Why do people play Baldur's Gate

[Skeletor]

What is the psychology behind it? I'd like to investigate your childhood

[🍃🪻🪷Sylvie🩵🍸🍵]

Short answer: because it's fun and was inspired by Dungeons & Dragons.

1&2 are far better than the Dark Alliance spinoffs, 3 is orders of magnitude better than the DA games.

You know...You could've just said your a butthurt fanboy of the bad og games from the start... and admitted that these games doing well so far hurts your feelings.

These games aren't doing well, the real games outsold these and outscored them.

First couch coop that was sorta diablo-esq we could just pop in and play with friends.

Honestly, these days, there are a ton of better options. For the time however, nothing could compete.

OP What is the psychology behind you wanting to know? I'd like to investigate why you are trying to investigate other peoples childhood. Are you hoping for a cupcake or just jail time?

BG 1&2 each sold over 2 million copies on PC alone when they came out and their metacrirtic scores are 91 and 95.
Dark Alliance sold around 1 and a half million copies on Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube combined. DA2 sold under 1 million on Xbox and PS2 combined. Both DA games have lower review scores as well.

More people bought BG3 Early Access than bought DA and DA2 combined.

Bad games sometimes sell better than good, it's sad but true...

Because its D&D Forgotten Realms. There might be better games out there, but they usually contain fairly generic (and many times uninspired) universes.

If people play table D&D, seeing stuff they might have heard or played about in-game is fun.
