Like so many others, Baldur's Gate. Ah to be the offspring of the god of murder once more... Those were the warm fuzzy days.

No one is going to believe me here - but my first BioWare game was Shattered Steel. I was obsessed with mech combat games (and space sims) in the mid-'90s, and after plowing through Mechwarrior and the like, I played a demo that (I think) was on a PC Gamer disc.

I saw it at CompUSA shortly thereafter for a low price and picked it up. It's still somewhere in my house, probably in a box in the basement...

I believe you. I remember when S/S came out. (Ack, we are dating ourselves quite majorly here )

Knights of the Old Republic. It was singleplayer, and it ran on my PC. Bought it as part of the Star Wars: Best of PC boxed set. It led me to bootleg KOTOR2 until my local Target finally started carrying it. (Mind you, this was still on a dialup connection...it took 3 weeks to download. NEVER AGAIN.)

It also broke my addiction to Diablo II. Thank the Maker.

Baldur's Gate, back in 2000 I believe. Got to play BG2 and ToB in pretty rapid succession =) 'twas great! One of my best friends was playing it next to me on a lan party, and it looked so awesome I just had to pick it up, myself.

I first played Baldur's Gate in the summer of 2002. A friend of mine lent it to me, and in return, I lent him Diablo 2. I only got as far as Nashkel, though; I was heading off to university in another city, so we re-swapped our games. A few months later, when I returned home for Thanksgiving, my friend stopped by and gave me a copy (sorry Bioware). Unfortunately, I ended up losing one of the discs and the story abruptly ended for me after flooding the Cloakwood Mines.

A couple years later, I bought Baldur's Gate 2 and its expansion on a whim and really got into it, but not enough to compell me to buy BG 1 (though I'm sure I would if I saw it in a game store).

When Dragon Age: Origins came out, promising to be Baldur's Gate's spiritual sequel, I had a nostalgia rush and bought it (the Grey Warden in my avatar was based on my Cavalier in BG2). A few months later, I got Mass Effect 2, which was also pretty fun (I still haven't played Mass Effect 1).

And i started with Baldur's Gate simply amazing game.

[Awildawn]

Baldur's gate back in 2001, when I finally was able to buy a pc. It was great.

[sleepingbelow]

Actually Baldur's Gate II for me. Skipped the first one. Bought it with the Throne of Bhaal Expansion at the same time.

[Romantiq]

I am going to confess. I still sometimes listen to soundtracks from neverwinter / kotor or use some of battle their music in other games (Heroes of might and magic, fallouts, oblivion)

Great music will remain great and it also brings back good memories

Baldur's Gate 2 1999

...And i couldn't play it at first because it needed a 8x CD-ROM driver and i had a 4x on my computer. That's when i first learned about system requirements.

 I remember struggling with Icewind Dale because I only had a 33 MHz processor. Those were the days.

It happened again when i bought Mass Effect 1 my graphics card couldn't handle it and i had no money to buy a new one. That's when i first learned of overclocking.

Who said that video games don't teach you anything?

Often times, necessity breeds innovation. Not to say that you came up with the idea, but necessity certainly made you look for a better way.

I'm the person in our house who does all the necessary things with computers (drivers, BIOS updates occasionally, adding new hardware), and everything I know is down to gaming. I've spent ridiculously long periods of time on forums/ self help websites over the years figuring out how to get various games to work (I'm looking at you, NWN1), or researching different bits of kit. if anyone had told me when I was a 20yr old English Lit student that one day I could have a conversation about graphics card clock speeds, I would have asked them what the hell a card clock was and why it needed graphics.

Sorry, handing this back to the topic xx

KOTOR. I have a bg2 playthrough I've been working on for a couple of years but I am simply terrible at it. The learning curve is more like a brick wall and the 4 pack didn't come with a manual.

With the release of Baldur's Gate....still on of the best RPG's to me

[Renessa]

Started with Jade Empire (PC version 2007) and liked it a lot. Then went back and got Kotor and totally fell in love and turned into a Bioware fan. I even tried out Baldur's Gate, but I hated it with a passion. Too long, too ugly, too clunky. (Well, go on, stone me! ;-))

Mass Effect is my all time favourite game. ME2 was very good, if not quite in the same category as ME. I did like the combat improvements.

Loved DAO (although, at first I had my doubts, as it was advertised as a Baldur's Gate successor) and I am looking forward to DA2.

I started to play Bioware games with MDK, and i don't really remember when that was out. =P

[Lee T]

I tried Bladur's Gate at the time but couldn't get into it because of the AD&D rules.

KOTOR is my first real contact, I bought NWN after (thankfully it used D&D3) and pretty much every game they've made since.

Bioware made MDK2 and it was released 2000. 

[turian councilor Knockout]

I started to play when Bioware released the first Baldurs Gate (Damn good times).

2004 I believe, with Kotor. It's still one of my favroites.

[El Codge]

I thought it was BG, but apparently the PC version of MDK2 was out in 97, so that.

BTW, anyone who still has their BG & BG II discs needs to play them again with the Widescreen / Hi-res mod. It's absolutely stunning.

My father gave me Baldur's Gate for Christmas in 1998.

He had gotten me into Diablo two years before, at the age of 10, and apparently decided that the release of Baldur's Gate was just in time for me to upgrade to something more mature. Yes, my dad was awesome, thank you very much.

I played BG from that Christmas morning into January and didn't finish until well into summer. There was very little, indeed, to 1999, but school and Baldur's Gate. I may have been playing computer games for years before then, and some enchanted me pretty well, but I contend that Baldur's Gate really made me a gamer.

No idea, Bioware wasnt even on the scene when I started gaming but ive owned most if not all thier games on release so whatever that was
soz I cant be specific but so many years ago so many games played and the older I get the worse my memory seems to be.
what was the question again?

[Onuris22]

First Bioware game I played was MDK2 then BG2 right after it came out, and have been playing their games ever since. I didn't like BG2 at first, but it slowly warmed on me and turned on the hunger inside me for more story

Ended up getting BG shortly after, and have pretty much played every Bioware release since then.
