No need to argue anymore, whatever you want to call BG3 <DOS3> BG2 is still the king, and thank boo for that. It destroys BG3 in terms of atmosphere, content, music, npcs, dialogue, art style, UI, gameplay et etc...
Very poor decision by Larian to utilize the name BG3 , its so far off what it once was. But no one except fans of the first games seems to care so...who cares anymore what you call your games. 100% bate marketing. Oh and no worry, well just add Minsc for the fans and everyone will be happy...yea. thanks.
Sorry, but no.
I find that BG3 blows BG2 out of the water in all areas you described except content (or will, with tweaking and more content, since we are in early access), thus far. But, hey you're welcome to your own opinion.
(Seriously, I loathed the BG1 and 2 interfaces. They were just awful for me, and the characterization felt flat as a pancake a lot of the time, but again, just my opinion)
Also, why isn't this in the
BG3, DOS, and the D&D ruleset thread? I thought that's where all the discussion about whether BG3 is BG3 or DoS 3 was supposed to be contained. (and why isn't that in the megathreads?)
As a side note, when you say " But no one except fans of the first games seems to care so..." does that count those who consider themselves fans of BG 1 and 2, and see this as a worthy successor? I've seen at least a few of those floating around here.
It has been long time indeed since I played Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 I was perhaps not even adult 18 then keep my age mystery.. personally I liked most BG1 and its expansion the Werewolf Island ...
In their time BG1 and BG2 were the best games in their genre and are still today great games for those want to play them. Hard to compare to say any game that is example FPS shooter but in their fantasy genre best games!
BG1 and BG2 has very good characters and story liked it very much indeed.
BG3 camera control.... you know it took me quite a while to get used to it and it is not the best camera control out there. I even had on my countrys forums that talked about BG3 help some player that was completely lost in how to use BG 3 camera.
Oh sure I know how to use it, but even the O tactical field does not impress me.
I still LOVE this game! I would rate this game 9/10.
That does not mean it is perfect. People have right to wish for more. I like the story and combat and the Crypt area was lovely Horror area, the characters though
I do hope we also can get good characters in Act 2 that can join the party. Do not get me wrong I spared Lae Zel life, but sometimes it is tough with her when I try play neutral or Good character...
Shadowheart good? She has evil Deity enough said. There are no good characters. Will good? Hard for me to judge but perhaps neutral feel... his actions WARNING SPOILERS:
to try kill Goblin Leaders and try save Thiefling Village is no doubt good but his class is Warlock and...
I like this game very much. However do not for one second doubt that BG1 and BG2 were great games. This game will also be great but I also respect people that want some changes. I do not need story change it is good. However since you complained so much about the interface in old BG1 and BG2
I said my opinion about camera control in BG 3 which I Rate 7/10 (means could be better), but the whole game is though is very good and BG3 is 9/10 to me.Once upon a time I played BG1 expansion Werewolf Island together with my brother we were not adults then on LAN connection multiplayer. I look forward to play this game with my brother and other people throgh Internet connection. Of course I have played MMOS and multiplayer games before.
BG1, BG2 and BG3 are all very good games to me.
Oh and as challenge goes I have found it a bit amusing people complain this game is hard? Ok sure it should exist Easy challenge level for people that need it. That said I do want to play on harder difficulty level then Normal...WARNING SPOILERS:
I killed all the Goblin leaders on first try including the Drow no load and not using Halsin when I got to Halsin after killing all the leaders I found out that he had fled the area in Bear form did find him then in Thiefling village after that.In addition befor going to Thiefling village after I killed all Goblin leader including the Drow I then went out to courtryard was attacked by all and killed every Golbin in the fortress and outside no load needed first try... I was level 3 when fighting towards Goblin Leaders but level 4 after killed Drow and was level 4 in courtyard battle. I have played pen and paper and feel that challenge level for me could be Hard or Nightmare... Alpha is locked at Normal challenge level currently.
