I was thinking about playing Baldur's Gate, should I play original or enhanced for the first time?

inb4 beamdog
haha
enhanced for better widescreen support
dispite what contrarians say, beamdog didn't change anything in the base game exept adding their oc's, who you can dismiss immediately after meeting them
Holy shit, is that from Dungeon Meshi's mangaka?
imagine believing only 1 in 12 are hetero
Yes
Enhanced it is, then. Thanks.
Almost forgot, anything I should know before start playing?
Just remember that the lord of murder shall perish
do you know anything about D&D iso rpg's beforehand? going in without knowing some meta suff is asking for frustration
basic jest of it is saving often(and I mean often), and go ranged. low level D&D sucks, you often get oneslaped, doesn't help that the game throws you hordes of ranged fiends an you from the get go.
find a mage ASAP(neera in bergost, edwin in nakshel), makes the game much more berable
w-why does dynaheir look like she's about to step on me
fucking hell dude
I get calling Viconia demihuman since she is a drow, but demigirl sounds weird.
>do you know anything about D&D iso rpg's beforehand?
Nope, thanks fore tips.
>Playing wasteland 2
>30 hours in
>Not even halfway done
>Quite bored
Is baldurs gate 2 more interesting than this?
much more interesting
Why
>enchanted edition OCs
Absolutely. Wasteland 2 is turn-based and honestly fails to replicate the former glory of CRPG's.
*AHEM*
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.
cool plots
really fun but broken combat,but still extremely fun
great companions
the world is fun to explore in bg1,and the dungeons in bg2 are god tier
I'm more worried about the jank. Tried fallout 1 and it was so janky I couldnt force myself to play it.
go zoom somewhere else
>If you dont play 20 year old 'games' you're a zoomer
I know exactly how you feel though you will get called a zoomer by people who probably never played Fallout 1. The Baldur's Gate series is all around more polished with all the mods you can install.
