The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

Baldurs Gate EE is not vanilla and in my point of view is fine as it is. If you have the time start with the first game, it makes your journey through the second more rewarding. There are even people that claim the first is the better game, they be crazy I say, CRAZY!

Elder scrolls is from another company. BG was done by Bioware.

both are excellent games. the first one is different because your characters are so weak at the beginning. both titles are worth at least one good playthrough imo.

Looking forward to Torment Tides of Numenera and Pillars of Eternity to take the BG torch and give us something new later this year.



Until then I'll be trying out Divinity Original Sin when it launches on 6/30

Success of games like these could cause a major rebirth in this style of game which would be great.

Bumping this because I now maxed every thing including ExperienceI can without using the editor and I at the maze for getting to the end of Baldur's Gate EE as a Kensai. I got 4 points Scimitar 2 points Single Weapon Style at Level 8 Kensai with a Scimitar +2 for my main Weapon along with Cloak of Displacement, Ring of Protection +2, Boots of Speed as my current items that I am wearing. Any advice for the final fight vs Sarevok and the fight vs Tamoko?

I just killed him using kai as soon I got rid of his first mage that isn't Angelo and just rape Sarevok and for my battle tamoko I just killed her using wand of magic every time she went for a spell and attack her using my scimitar. Time to get into BG2 EE!

Vanilla is good.
Start with the first.
If you can't play with it (i know i had trouble liking BG1 and it was hard to finish) don't worry. The second one is one of the most AWESOME RPG of all times.

Also to play BG2 you only have to know the ending of BG1. You don't need all the back story. But try to finish BG1. It still is a good game

BG1 and BG2 are very similar from a gameplay perspective BUT BG2 has just way more stuff going on and less "filler" content.
In BG2 your party is actually bantering/talking with you and between each other.
Due to the higher starting level BG2 is also more forgiving and you don't get instagibbed by a Gnoll or Wolve just because you had an unlucky roll (spells are a diffrent story).
Your also not as likely to run into enemies you can't beat and there are not as many "pointless" areas, in BG1 you find yourself often just travelling thru maps that don't have much Content aside from just being "in the way"... If you travel too far you are also likely to walk into tough enemies that just kill you. Some people like that, i personally didn't and in BG2 there are next to no maps like that (about 2 iirc) and you never run into enemies that you can't beat (aside from some extra tough optional "bosses").

The main thing that makes BG2 clearly better is simply the start:
BG1 --> Your a bit lost in the beginning and only get some pointer to a mine in the south and imho this felt a little forced to me... I just witnessed Gorion die and the first thing i should do is clear some mine? Wat?
BG2 --> Imoen gets abduceted, you need money, Athkathla lies before you with tons of quests you can chose to do. Every Area you enter is filled with small and big quests that "jump you"... You barely ever find yourself wandering around being unsure what to do.

BG1 is still an amazing game, but its clearly not as polished as BG2.

Yes Bioware was the developer and Interplay was the publisher. Black Isle Studios were part of Interplay and assisted Bioware (i have no clue what they did exactly though).

Black Isle was publishing for BG. They were part of Interplay, in charge for RPG games. Interplay did more than RPG.

I agree on all points. The only thing I think BG1 does better is it gives you a sense of exploration, which is probably do to the fact that the game map in general is more open.
