I'm almost 100% certain you haven't actually played BG1/2. The technical part of BG 1/2 is superior to the technical parts of kotor and dao. The only things that are *better* are graphics. You strike me as the sort of person who wouldn't even understand why Deus Ex is so good and better than any FPS/RPG just because its graphics are a bit blocky. Which is weird because your name is Purpose88, implying your birth is in 1988. I hope to high hell that's not the case and you aren't actually 24 like me. I expect you are about 17/18.

What's truly sad is that people like you don't realise BG 2 was about 3x the size of kotor and about 5x the size of dao. You have been given unsophisticated, simpler, less expansive versions of BG2 and then you have adopted them as the benchmark of sophistication and quality.

Not only did BG2 have a large variety of encounters by using D&D as its system, it also had SO many different locations and random parts of your quest. Your mind would quite possibly be blown if you actually had a go at BG2 and played it for 100 hours.

It doesn't fucking matter. No games are still that good like they were at release. How many people do you think still have as much fun with BG as they had at release?
You just ignore the facts. No voice over, no widescreen etc is just a no-go nowadays.
You are either stupid or trolling when you say BG2>DA:O right now! The technical part of BG2 removes so much of the fun the actual game gives, that its just not that good anymore.

And btw Deus Ex is still a great game, but its worse then it was on release! And KotOR is still great technically. You can play it widescreen and it has voice over - what do you need more?

It's always cute looking at you kids argue about RPGs, and you always only talk about the game which were released after BG, which indeed ended the western PC RPG wasteland during the mid 90s, but you never mention the (better) games earlier

It's like people saying FF7 is the best FF, until they play FF6.

Well we already referenced PST so you are talking about TES or Fallout? Except for TES they count in the same category as BG2. BG2 is just more tactically exciting and offers more in the way of action. Also the interface is a little more advanced.

I would call BG2 the zenith of rpg both going forwards and backwards. Like a mountain.

No, you are either stupid or trolling when you say dao>bg2. You can't be serious. Dao really just sucks in comparison to bg2. Voiceovers, who the hell cares (ps there are voiceovers in bg2 just not all the time). Widescreen, there's mods for that. Dao is just a smaller game, with less character customization, worse enemies, less stories, worse story, less very hard characters/enemies, more linearity, smaller party, smaller storytelling scope, worse set pieces, FAR LESS replayability.

Seriously if you just actually play BG2 you will realise that dao is like a kids game in comparison. A fucking sweet kids game but still a kids game.

Kotor is a pretty limited game too. The worlds are comically limited in scope and in general the side quests are low on the ground when compared to BG2. It's great fun and the sci-fi element does make comparing it harder.

Thing about Deus Ex is that there is no game out right now which is even remotely as good. Even with the graphical advancements, it's still the most enjoyable FPS game to play nowadays for me and many others. It's just that when you have completed it 7 times you get a bit too familiar with it lol.

If you genuinely believe this then one of two possibilities obtains:
1) You have absurd opinions on the quality of video games
2) You've never actually played BG 1/2

In fact maybe both.

i buy all arcen games, so yes.

You play two different tribes by building cities like in civ 5 (but simpler). The catch is that you only build buildings and very expensive mythological units. The people will decide themselves what units to build and they will controll all units themselves.

The two tribes hate each other and will fight each other, so your goal is to keep things in balance by building towns/buildings/mythological units/casting wonders.
To prevent you from not doing anything, there are bandits, disasters, monsters and later enemy gods.

You have to make both tribes survive 3 different time periods to win a game.




The principles are simple, but its challenging.
