I don't get it. Why would anyone play this when you could just actually play D&D? Do CRPG fans just not have friends to play with?

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.

Why even playing D&D when F.A.T.A.L exists?
Mason Williams
Why even play games when you could have sex?
Benjamin Scott
shut up, faggot.
Thomas Wood
Why play D&D when you can LARP?
Nathan Johnson
D&D is for nerds.

Might aswell ask.When I launch BGT i get window with "-1" and option to click OK. Can I somehow fix it or I have to set up BGT again?
Daniel Jenkins
I care for your bullshit where you magical realm the group again.

FFFFFFuck this game man. I missed out on it growing up, so I tried to relive the moment by playing through the whole series. I nearly played through all of 1, but lost the save, and now I can never build up the will to try 2, or play through 1 again. I missed my fucking chance.

Because unless you have a good party, it's complete shit.
Most people have zero understanding of how slow it is and frustrating it is with a bad party.
That was one of the reasons I stopped playing shortly ever.
It's a mage. I expected a fight. All I got was "whoops he's a 1d4 damage roll and now he's dead". There's no difficulty in the game

No one actually plays PnP with real pen, paper and dice anymore, everyone plays tabletops over the interbutt using skype/discord while running MapTools, D20Pro, Hero Lab, ect
Even if you are playing in person you're still using a laptop to do all the calculations and shit because otherwise the pace of the game is too damn slow.

How did IRL D&D players handle romances?
Do you seduce some other player and have sex mid-dungeon like in BG2, too?
That must've been awkward.
Dylan Carter
That only happens in FATAL user
We don't talk about FATAL
Caleb Price
No one but the absolute most autistic players do “romance” in tabletops. Like “writes erotic fanfiction” tier autistic. If you’re playing with people like that, you’re in an awful group.
Anthony Thompson
I let them pass if one of players is irl 100% female.
If both players are male they get bolt to back of the head.
If both player characters are males they get fireball to back of the head.
If its forced by DM, the DM gets initiative roll in eyes.

I finished BG1 recently and I can't say I liked it however I'm about 30 hours into BG2 and I'm loving it so much more Athkala is a more interesting place and the pace in general is much much better. If I didn't get the banter pack for BG1 I would have been bored to tears even more.
