I say: "HELLZ YA!" Who's with this old geezer?

[Fizzeler]

I have yet to pick up this series (I definitely plan to though) so no opinion as of yet

[Luke Bioware]

There are so many things in this game I never saw again, even in a BioWare game. With BGT or Tutu (plus the optional fixpacks and widescreen mod) this game is still worth your time, in triple.

I plan to definitely it is cheap to get the box set (like $20) and I get all those interesting expansions + both games

[Ponce de Leon]

Definitely so.

What I am angering about in the last few years is the fact that every "colossal" RPG (if we may call them this way) MUST be voiced 100%, or else some reviewers might start bashing the developers with "eeew, why no voicing, I am not capable enough for reading!!"

Without fully voiced dialogues, Baldur's Gate made an epic storyline heavily based on the dialogue system. That was one of the major points for why Dragon Age Origins wasn't the real 100% spiritual successor to the series.

Not to mention the incredible tactics you can make during the game, the almost infinite numbers of solving or NOT a battle, even the engine itself. While graphically it is quite old, every single environment, the single tree, a house, all drawn. The game wasn't a simple RPG... it was a work of art.

If this board stays alive, someone should make a list on how to play this game 'vanilla', but with using all the fixpacks and improvements which stay true to the original experience. Even I can't keep track of all these mods anymore D:.

SO. TRUE.

I have the Baldur's Gate 4-in-1 box set. There's no manuals or anything, but you get both games with their respective expansion packs.

Also if you're unlucky like me, you'll have to jump through some hoops to get the games to run well in widescreen. BG2 is not an issue, but BG was slow and I forget what I did to fix that.

not a fan of widescreen just need to be sure they run on 7 well

Same for KotoR, but my friend assured me that it works fine on 7

[Luke Bioware]

I can confirm it for both games. Windows 7 (64) here and Knights works through Steam. Baldur's Gate part one is beautiful through Tutu (or BGT) and the widescreen mod if you want that. I prefer windowed (1280 by 1024). I played it that way back in the day and else you see too much of the area in my opinion.

[Ponce de Leon]

My brother played Baldur's Gate (both) on 7. As far as I've seen, there was no trouble for him.

[Khayness]

Awesome, forum merging!



Let's fire up a BioWare social member multiplayer campaign session folks!

Awesome I'll pick these up ASAP then

The first thread in the new home of Baldur's Gate, and already challenging it's title...

This doesn't bode well.

[Khayness]

KotOR can be tricky, you need to tinker with it.

Here is a page on that matter

Best RPG series ever made? I don't know, never played Baldur's Gate. I've played Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance once but I didn't find it interesting back then. Of course I was younger then.

Oh, stop being a pessimist already! And defend the game you silly you!

I couldn't get past the "almost no voice acting" part

Funnily, I managed to look past in it PS: T, since the game was short

Strange, that's exactly my problem with newer games : 100% voice acting. Damn, for all I know, the Baldur's Gate series read was longer than any other book I read!

You can read much faster than listening to the voice actors. IE games contain so much text it would make the audiobook version of War and Peace look like a walk in the park.

I have to say, voice acting is about the least important part of any game for me. I hardly ever play with the sound on!  With the qualification that I can't get anything more recent that NWN to run on my computer, I'd say the BG series is definitely Bioware's best.

Well. I absolutely loved the man who did Jon Irenicus. Would've loved to hear more from him .

There's plenty of David Warner in film and television.Time Bandits, for instance.

That's just awful. How did you get your square face H_T? I want one too.

So they finally moved the forums, ah well, probably for the best.

[Brockololly]

BG2 was my first RPG I ever played and without a doubt BG2 and ToB were some of best gaming experiences I've ever had.
