They're just solid WRPGs. If you're a zoom-zoom you probably won't like them.
Jeremiah Sullivan
How the fuck are you supposed to play these on a controller? Sounds awful
Owen Powell
bg2 is amazing
planescape is good too even today
bg1 feels kinda meh now 20 or so years later
probably wouldn't bother with nwn today
Carter King
BG1 sucks ass but 2 is pretty good
Matthew Butler
>meh
I thought they were the same game just split into two parts?
Landon Cook
bump
Blake Hall
wait what is there a re-release of these games?
How's NWN1? I assume it doesn't have any online features so it's probably a skip.
Jason Wilson
Aren't these games full of some SJW retard's writing or something?
Eli Watson
Are they really going to make physical editions for all the games? Why not just sell one with all of them in 1 disc?
Nolan Cruz
Do you think that with every game with a 2?
Jonathan Garcia
The new content is retarded in most of them, and the "enhancements" is them stealing mods other people made and tweaked over the last 2 decades then commercializing them, but no, you're thinking of the new wave crpgs. torment, tides of numenera, pillars of eternity, divinity OS, etc.
Noah James
I guess today that would be true with the enhanced editions but the original Baldur's Gate and original Baldur's Gate II are very different games
Nicholas Turner
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.

I saw a lot of people on here saying the versions of BG1&2 they're releasing are some new(er) versions with new, gay writing by some retard propagandist.
Jack Perry
I mean if I see some proof i'll agree with it but I doubt it, if they haven't patched the existing versions with it yet, it's unlikely they'll just randomly make the console versions have it.
Camden Baker
Not buying them now, and it annoys that many people will without being aware of what you posted. First, the DOOM ports are shit, and now this. No thanks.
Evan Cooper
Welp, i was curious but now they can go fuck themselves
Carson Brown
Jaheira IS a CUTE mommy wife user! You do NOT need enhanced edition BUT you SHOULD play Baldur's Gate AND Baldur's Gate 2 AND romance Jaheira! She IS my CUTE mommy wife! You SHOULD romance her user! (You should! You should!)
Oliver Campbell
What's the Yea Forumserdict on Icewind Dale? Out of all the classic 90s/00s cRPGs, it's the one I hear talked about the least.
For reference, Fallout 2 and Baldur's Gate II are among my favorite games ever.
Xavier Jones
Icewind Dale IS a GOOD game user! You CAN make your OWN wife OR you CAN wife Accalia IN the Temple of Tempus user! It IS good!
Adam Lewis
You will romance anything you waifunigger
Gabriel Walker
that's because the second installment is pretty much a direct upgrade in almost everyday save for your companions
Zachary Edwards
What! I ONLY romance wifes user! I am NOT gay BUT gay IS okay! You need MALE wife! You need OTHER wife! Tell me wife I give you wife IF possible!
Andrew Roberts
can someone explain what having more then two proficiency points into your weapons actually do,it's always been a point of confusion for me I couldn't never wrap my head around it?
Blake Miller
does this mean that the switch version will have tons of gamebreaking bugs as well?
Matthew Stewart

Hunter Turner
it's great although the single player story can drag a bit when you reach the midway point
