Suprisingly the 2000 released game felt outdated 2013 when played after playing all the games that were inspired by it and build upon its achievements? Really?
Also detaching the social reality from the time the game was made and judging it by todays moral standards is a bit asking much. Our developement in society is painfully slow when it comes to sexuality and racism. Some tend to forget how far ago the 90s and 2000s were in these regards (not to mention that romances were far from the standard in games back then - definitely not to thel degree they are now that expectation run up to dating simulators).
I said it before and I will say it again BG 1 & 2 are not good games from todays point of view. The writing is odd, the gamepaly is limiting and so on... but its a ridicolous comparission. At its time it was as revolutionary as it would be today reactionary going back to it.
