Thanks for that link. No, I didn't just need my personal thread. Like I said before, I found 200 threads with "turned based" and I don't like digging into forums. Anyhow, I'll follow that one from now.
If you're a fan of fantasy fiction, I am surprised you don't know about the movie (not a comic book). Do yourself a favor and check it out (especially for the music). The original 1982 movie, not the recent Jason Momoa one.
I'm not a fan of fantasy fiction, I just like a few games, among which BG2, and music in general. It happens that BG2 has a great soundtrack and for me it matters, and I would have expected the same from this one.
OP is outright saying that a turn based video game cant be good lmao.
That's taken out of context. But you can lyao how much you want. Truth is I can't see a good video game with purely turn-based system, sorry.
Why try to bring chess into your arguments? It's a D&D video game and D&D is turn based. It's not like playing chess, it's like playing D&D.
Then we have different opinions. I don't particularly like D&D tabletop game, but if I would play that, I would play that. If I play a videogame I play a videogame. I don't think that if you like coffee and bananas then you would like the mix too. Chess is a 100% controlled game and I think a video game shouldn't or at least shouldn't be fully controlled all the time. In real life you never control 100% the world around you, so I don't expect that in a video.
Summing up on this post:
- I like BG2 for three main reasons: story, battles (with many spells) and music
- BG3 so far proved none: story yet to prove anything, battles are not good (explained above, way too long and too much control than necessary) and music is mediocre
For these reasons, currently I don't plan to buy the BG3 full game, paying a full price for a draft was more than enough. The biggest problem is that I didn't finish it yet and I already got bored repeatedly. The only reason I will finish it is because I still consider myself a fan of BG.
