Recentley I read a Deus EX decennial celebration piece on some gaming
journalism (lol) website where prominent current-gen figureheads in the
games industry extolled the virtues of the game and gave testimony to
how it had inspired them; in their career choice and how they work
today.
The game, though released in a golden age of groundbreaking
PC titles, is widely regarded as seminal and way ahead of it's time. But
another game came out in the same year, a game many still believe is
unforgivingly difficult, too open world and generally good but an
unpolished foundation for a greater game.
Those people are wrong because that game just happens to be the best game ever made:

Baldur's Gate

I've been playing games in one form or another
for over 25 years and have always loved them. As I've gotten older
fewer and fewer command my attention for long nor compell me to play
them; that's just maturity, growing up and all the ensuing time
constraints and priorities and looking back, for the most part I don't
mind because the games of my youth were **** but we didn't know any
better. But in 1999 when the only remaing ember of interest I had in
games was briefly sparked by Unreal on a brand new Celeron powered PC
(500mhz!!) I installed Baldur's Gate and it blew me the **** away. It
still does and I will only play it in it's 640x480 vanilla goodness and I
will continue to revisit this game.

Bioware I don't know who
worked on this game or where they are or what manner of  fortuitous
circumstances colluded to enable this game to be made but you need to
mine that vein again and forget hot rodding and THE NEW **** route you're currently pursuing. 

BG1
did things that were both brave and audacious that would alienate your
current army of consoletard fans: it was brutally unfair; starting the
PC at level 1 and thrusting him alone and helpless into a wilderness
where a wolf waited to tear you apart, having a mage casting mirror
image and horror at the gates of the supposed sanctuary.
For those of
us who like a challenge this was mana from heaven and sent a clear
message that this game would not babysit, guide or help in any way in
fact the game hated you and for this we loved it.

Dragon Age 2 is going to be 20 hour button mash fest with quest markers, tutorials and no strategy or difficulty.

Bioware
you cowards, you once made a game that was simply sublime in it's
brilliance, over ten years later you are churning out Dragon "HOT
ROD!!!" Age 2.

I've bought almost every game you've made but even BG1's coattails are so long.
**** Dragon Age 2, as a statement of who you are as artisits and entertainers it stinks and I'm out.

Alright, that's quite enough.



Someone thinks game evolution should have ended with BG1, or that we owe them another game just like it? Fair enough. It is not okay to fling insults at everyone who disagrees with you by making inflammatory remarks.



Shutting this down before it goes further.
