SPARE NO ONE

Beamdog is a guilty of a number of different crimes. Here are the major ones.

1. The Enhanced Editions are essentially a collection of free mods that had existed for nearly twenty years. Beamdog gathered them all up, slapped "Enhanced Edition" on it and resold it as a new product. There's very very little in the Enhanced Editions that wasn't already out there, and most of it is stuff you don't want (like obnoxious character outlines).

2. The games didn't sell so well and the originals were still far outselling them, even twenty years after their release, so Beamdog had EVERY digital distributor stop selling the originals and ONLY sell the Enhanced Edition. If you want to buy a digital copy of the originals now, they're "bundled" into the Enhanced Edition. Now these scumbags can claim sales from people just wanting to buy the originals as their own.

3. The infamous 600+ bugs on launch. The game is still riddled with bugs (as even a perfunctory glance over their forums show) but the fact that it took nearly two years for them to get a game that had been working fine for 20 years to reach playability after launch is telling of their wild incompetence.

4. This is where we get to the ones that really piss people off. Beamdog couldn't just remaster the game, they had to fuck with the content too. New dialogue for existing NPCs like Jaheira, Viconia, Safana, Kivan, et cetera was written in to make the characters more progressive and leftist friendly. Beamdog shills will argue that "adding content isn't changing content XDDD" but it is when the new content changes the core personalities of the existing characters. This is in addition to adding a slew of their own LGBT (hitherto there were none in Baldur's Gate) NPCs, all flooded with OP attributes and magic items to encourage people to play them despite their cancer.

5. Siege of motherfucking Dragonspear.

God, you're right.

I remember spending hours trying to get Hamachi working so my friends and I could play Baldur's Gate together. Finally, everything clicked, everyone rolled up a character, and we were going into it with a full party.

First screen transition, we rolled like twenty bandits as a random encounter. We didn't play again.

What a legend. He still has this copy pasta saved. Wow. The dedication, truly.

BWAHAHAHA

Yeah, in terms of comedic timing, it was perfect. I was a little too miffed to appreciate it at the time, though.

ALRIGHT, YOU AND ME, LET'S GO!

That's a shame, did you perhaps try again?

2 has better companions and banter
Athkatla>Baldur's Gate
BG2 has so many unique areas and dungeons, while the majority of BG1 is just green forests and 2 mines
better combat
>inb4 uhrdrr muh mage duels
git gud shitter
after exploring the world of BG1, there's nothing really more to see, if you've played it 3 or 4 times it will become a huge slog to explore the map, while BG2 is always a joy to play
I love BG1 and I always play it to import my character into BG2, but BG2 is objectively a much better game

disgusting outline

>Still no Baldur's Gate 3

It was 80% complete and almost certainly one of the best RPGs of all time...but then Interplay ruined it and laughed gloatingly. I blame console gaming.

blame Beamdog, not Black Isle, which always did everything right, models included

there's no reason for a BG3, the Bhaalspawn saga ends when you kill Amelysan

Blade Beamdog, the fuckers had to ruin it with the EE crap.

Confirmed for not playing the games. Why the fuck would their be a third game, the expansion is pretty conclusive.

meant for

Here is a rope, now go hang yourself you uninformed imbecile.

Remember Dragonspear? Also BG3 is already being worked on for some retarded reason. This franchise needs to be left alone, it's been bullied too much.

there was no reason to release a title as shitty as Throne of Bhaal under the BG banner either, but it happened nonetheless

BG3 had a captivating new premise about the PC's pursuit by his own guilt and it would've made for another grand, sprawling D&D adventure of a gigantic scope, but I guess some games are just too good to release.

ToB with ascension and scs is fucking incredible, though i agree the vanilla ToB can be pretty shallow compared to SoA

God, what could have been. Why, we could have had a Planescape: Torment on our hands.

Play Tyranny, ignore the werewolf character and play the best crpg of our timeline.

There's a werewolf character?

Yes. But not an actual "werewolf".
