Any of Beamdog RPG's worth buying? Their whole catalog is on sale right now.

Do these games still hold up? Is there controller support?

>playing an isometric RPG with a controller

end it now

Neverwinter Nights still has an active online, so that one I guess.

>Is there controller support?
Buy all of them, you're literally their target audience.

BG2 and PST are pretty much the only ones still worth playing. The rest are boring antiquated dungeon crawls.

Someone post that beamdog copypasta

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.

Based anti-beamdog poster.

Based

I heard the Neverwinter 1 port had problems
Has it been fixed

Pretty good games, user.
Only thing I'd say is Baldur's Gate and especially Icewind Dale can be difficult if you're not familiar with the combat, the tutorial isn't enough jus look up a quick guide.

P:T is literally a book with some gameplay sparkled in and it's amazing.

Neverwinter Nights is the weakest game and outside of the custom modules and HOTU, the game is pretty bad but worth it anyway for HOTU

AFAIK IWD EE balance is thrown down the drain with kits. play Classic Complete for IWD.

>The rest are boring antiquated dungeon crawls.
bro you just don't get the genre, good dungeon crawls are fun as fuck
also BG is far from dungeon crawl, which hint's you don't know your shit

Agreed. Although BG2 is pretty much poorman's Dragon Age while Planescape is a visual novel. Still fun games though.

No, and if there was just pirate it, Beamdog is of the devil. They are pure evil.

OMG it IS a bot. It can't be a person, no way is there someone this sad.

I'd rather go back to IW2 and I hope beamdog never "enhance" it. Their means of tweaking mechanics and stats are horrible.

Based, keep doing God's work user.

Everything but NWN is. Also

>IE games
>gamepad

You're gonna have a bad time.

Yes. Personally recommending Planescape: Torment.

I'd probably get them all for this price if you're intent on not pirating, you'll get a couple hundred hours out of most of these games by themselves, and then there's a ton of great modules for NWN that are sometimes even better than the main game
HotU for NWN is probably my favorite campaign for a DND based game, good fun

>giving your money to beamdog
>beamdog's RPGs
Fuck no

What is pasta
Beamnigger

nah, they enjoy "correcting" these games so the narrative/characters have more left leaning views.

Which wouldn't be too bad if you were a leftist but the catcher is, they fucking suck at writing.

5. Siege of motherfucking Dragonspear.

NVN2: mask of the betrayer is great story + lvl30 dnd 3.5 allows great min-maxing

1. Nobody cares, im not a modder.
2. Nobody cares, if you were interested in the original games you would have bought them when they were available also muh pirate also they still are in the ee.
3. Nobody cares, years have passed games are ok now.
4. Dont buy siege of motherfucking dragonspear also point 2.
5. Dont buy siege of motherfucking dragonspear.

Beamdog's versions are the only way to play them on Steam now a days (I could swear Steam had Planescape Torment non-Enhanced for years). So... If you can get them for $5 like here, sure, I guess.

Helm approves of this post

Buy this instead, it's better and it's cheaper than all 5 of those shitty games

Retard

Fuck no.
Fuck no.
Fuck no.
They look worse than the original ones.

>ruins the company and has too been acquired by Microsoft to be saved because pandering to the tumblr/faggotera crowd didn't work out
The game isn't even worth pirating.
LMAO

steam never had the non-beamdog versions

it makes me sick to think that so many people see the memedog releases as the true versions of these games now. I still own the cardboard for this shit.

play the gog versions in 800x600 the way they're supposed to be.

>dude be uncomfortable lmao
Why are some of you like this? Why the fuck would I ever use a keyboard and mouse unless it was absolutely necessary? the average isometric rpg can be played with the right stick, two triggers and an A button

kys boomer, make way for new generation

why did your mother drop you headfirst onto a concrete floor?

I just checked GoG, they pulled the older versions there. So you'll have to pirate/torrent them. Which is fucking insane for something that is GOOD OLD GAMES.

Playing video games with a typing device is the most boomer thing ever, didn't you know.

>75%
thats not a sale thats robbery

Aside from baldurs gate 1 they are ok games

but i found them all too easy as a min maxer fag, even with difficulty mods,they are too easy to break

Fucking ridiculous. What a scummy repulsive vulture company beamdog is.

Do not support beamdog. Edmonton is almost rid itself of bioware SJW cancer, beamdog needs to die too.

You're my favourite pasta, fuck mods and fuck jannies.

why are anti-SJW's so whiny creatures?

Fight fire with fire.

>if you were interested in the original games you would have bought them when they were available
I bought them on CD. I never bothered to buy the GOG versions because I already owned them and I figured if my CDs ever broke or got lost I could buy from GOG then.

>not having all of them already on CD-ROM you bought 15 years ago

Truly based and honorable.

Is it true that there's an original version bundled with the Steam version?

hållkäften din jävla anime

No, you're thinking of GOG.

I left my CDs at my parents house when I moved out, they probably got rid of them

>Should I pay for forced tranny agenda and shit mods did ten years ago for free?
No.

Did they add new story content to NWN?
No way I'm paying Beamdog a cent, but I'm still curious.

>spending hours installing fan fixes instead of just paying three fifty for somebody else to do it for you
lmao

>they probably got rid of them
I see it all the time on Yea Forums. "My parents throw away my collection when I was in army" or "my mom sold my old games when I was in collage". Is it some sort of American tradition to disrespect your own children?

>Did they add new story content to NWN?
No

i last played Torment about 10 years ago, the mod pack came with a configurable installer even back then

thanks, i might pirate it then
i'll play witch's wake to get mad at the sequel coming never ever

>10 years ago
Welp. Planescape Torment was a DirectDraw game, the API is literally deprecated on modern OS's, have fun trying to run the OG version now. You'll need a DDraw wrapper and none of them are 100% perfect.

i know this is bait but fuck you anyway

Bait thread confirmed, move along

Holy fucking BASED

I've never had any serious difficulty getting any old Windows game to run fine on Windows 10. I'm sure it's very challenging for a stupid phoneposter.

I'm talking specifically about PST and you're just making shitty generalizations and ad hominem attacks. Great fucking arguments. "Worked great on my boomer machine 10 years ago, should be fine now". Fucking LOL.

stop tardraging

>any old Windows game to run fine on Windows 10.
Really?
Have you tried any game containing Securom or Starforce on Win 10?
Cracks don't count.

Congratulations on being the 0.001% exception.

Don't feed the troll. He has no arguments.
