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! | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

Interplay did more than RPG. | ||

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