization make a complex RPG?" really? are you that retarded that you need me to answer tha question for you?? you do realize that most bioware games have incredibly short storylines right? how many d2 players are there still? probably easily over 100-200k per realm. how many still play baldurs gate 2 or even dragonage for that matter. this isn't even mentioning d2 and d1 at it's PEAK. jesus christ use your brain you idiot.

  • @Xytos

    And by the way... do you want to know why WoW is so popular?

    Because any idiot can play it without any bigger effort (read: thinking)

    And you jerk want to talk about complexity in RPGs?

    Get your head out of your ass and gather your wits you wimp!

  • @13x1x20 blizzard had no experience in the mmorpg realm, but when they made their debut for wow, it completely changed how mmorpg games were made. EVEN BIOWARE developers play WOW and they adopted their battle system for dragonage STRAIGHT from WoW. it doesn't stop there, they adopted the tech tree system from d2. so why is it so popular? because blizzard is innovative and brilliant. of course you're fucking ignorant mother fucker so i have to teach numb skulls like you.

  • @Xytos

    "how many d2 players are there still? probably easily over 100-200k per realm."

    "EVEN BIOWARE developers play WOW and they adopted their battle system for dragonage STRAIGHT from WoW."

    "blizzard is innovative and brilliant."

    Normal Person::::::::::::::::::::::::­::::::::||:::Troll *beepbeepbeep*

    Blimey!

  • @13x1x20 what a fucking idiot. nothing left to say cause u're too stupid? go fuck yourself. bioware copied the item randomization system found in diablo 1 in baldur's gate 2 and dragon age. they copied the colorization system and prefix/suffice system BUT THEY DONT COME CLOSE to the vast amount of items in diablo. they even copied crafting/socketing/gems/ect ect straight from diablo. even the tech tree/level req for skills came straight from diablo they stole and put in dragon age. ur an idiot.

  • @Xytos

    I don't really know if it was funnier if you were serious.

    Actually I DO fear that there are people out there who are THAT stupid.

  • @13x1x20 i gave you some irrefutable evidence that bioware steals innovative ideas straight from blizzard and all you can do is that? there's reason why blizzard games are world class and bioware games aren't nearly as popular. even a 5 year old knows that, but you still dont seem to get it. lick my balls dumb ass. and learn how to speak english correctly, dumb australians.

  • @Xytos

    Holy shit. Just for the case you really are serious:

    Blizzards games are so popular because they are well made and anyone can hop in anytime without any bigger effort.

    But that doesn't make them good/complex RPGs or RTS'.

    Actually Diablo is a horrible RPG. It's like playing a P&P RPG without narrator only with your (very simple) character sheet.

  • @13x1x20 no you're WRONG, blizzard's philosophy is "easy to learn, hard to master". you're obviously an idiot. here's the fact, there are many times more people who play the diablo series than there are people who play the baldur's gate series. those people including me dont give a shit what an idiot like you thinks. you dont even understand blizzard games you dumb fuck. go back to school and learn how to speak english please...

  • @Xytos You know what you practatlly said was Old games suck New games are the beast Because they have Better Graphics and Gameplay thats easy to understand so I can be the best. Hell I am still on Baldurs gate 2.... AFTER 11 YEARS!

  • @Xytos

    And now you have classic RPGs which fill a certain niche on the market.

    Some of those are pretty complex which doesn't appeal to everyone.

    The reason for this should be pretty obvious

    And now there are guys like you:

    "Huuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrr ai wunda why more complex gaims are not that popular. I bet dey ar worse!"

  • @13x1x20 yeah learn how to speak english correctly you dumb aussie. you guys must have a fucking retarded education system over there, that's probably why you can't reason when irrefutable evidence is presented right in front of your face. you people are utterly useless. lick my balls bitch.

  • @Xytos

    Have i already mentioned that my mother tongue is german?

    I think I haven't. You know why?

    Because it has nothing to do with the whole "discussion".

    Now troll harder!

  • @Xytos

    hurr durr *mesh keyboard until words resembling english spill onto the screen and then have the nerve to criticize someone who doesn't type like a retard for not being able to 'speak' english*

    fuck off.

  • @FatalXGrinn another dumb aussie? you people are completely useless. whens the last time you people did anything meaningful? for heaven's sake you people can't even speak english coherently. lick my balls idiot.

  • @zafer200 this game does suck i remember playing it when it was popular. terrible control, terrible game play, terrible graphics, full of bugs, story line was decent. bioware likes to overhype their games even when its still in development. seriously, they need to take a chapter from blizzard and make games that are actually playable. none of their games have deep integrity.

  • @Xytos

    Blizzard never made any complex games appart from WoW and even that one is pretty tame for a MMORPG, if you look at games like Ultima Online or EVE.

    You can't compare Baldurs Gate or any D&D adaption to any Blizzard game.

    "terrible control, terrible game play, terrible graphics, full of bugs"

    I didn't even have one of those problems with Baldurs Gate in 2000 (maybe graphics but actually the backgrounds are pretty nice).

    Carry your rage elsewhere Mister...

