Baldur's Gate Thread

nah you're fine you can do every sidequests in the game before spellhold

Nice and balanced. I have a friend who picks a paladin as a starter pretty much everywhere for over 15 years.

Too bad you can't really do much as a paladin in BG, though. Qualifying for a unique sword is the most class-specific event you will encounter.

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.

4E: no

3E: If I recall, there are only 3 major games with 3E rules: Ruins of Myth Drannor (skip it), Icewind Dale 2 (it's alright but more of a dungeon-crawler than a fully-fledged RPG), and NWN1.
About NWN1: The official campaigns are pretty bad. The main campaign is more of a Dungeon Siege or Diablo-like. The two expansions, SoU and HotU, are a bit better. The main reason to playing NWN1 in 2019 is the community-created modules. They are still being developed and there are thousands of them. At least around a hundred is outright better than the Bioware campaigns. Highlights include Bastard of Kosigan, Swordflight, Aeilund Saga, Prophet, Honour Amoung Thieves.

3.5E: The major games here are NWN2 and Temple of Elemental Evil. NWN2 original campaign is so-so, very generic. The expansion Mask of the Betrayer is really well-done. There are many good community modules as well (but not at the level of NWN1 modules). ToEE is a good game with the best implementation of 3.5E, there are community projects that fix bugs.

You're doing a valuable service user

Meme post made by ragers who don't know wtf they're talking about.

Mass effect 3 had side missions disappear once you do the next main plot mission, and that's about it.
The only time I really felt pressured by forced events was blind playthrough of Sengoku Rance.

You can list PF:KM under 3.5, it's almost the same system (there is no Beholders™ and polymorph is nerfed).

In ME2 if you delay going after the collectors right after the crew gets kidnapped they all get liquified

BG2 is filled with time limits, just not for the main quest.

how many quests should I do before spellhold if I want to keep yoshimo in my party

Fuck beamnogs

Was Bhaal the only one who dicked some mortals before dying?

He dies anyway, so who cares

Mystra technically did.
