Well I was young indeed when Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 was released. Both me and my brother lived then at my parents home (kids or teenagers usually do that) and we used LAN connection multiplayer. Personally my favorite are of those was the Werewolf Island expansion in BG1.
My nickname Terminator? Comes actually from gaming FPS games example Unreal Tournament 2004, Battlefield 3 etc. From Terminator movies I liked most Terminator 1 and Terminator 2. The rest are less good as I feel also that Starwars movies are not great anymore.
Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2... Despite Nevewinter Nights 1 original campaign did not have great graphics the editor tool was great I played also on a persistent server with better graphics multiplayer and some player released modules (adventures).
MMO era: Age of Conan when it was released year 2008. It was fairly good but a bit unpolished and all the features developers had promised was not available during release. Anyway my brother suggested the lets try World of Warcraft it is very polished now. It had also subfee/month.
World of Warcraft (I started playing when Wrath of Lich King expansion had been released) MMO. It was good indeed fell instantly in love with it and hooked to it. Main issues were though that to much TIME SINK in the long run. It had also subfee/month. Anyway stopped playing roughly after 3 years playing.
Neverwinter MMO (Action MMO but more or less based on DD 4th edition). It was good. DD4th edtion is however the worst version of DD rules ever released. DD5th at lest did listen to community feedback and corrected many mistakes with DD4th edtion. I quit due to much TIME SINK and this point more or less fed up with TIME SINK MMO:S. Free to play but pay real money to win system a bit despite that a totally free player can enjoy it.
Pillars of Eternity 1... I did play through the whole campaign... though annoying since not DD rules. Pathfinder? While the rules that are close to DD3.5 are great felt to much sandbox kind of game and I never played through it. DOS2? Bought it, but felt average and never played through it and it was not DD rules.
I do not like sandbox games and yes I tried Skyrim did not like it at all best thing was community made mod that made all women nude lol.
BG3. I get it that some hardcore players want it more according to the DD rules... I get it and can support it. However for me this is not so game breaking I could not play through BG3 with this system. I you would ask me how do I rate BG3 on a scale of 1-5 stars.. + I like the graphics. + I like the music and sound effects. + Max settings run well on my old Nvidia 1070 Titanium 8GB DDR5. + I like the main story and sidequests are generally good. Neutral: DD5th editon if fairly good and much better then DD4th but perhaps not my all favorite DD system of all times. Neutral: An easy improvement here would be to add some good aligned companions in Act 2 for a change lol good thank you. Neutral: Yes the game could be more close to DD rules. This does not however stop me from playing through the game I think but I can support idea more according to DD rules. General score BG3 4.25/5 stars. Negative: Camera control is clumsy and not great one in this game... it sucks compared to example WOW MMO. Camera controls I give separately score 3/5 stars which mean it could be a lot better indeed. I know how to use it and I do know about tactical camera mode press O button in battles, but that is either not very well done likes some other kind of games.
I have played Pen and Paper roleplaying including Dungeons Dragons different versions.
