@Tranquilance Doesnt need improved graphics!

[Tranquilance]

If BioWare remade Baldur's Gate with very minor changes such as improved graphics and stuff like that, I would honestly buy it.

@HandyMan101 personally I always take the advantage to use my imagination to make the game suit my needs, my imagination is my own, aint nothin that says I can't imagine things in the game suit me. Basically I am just saying, modern games are not bad. Really I think the difference is that with the Infinity Engine, there was little enough information that people filled in the blanks themselves, making their own world, but now the developers can take you to THEIR world, so they do.

@HandyMan101 Well to point out a few things, using a already availible example in Dragon Age, one if you scroll out for an isometric veiw, it is in fact VERY simple to finagle with AoEs to not hit your party. As for depth, they spent 3 years just thinking of the setting, establishing the background for the game they WERE making and the ones they planned to make, in BG's case what soaked up most of the time was animating the environments most like.

[HandyMan101]

@ariandynas The other thing you have to keep in mind is depth. If a game company spends 3 years making a video game, and a large portion of that time is designing the 3d assets, how much left over is there for depth and story and imagination ? When a world is created for you to be made realistic, you lose something in what you fill in the blanks with. It's like the difference between the book and the movie.  The book is always better. The same can be said for BG\Current Gen

@ariandynas Hand Drawn. Also something is to be said for imagination. and the top down view gives it a more strategic feel. Case in point, its not exactly easy or doable to shoot a fireball and have your whole party out of the way of the explosion in a 3d enviroment. There is some satisfying about shooting an area of effect spell and being able to keep your party out of harms way. Reading the text, and just the whole feel of the game is very pnp-ish. Hard to describe.

@HandyMan101 Personally this does not make sense to me. As much as I love Baldur's gate, I also enjoy advanced graphics, and now, having moved far away from the (quite) pathetic graphical level of NWN 1 and with games like Skyrim and Dragon age, I fail to understand what appeals so much still about the Infinity engine. Yes it looked very nice at the time and did it's job well, but what makes it superior in your mind? I am genuinely curious.

[HandyMan101]

Bioware could bring back the Infinity Engine if they wanted.

If they did, I would be first in line to buy whatever they came up with.

3d does not a good game make.

Imagination is the best grafic card there is.

@theflightawayband Amen :)
