It is "funny" that original Baldur's Gate is suddenly a bad game now
I am just amazed how the things turned out to be. For many many years the BG series was a state of the art when it came to RPG. If you were browsing forums (even these days) about RPGs, you clearly noticed the BG series was always priced together with Planescape Torment as the best RPG of all times. Not only these games, but all the games from the golden DnD era on PC - Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights or Planescape Torment, Star Wars: KotOR - were considered the best among CRPGs because of its complexity, battles, worlds and stories.

But now? Just over night after Larian showed their Baldur's Gate 3, all of that has just disappeared. Now I listen how bad those battles were, how BG actually wasnt a good DnD game, how this was bad, how that sucked....WTF?!

What the ♥♥♥♥ is this? Just a couple of years ago when Pillars of Eternity came out, players were thrilled that a new CRPG era had begun, they were so happy how close PoE was to the traditional BG-like experience. And now? Now it's just all gone? Now the BG style is bad all of a sudden?

After one, one video (which was pretty bad - Swen sucked a lot and later it even was boring) nothing of those kings of CRPGs has left but dust only because Larian Studios made a Baldur's Gate game which is a total opposite to the BG formula?

What the ♥♥♥♥ is happening all of a sudden?

Larian dickriding white knights coming with their shields up to protect their precious studio, that what happened
White knights before the reveal: YAY ANOTHER BALDUR'S GATE GAME, GREATEST CRPG SERIES EVER MADE

After the "Baldur's Gate 3" reveal: Man, Baldur's Gate actually sucked, I am happy that Larian is remaking D:OS 2 and putting a Forgotten Realms skin on it.

It boggles the mind.

You know I'm reminded of a qoute for Planescape Torment arguably the best of the classic old cRPGs. "Best book you have ever played"

These games were not ever praised for there gameplay mechanics they were praised because of the incredibly deep and interesting stories and choices you could make from a role playing perspective. Thats what makes Baldurs Gate, Planescape, Neverwinter, and all these old cRPGs so memorable. The idea that it was the RTwP combat is not only nonsensical but a flat out fabrication created by a bunch of intellectually vapid nerds who refuse to move of from a nostalgic time they hold in high regards.

The game is going to be exceptional Larian know what they are doing, they have that classic mindset when it comes to writing and divergent quests, but modern sensibilities when it actually comes to gameplay. They are the best of both words and understand video games.

Exactly this. It has never been about the combat mechanic of BG 1/2 and IE games, it was always about everything else in those games, like you stated, that made them so memorable. The stories, the lore, the characters, the choices, the atmosphere, those were the things that made the IE games so great and memorable, and not the combat mechanic.

Advantage disavantage, armor system, skill, class options, skill checks, needing rest for skill and spell reset, art styles match with DnD 5th artwork, character creating

Yea, but the game as a whole reminds much more of Divinity Original Sin than original Baldurs Gate and this why the hc BG fans are angry
Then thats an issue with them thinking Divinity Original Sin is simular to DnD 5th, which i can agree it is, which means there is is more how much dnd has changed in 20 years, there have been 4 new editions come out in 20 year it changed alot and people only playing BG1 and BG2 have not seem it or care about it, far too many post dont want to know what dnd 5th is like in any way as its not Bg1 and BG2

You call it nostalgic, I call it Baldur's Gate. Why would I want a BG game to play and feel like Original Sin?

What makes a Baldur's Gate Baldurs gate? You know almost every classic cRPG was made with the same engine and had pretty much identical combat right? The spells and stats just varied. Is Planescape the same as BG because it looked and played similar?

Baldur's gate was NEVER known for its high quality battles lolmao. Even back then just looking at DnD pc games only, the best battle gameplay was by FAR Troika games' Temple of elemental evil (2003).
Despite being a huge fan of BG I thought plenty of time how I would have loved a BG 3 with that gameplay, and guess what, that gameplay was turn based, and the BG3 /DOS gameplay is way above that as well. And BG's gameplay has aged pretty badly too boot, wasn't great back then, would be even more below standard for today's standards.


Baldur's gate had amazing qualities, like NPC (depth, level of interaction, likeable, interesting and memorable...) which had been one of the main strength if not the main strength of Bioware, the depth of the world created, the story and the like. Most of those had little to no competition back then and fully justify how much we all loved that game.

just because you're a fan does not mean that you should look away from the weak points that the original series had.

Sure, twist people's words to your liking so that you "have a point".

That's a ridiculous claim. It was a great game for its time, but why should future releases of the franchise remain within the limitations of 1999? Makes no sense.

Let new CRPGs enhance on the experience of exploration, adventuring and combat, don't have CRPGs stagnate in 1999 and forever remain behind the experience of pen & paper RPGs, which know no limitations (since one's mind does not have a locked isometric camera, for instance). Allow CRPGs to finally catch up and make for a more authentic RPG experience.

P.S. Games like PoE are completely outdated for their time in certain aspects, like the aforementioned camera. At least, the second one had QoL updates, much better character customization and quality, and great animations etc to make up for its otherwise outdated engine with its unrotateable camera and limited zoom. Many games, like DOS2, have camera mods to break those silly, outdated limitations.

Come on people you were so adamant before.

I repeat.

Yeh, you do have to laugh. :)

Remember when cRPG gamers were so up in arms about the terrible, horrible combat mechanics in Baldur's Gate that they didn't make any more games?

If that wasn't proof enough, remember when they didn't break off a whole franchise of games and expansions called Icewind Dale which was literally just "here's hours more of the combat with barely any story". Or when the same combat mechanics didn't appear in a bunch of other well-known RPGs?

Yeah, BG combat was total intolerable crap.

No it wasn't. It was very enjoyable. You sound without reason.

How? Except that it is turnbased and doesnt look like ♥♥♥♥ (aka a 20 year old game), how does it feel more like DOS than BG?

Lul. It feels nothing like BG. It feels very very very much like DoS.

Yeah, BG combat was total intolerable crap.

For its time, it was fine. As was Fallout 1 and 2's combat. Because there weren't really any alternatives.

But then new games came out building on and refining those concepts. And going back to it now after having experienced more up-to-date design philosophies of the same core concepts shows how poorly they've aged.

The storytelling, characters, and roleplaying opportunities remained as solid as ever.

This and the gear... but the NPCs were a huge part, as was the lore.

I would not say its a bad game. I loved it, Still do but i will admit its aged poorly and not what i look for in a D&D game. I think a lot of this has to do with the fact BG was an introduction to D&D tabletop for me so i kept going with it and that became more how i saw the game and BG as simpley an adaption. I watched a video recently it was about 2 hrs but i think it states very well why the game just doesnt translate as well espically to new fans while also praising some of the things it did and what made it revolutionary for the time

I would reccomend a watch for anyone interested and with the time.

BG1? Yes, but BG2 is with NWN2 the best RPGs ever made and no modern RPG can reach their heights
thats a opinion and nostalgia

Classic Baldurs gates are absolute amazing and I love playing them, and they were released before I was even born.

Usually I dont like playing old games lol
