Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Are Three Levels Enough for Any CRPG or RPG?

Fair enough. I am of those who prefer BG1 (and I know Im not alone) because of that sense of danger of being a new adventurer, with little ressource and always having to be careful (as demonstrated by Sven) and the fear that you can die at the hands of gibberlings. Everything you find, every bit of XP, that shiny new +1 weapon, the first time you get a plate armor, you know it counts. Thats what I loved about BG1, the beginning of a grand adventure.

I hear you. I'm way more of a story guy myself and companion interactions in BG2 are way better thats true. But I found the story of BG1 better and also liked Sarevok better than Irenecus, even if way less powerful. His visuals, his voice, the fact that he kills your father, you finding out that he's your brother. Everything is more personnal in BG1. While BG2 story is really good too, it is basically just a very powerful guy and his sister trying to steal something from you. The endgame is you trying to stop his scheme, wich has nothing to do with the bhaalspawns, from coming to fruition. Still cool, just less personnal.
