Both baldurs gate1 &2 and planescape were developped by the same studio, Black Isle
Nope.
Bioware made BG1 and 2 while Black Isle licensed the engine, made Torment, the game bombed hard and the studio was scattered between Obsidian, Troika and few others.
Nevertheless, Black isle still participed in the developpement of all of these game. It's listed as developpers. So I Believe I can say these games were developped by Black Isle. I believe we are diverting from the subject, however.
@Clavis Look, It feels like you re rambling and trying to convince me that the game is full of choice when, obviously, you could have more in some situations. You can keep describing some part of the game and how you feel about them, it doesn't lead to any ways for players such as the OP to feel better about the in-game choices. I mean, lets be constructive and try to suggest for ways to solves that the cheapest way possible, as we are basically beta tester.
The thread title is the Illusion of choice, and many are saying that there are very little choices and that's wrong. I have stated facts from the game to show you that there is more then what they are seeing. Proving that their is choices, and more then meets the eye at first glance. I never stated that their could or couldn't be more in some situations, just that there are more then what people are seeing. Are the choices going to be what everyone wants, no, especially when they're not seeing all of it. Wether it be through rushing, not paying as much attention or just going by one playthrough. Either of these things can lead to them believing the choices are limited, when they are not. or not as limiting as what is seen at first glance.
You want a summary of all my supposed ramblings. Open your eyes, play through even the first part of the game multipule times, in different ways, with different classes, and races. Explore around, then come and make an informed decision. Because evidently people providing proof, as to what they have noticed is simply rambling, and not going to change views. If proof doesn't, then what does?
also with the provided examples you can go through and keep an eye out, maybe even see something I miss,or others miss.
