I know little about the game, pretty much nothing at all. Are there a lot of changes that destroy the original experience of vanilla?

I liked 1 more, but it's not as accessible.
You start very low level, the start can be rough. The feeling of freedom, exploration, adventure, is great. You can just fuck around and always run into interesting things. 2 is more railroaded.
It's not nostalgia, it's just that there's no modern equivalent.
Why not use the original version? Use a high res mod. It's very playable.

Site I'm pirating from doesn't have it

They changed other content as well. Only idiot would buy Enhanced.

Just use high res mod with the original.

Not a boomer, Baldurs gate 1 was amazing. Play through it once every few years. I still think it’s the best crpg

I agree with this guy, 1st game felt more free roam. Story never felt forced.

Literally called 'Disable EE NPCs'

What other content?

>1 is like 80 hours long
It's like 30 hours max

...wat? BG1 and 2 are basically impossible to miss everywhere that deals with GOG games.

Thanks

I didn't look outside of this site yet

goggamespc7v6z5e.onion.ws

it's sound design kino

Honestly I like 1 more because of the start, being more open. That's my favourite part of the game and my least is when you actually get to Baldur's Gate.

The game plays itself, you just randomly click things, I never felt like I was playing a game.

This. BG1 and 2 are at the worst when in big cities, Baldur's Gate in 1 and Athkatla in 2.

2 is a masterpiece
1 is almost unplayable

Yeah. I think BG1 is even worse than BG2 in that regard, since in the second game you know it's a slog to get through but then the game improves, but in the first game you go through the most enjoyable part of the game first and then get bogged down in the city.

I haven't finished it for years because I always end up abandoning my playthrough sometime after hitting BG

BG1 didn't age well, but 2 is still good

As someone who hates BioWare, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 are genuinely good. The rest of their stuff fucking blows. Jade Empire has a pretty cool setting though.

Going through the first one right now, it's defintely Boomer nostalgia.

My current BGT playthrough is on hold after returning to BG after Candlekeep. I don't look forward trudging through Baldur's Gate followed by Athkatla.

What did Bioware and user mean by this?

>TRIGGERED
SEETHE more, user. I'm a boomer and I gotta agree with the person that thinks it's aged like milk.

I didn't even make it that far last time. What class are you playing?

You SHOULD romance Jaheira user! She IS a CUTE mommy wife user! (She is! She is!)

>>TRIGGERED
>>SEETHE
What did he mean by this?

If I would play it I would romance Viconia.

What! Viconia IS a CUTE mommy wife user BUT her ending IS bad user! It IS bad user! (It is! It is!)

Human Fighter(7)/Cleric to match Imoen's Thief(7)/Mage.

Haven't played the first game but the second Baldur's Gate is a top 10 rpg, anyone who claims otherwise didn't really even try to get into it or just has crappy taste

>Viconia IS a CUTE mommy wife user BUT her ending IS bad user! It IS bad user! (It is! It is!)
You have a good point there, cuteposter.

Good taste.
You're gonna romance and bang her, right?

Thank YOU user! You ARE a GOOD user! user DID say there IS a GOOD mod that DOES give Viconia wife a BETTER ending user BUT I do NOT know THAT mod user! (Do not! Do not!)

Can I go into 2 without having played the first one or am I missing too much?

What makes it the best cRPG or RPG ever? Even with games like Pathfinder: Kingmaker or Divinity Original Sin 2?

Genuine question.

Only if you want the complete experience. If you only care about having the greatest experience, then not really. It's the sequel kind of deal, like those Arkham games. You don't really need to play all of them unless you want to.

What!

What!

A bit of both. I really enjoyed how they were trying to make the established setting as low fantasy as possible. It's too bad they went full retard with BG2. Couldn't stand playing that shit at all.

T-thanks, cuteposter. You too.

It's a little confusing because the mod is otherwise completely unrelated to Viconia and it's never been available as a standalone. It's actually the Edwin romance mod that gives her a good ending. This version should be the one:
>spellholdstudios.net/ie/edwin
and direct download because spellhold studios is buggy as fuck
>shsforums.net/files/file/1003-edwin-romance/

Have fun, cuteposter.
I think it only applies if she goes through her alignment change in BG2, though.

user do NOT listen to FAKE Valerie user! Romance Aerie! She IS the pure WIFE! She ALSO bears your CHILD! You MUST romance Aerie! The FATE of Faerûn RESTS on whether YOU have a CHILD who WILL carry your LEGACY to LEAD the people to GREATNESS (It does! It does!)

Thank YOU user! You ARE a GOOD user!

What!

it's like Diablo but for people with 100iq instead of 80

Thanks.
Is there Edwina romance mod?

>SCS + Ascension

where my niggers at?

tactics by itself is shite

all the worthwhile tactics components are packaged into SCS and Ascension as bonus options

No worries. Have fun!

I don't know. The Edwin mod vaguely describes something to do with Edwina, but I've never actually used it to interact with Edwin so I can't help you. Sorry.

only reason anyone likes 2 is because they romance their waifu.

git gud

imoen?

And here I thought turn based was the most boring combat type ever

It is a computerized version of a classic 2nd D&D run.

If you don't like faithful adaption of tabletop stuff. You aren't going to like it.

Its better than the dullest RPG of all time. Each attempt Obsidian makes to create their own universe rather than simply deconstruct a setting made by others, has been more disastrous than the last. Aside from the outdated gameplay and lifeless cities, Pillars of Eternity's only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of combat mechanics, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Sawyer vetoed the idea of making anything at all innovative or original; he made sure the game would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable nostalgia pandering to ageing Baldur's Gate fans. Pillars of Eternity might be anti-casual(or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Divinity series in its refusal of spontaneity, fun and excitement.

>a-at least the writing was good though

"No!"

The writing is dreadful; the narrative was terrible. As I played, I noticed that every time I engaged in dialogue with an NPC the game presented me with a Wiki-page style infodump instead of anything resembling actual human conversation.

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time this was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Sawyer's mind is so governed by obsession with pointless minutiae of the lore that he has no other style of writing.

Later I read a lavish, loving review of Pillars of Eternity by the same David Gaider. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kiddies are playing Obsidian games at 17 or 18, then when they get older they will go on to enjoy Dragon Age II." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play "Pillars of Eternity" you are, in fact, trained to shill for Bioware.
