Baldur's Gate 1 - Ever Deeper (music)

[lucasstuart19]

They don't make games like this anymore!

Gawd, Nashkel Mines. At the time, i was making a 'no deaths' playthrough, and had Xzar and Montaron in my party. Their HP sucked so much a single arrow took them down to near death, and then the kobolds came in groups... Good thing Khalid and Jahiera were around.

And then my party members attacked each other because i was playing goodie two shoes. *sighs*

But yeah, loved every second i played this game. Still have it installed too, i should replay it next week ^^

Best RPG-series ever. Possibly the best game series overall as well... Every new C-RPG has to stand up to Baldur's Gate, but no one has yet come close to the depth and scope of the games. Awesome to play in multiplayer with some friends as well :)

Why can't we get games of this standard anymore? I'll pay $200 to relive the Baldur's Gate experience...heck $300

@judicatordex word

[Terlin1466]

@judicatordex we need to stop waiting for this to happen and make the games our selfs. But we need investors :-)

[Destroyerru]

@judicatordex confirmation that not everything can be bought for money =)

[Agent1W]

@judicatordex I hate to think that it has to do with D&D, but it probably does. I may be a bit of a wussy if I'd rather let the computer game handle the rules instead of a RL dungeon master with pen-and-paper. I'm sorry dude, but it's just too complicated for a person to understand how combat works or interacting with NPCs. If I tell someone that they have to roll a certain number for their THAC0 based on this-and-that, he would look at me like I've lost my mind!

[bonzoshifferman]

yup, nashkel mines + dreams

[mrchuckmorris]

Omg I had so many nightmares about the nashkel mines (I was in 5th grade and played this at nighttime). I blame the creepy music and the kobold commandos shooting flaming arrows in my gut as soon as I turned the corner. I even remember giving up for at least a month and going exploring elsewhere because I thought it was just some optional dungeon. Heck, even after I beat it I thought it was optional. Shows how amazingly well this game was built.

@mrchuckmorris

I think what made it seem optional was the fact that Jaheira, Khalid, Xzar and Montaron demanded to go there, but  you were still never 'forced' to do so. Also, the way they blocked Baldur's Gate until the mines were cleared was a good one.

@mrchuckmorris

Word. The third level with the ghouls and spiders and traps scared the eight year old shit out me.

[Terlin1466]

@mrchuckmorris really? I always kinda cheated a bit and adventured off in other places so this place would be easy by the time I got to it.  The Sewers in BG is what creeped me out the most.

[mrchuckmorris]

@Terlin1466 well like I said, I was in 5th grade... it was my first RPG ever, and I had no concept of level grinding or patient preparation. :-) But yeah, those sewers were creepy... but to me, not as much as the catacombs beneath Candlekeep. Doppelgangers... yikes.

[LichKingSkullWart]

Haha, yeah I remember playing Baldurs gate 2 when I was around 5 and not having a clue what I was doing. I must have heard Irenicus say "Ah, the child of Bhaal has awoken" twenty odd times.

[HELLINMAN]

Classik dungeon sound 5*

[troublesome211]

[neurovelho]