  • @zafer200 You tell 'em girl! personally though I like 'newer' games like diablo 2 better ^^

  • @zafer200

    Yeah, besides BGII looked beautiful with its hand-painted scenery. Many 3d games aren't particulary impressive in terms of graphics. RPG gained almost nothing from 3d, and RTS gained absolutely nothing.

  • Graphics dont mean anything when you produce one of the best games.. ever. So fuck off Halo fanboy.

  • And The Beatles sound like they recorded their music 20 years ago.

  • @rusH1023

    Say what? What are you implying?

  • If you can't figure it out, I'm not going to bother explaining.

  • one of the best games ive played in a long timebeat this and workng through ToB story could be longer tho

  • they decided not to make BG3 because they started the second part of champions of norrath

  • u guys know that theres is no BG 3 but there is dragonage and its way better

  • Best RPG ever? Best game ever. I wish the BG3 rumors are based on truth.

  • BG3 is suppose to be "dragon age" as i understand it.. another style but the game works the same way... all action made in the game will make you either evil or bad while following a tiny path just like bg1 and 2.. you still have a team,still dialogs made by choices etc etc.. i guess they just wanted to put alot more effort into the graphics in this "dragon age".. love it or hate it..

  • *evil or good*....

  • @yintyi there won't be BG3. soz

  • no way, this game bets the shit out of ALL rpgs!!

  • This game is OLD compared to those. BG2 was great in its day. Try comparing the three games you mentioned to Dragon Age--it's about as fair.

    Dragon Age is going to blow all previous RPGs away. It's huge like an ES game, but with much more complex characters and darker quests than even BG2 had. It's made by Bioware also, but the industry and the technology have changed drastically since the days of BG2. Search for the "Writing an Epic" trailer. They're turning all the old cliches upside down.

  • @WynneL DA is as cliche as it can get :)

  • @kanthPL

    because elf living as slave is cliché for you? And do you know many fantasy setting wher the primary religion is monotheist? Seriously, DA is really original and is as good as BG

  • @libreqc  slave elfs were done before in the Witcher , soz man :( + DA is full of wonderful mmorpgish boring as fuck missions.

  • @kanthPL

    mmorpgish mission are : kill 10 wolf and things like this ( and there is quest of this type). For the lve, well ok they did it in one othe game. You should replay the game and see that it is the spiritual successor of Baldur gate( the npc, the dialogue and the story are great). but that my opinion, feel free to have your own lol (btw sorry if my english suck)

  • @kanthPL DA is full of wonderful quests. Ive played some mmorpgs too and saying that DA is full of shit like in mmos is just so very wrong.

  • @DeatgMagnet DA fight system and interface even look mmorpgish so its no shame to admit that many quests are too. Anyway, quests are linear , no twists , no suspense , no possibilities (oh wait : we got 'world is many shades of gray , not black n white' type of quest with werewolves and elfs straight from the witcher world). Nah I miss bg and fallout quests where you didnt really know what to do...

  • @kanthPL rofl, da interface is nothing like mmorpgish. have you ever played mmorpgs ???

  • @DeatgMagnet yeah and it's totally mmorpgish. There are no abilities you can use once per day or in special occasions or whateverz. ALL have cooldown, all need mana, all are in quickslots are like in WoW , GW , Rappelz, MUonline etc... There are no day n nite cycles. There is this fucking aggro conecept and tank concept (hence many tanks skills which focus attack on thyself) = ripped off totally from modern mmoprgs .

  • Wow, ImRealAmerican, did you ever play this game? Are you just judging by the trailer? And are you REALLY going to be so ignorant as to say this game isn't a *real* RPG? Baldur's Gate was one of the closest adaptations to D&D rules and gameplay in a video game that has ever been made. It won "Game of the Year" for cryin out loud. It pretty much set the bar and the new standard for all RPGs to come after it, *including* Neverwinter Nights (which you can import your BG character stats into!).

  • Today gamers have been dumbed down about RPG's by games like Jade Empire, Mass Effect and Borderlands. It seems if a game has just 5% roleplaying in it, you can call it an 'RPG-something'. People call Fallout 3 and RPG-Shooter just because it uses guns. They never called Oblivion an 'RPG-Sworder' though, did they? The GiantBomb gaming site called Dragon Age an 'action-roleplaying game' I asked them what a game has to do nowadays to be a plain ol' RPG?! To me a real RPG has a minimum of 6 stats.

  • Just quit complaining about how it's called -.- play what you like...

  • @HardWarUK They didn't call it an RPG Sworder because there are bows and magic and... stuff, so they called it RPG Bow Magic Sworder Fantasy Stuff game :P

  • this is the best for me. I've played so many but I'm in love with this game.

  • It's the best story I've ever found in an rpg

  • go for the eyes boo!

  • playing it now :) fighter class all the way, kill thief clan boss =)

  • do i need to play the first baldurs gate before this?..

  • No, not really. Bg1 is not refined enough and it could prevent you from playing it. But if you wanna see the hole story you should download Baldur's Gate1 and 2 with the Tutu mode. It's some trouble but it's totally worth it. Anyways gotta say to you I've finished BG2 7 times and played dozens of other rpgs Dun wanna get emotional bout this game again, so I'm just gonna tell you, it's the best there is, in any aspect.
